They were hand me downs,my mother told me to wear one as we couldnt afford new coats,they were just pennys in Woolworths at the time.

Ah ok. I had a hand me down or two from my sister too. A couple of brown nylon macs when i was 11

Thanks for welcoming me, now I can share my thoughts and experiences with other like minded people instead of myself

Welcome to our VIP club of rainwear members, I also remember the old version of Peter Storm anoraks/jackets/cagoules, I also like all brands from nylon to heavy pvc....such as Guy Cotten/AJ Pros/Farmerain

[irishcagoule]

I have a AJ pro jacket also in black. next on the list is the cape

[Anotherraincoat]

Love the cape as well.

Hard to know what size to go for, plus the idea of no holes for hands sounds good for extra protection.

Welcome to the forum. You're not alone as you can very well tell. In my 40's myself.

No holes for me for extra protection, I have a yellow pvc cape that I put on in the pouring rain for full coverage, with hood tightened of course

Will wait for the Christmas holidays to be over, possible order of Cape or Smock, also waders/bibpants ..
