People who get wet.

spending £300 on a jacket = daft yes

 

so why not spend £50 and look after it, you see a cared for jacket can last several years !

 

Well i did say they can be relatively inexpensive and you don't have to spend that much.

 

I don't mind paying what may seem a ridiculous price to some as it's also a safety tool if you will, for when out in the hills.

A Paramo jacket is easily worth the money you pay for it if you are in a situation when you use it. If you are doing anything like hillwalking in inclement weather a good waterproof jacket that performs well under many hours of continual rain is not a luxury, it's an essential survival item.

I have a shiny waterproof coat, lightweight, breathable and was half price in a sale. The only problem is in heavy rain my jeans now get wet because all the water runs off the coat onto the top of my legs Oh well.

As opposed to those who wear a rain coat.

 

So there's a steady stream of people walking past my window, the majority miserable looking, all for the lack of a rain coat.

 

It's not like in our climate buying one isn't a good investment. So why do people put themselves through such cold and misery when a waterproof can be picked up quite cheaply ?

 

There's nowt wrong with a wet T shirt.

There is that.

 

You could get a rain skirt, or a cheap pair of over trousers.

I'm sure you would change your opinion if you had seen me this morning.

I've just had the dog out for a 2 hour walk, for the sake of modesty I wore shorts and T shirt, they are still wet whilst my waterproof skin as dried in no time at all, the dog will take a little longer to dry out.

 

A waterproof rain coat would have just induced sweating and my cloths would still be wet.

 

i heard a story years ago about a crazy irish road worker. when it started raining, he'd strip to his pants and carry on working. all his colleagues used to laugh at him, until it stopped raining, when he'd put his dry clothes back on and laugh at his damp workmates.

A cheap one maybe. There are many decent coats with breathable fabrics.

A bit like the joke, why don't art students look out of the window in the morning? So they have something to do in the afternoon.

 

Get some work done.

I sweat in just a T shirt if the temperature exceeds 5°C, so a coat no matter how much it breathes will have me sweating like a pig.
