Been seeing those for quite a while now, haven't pulled the trigger on buying one (or more) - waiting to see if someone else has bought one and liked it.

Certainly looks like a good bargain, but looks can be deceiving

I currently have some clear rainwear on there as well and will list more today. See the auction number 231118851463 on US site and go from there.

trouble is you never quite know what you are getting, I suppose on the plus side if they were truly awful you could open a dispute and hopefully get your money back.
The other thing to remember is the sizes are probably Asian sizes which are much smaller than the European/US equivalents

I purchased one of the longer ones of these. Don't like it, it's very small for large, don't like the feel of the pvc. I folded it up at put it in a box with others I don't wear.

seems the sizing must be Asian then. Seems they run around 2 sizes smaller than European/US sizing which would explain large being rather small. Have found it with other things besides rainwear so am rather cautious now.

Think Gary from PUL hit the nail on the head a while back when justifying why it was better to pay his premium than try and deal direct with Asian suppliers that you knew what you were getting from him because of all the years work he had put in to weed out the crap, or something like that anyway. I think that was his point.
