Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

I have a long Helly Hansen (guide coat) that is olive green, that is fantastic, also the shorter black version-just a plain black raincoat that is also amazing as well. I own two trenchcoats-one that is nylon (Calvin Klein) that I love to wear raining or not. My other trenchcoat is thicker-more geared for colder weather from Express both trenchcoats are black and AMAZING. Still I have one made by Drizzle that is single breasted, long and nylon mac that shimmers and shines when drenched in the rain along with the nylon rainpants that match it. Another great rainsuit I own is the Columbia one that is made of smooth rubbery material that is blue and also looks amazing when wet. My favourite however is the Brandit Friese raincoat that I ordered in the spring. It is heavy and rubbery with that shlocky sound. I wear it with the sou'ester rain hat that came with the Ilse Jacobsen raincoat that I bought for my girlfriend(black). This is one of the best pieces I own but to really make that raincoat shine you need to add some soap or cream rinse to water to reallygive it the WET LOOK!!! I have pics on Flickr under "wetslick". There are others that were slightly cheap or disappointing as well. My girlfriend also has a few trench and raincoats and will participate, but its mainly "MY THING"!! Cheers.

@Maccs.
The Co-op I worked at was the corner grocery store that existed in the 60s & 70s, now long gone
All the female staff wore the nylon overalls, can't remember but think they were a pale blue colour.
This one girl was tall & leggy and looked good in her overall
As you say who needed magazines when you could fantasise
If ever I got chance to feel hers ( or the other ladies ) coats I did.
They left theirs at work so opportunity sometimes arose

I have around 25 - 30 macs that i have collected over the last 10 years or so. Mainly solid pvc or PU ladies ones, plus a few see through ones. I also have a few thin nylon jackets and coats. In addition i also have lots of pvc clothing; Tops, bras, skirts, basques, pants, thongs and a couple of hats. Plus a couple of pairs of shiny rain boots.

Lots of fun!!!

My collection has grown and shrunk over the years but at present I have 20 PVC rainsuits, 5 PVC coveralls, 6 pairs of PVC chest waders, 4 pairs of thigh waders, 10 pairs of wellies, rubber and PVC gloves, gas masks, helmets and motorbike boots and gloves, plastic pants and other accessories!

Bidding in 2 at the moment on ebay.

Well, I must say I've been a bit of a collector. I have probably 50 or 60 "outfits". Better than half of them are clear rain suits, both one and two piece types. I have some thick clear poncho's and several rain coats and rain jackets. I obviously like frosty clear plastic but it has to be thick and crisp to provide the appeal. During the winter I'll keep the heat down and lounge around in a plastic kart suit over my underwear, as well as sleep in one. Keeps the heat bill down, hehe. Just recently I found a fabricator who made up some decontamination one piece suits out of frosty clear plastic..big and baggy. I'm not adverse to wearing proper gear outside as I live in a rainy area of the world and never had a negative comment about wearing a rain jacket or poncho to a sporting event or out on a fishing trip. I"m drier than they are!!
