[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1053427, member: 14668"] The "3M" stands for "3 Minutes", which is about how long it will keep the water from soaking through the fabric. Decent rain gear for our job needs to be breathable, which means Gore Tex, which is a Latin word for "expensive." Cheap rubber/vinyl rainsuits might keep the water out, but they also keep your perspiration [I]in [/I]so you wind up getting soaked anyway with your own sweat. I have been delivering in one of the rainiest places in the country...Oregon...for 25 years now and I have never worn rain gear on the job. When it rains, I just get wet and deal with it. [/QUOTE]
