Any of you who garden or work in the yard, pen, or camp in the woods, lakeshore, or beach—let me tell you the wonders of a two piece rain suit, which you can find in the hunter’s section of Walmart, Cabelo’s, or any such place. I wear a size 14, women’s clothes, and find a Men’s Large does quite nicely for fitting, though bulkily, over anything I’m wearing and with the elastic waist, staying put. It has a side ankle vent so you can get it on and off with heavy footgear; it has protected velcroed pockets, if you’re in a downpour with, say, your cellphone. It has a hood if you want it, and it’s great if you want to stay warm in a high wind, as well as wind-driven rain.<\/p>\n
They’re fairly cheap, they come in grey or grey, with pink or blue trim (large is blue), and they are good to wear half of if you need a waterproof coat for a moment, or decide you want to kneel in the mud to take care of a sprinkler head. I have worn mine over full winter gear when shoveling snow, added warmth of non-permeable fabric, plus not getting soaked. <\/p>\n
I just came in from cleaning the fish filter, an extensive job, in a 40 degree rain (the new UV lamp has not yet arrived) and am NOT soaked or cold. I wore flipflops with all that insulation, so only my toes are a bit chill. <\/p>\n
But if you have never used a rain suit, they are a wonderful thing to have as a recourse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
