That’s not easy to answer! Depends on how you I’m feeling and the situation!

Mid weight yellow PVC trousers (first pair I had) were amazing. Waterproof coverall gave me my first ‘no hands’
Layered up nylon /pvc waterproof trousers are great but I guess current favourite would be wellies and my professional heavy weight Ocean oilskin bib’n’brace and smock

my long blue rukka raincoat for sure

Not too many years before they finally wound up, I availed myself of an special offer by MacMac and had an ankle length double studded red chlorinated rubber inside and out dream coat made, including hood. I reckon that was 1992. I called her Miranda and she never let me down, my absolute favourite of all time. Last summer, during the hot spells, I thought the end had come and the ultra smooth red rubber was becoming tacky. But I read up about chlorination and despite some experts saying that deteriorating rubber can’t be rejuvenated by chlorination, I gave it a whirl. Miranda repaid my faith in her and she emerged from the 20 minutes in the chlorine bath as utterly smooth and beautiful and non tacky as the day I first put her on. She’ll be 28 in May and I have promised her I will never throw her out, now I know how to turn her clock back, if not mine.

A long black shiny Rukka mackintosh, it was my first purchase back in around 1980. I don't know what happened to it, but have many fond memories of it.

I agree with blackmacjay - rubberised satin - preferably red or kingfisher blue - with red rubber lining.
