Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

Has anyone heard of an English brand of nylon rainwear called Paraprufe? Very belatedly sorting through stuff from the family home that's been in storage for years I found among what I think was kept in the last family car, a yellow nylon two-piece rainsuit and hood labelled Paraprufe along with some blue overalls by Pexwear, both clean and apparently unworn and the rainsuit VERY rustly. (My late father was the sort to be well prepared for anything with tools, spares, jump leads, towrope, warning triangle and all that, but driving in the 1960s you had to be.)

Does anyone know anything about these brands and is anyone interested in taking them off my hands before they go to a charity shop? I'm guessing that as Google doesn't find anything on Paraprufe they're not a valuable sought-after classic, and I'm more of a latex and PVC person myself.

which size? Are the navy blue raincoats / overalls from the 60's so popular? I love these nylon coats

Wow! £100 and it claims two sold. The Pex one is a blue nylon boilersuit, and both this and the rainsuit are probably medium or large size. Neither are in original packaging but there are no marks or stains to suggest they've ever been worn, solely kept in a bag in a car boot in case of emergency and then in a box in storage for decades. Maybe I should take some photos and see if I have a working eBay account.
