Rain gear

[PeakMode]

I bought a few .78 cent ponchos for Walmart that are still in my Driver's bag. Nothing beats a creating a poncho out of the rain bag thou. The ladies always get a kick out of it

I have never bothered. I would rather be wet from rain than from sweat

Yep those jackets are garbage and only good in a light rain

UPS used to let you buy optional gear like a decent windbreaker but that went away with increased security. There really isn't a good official UPS issue rain jacket now.

Getting wet does not cause sickness. Do you also avoid bath tubs and swimming pools?

Completely disagree. Getting soaked on a day where it’s just warm enough to rain instead of snow gets me sick about half the time.

Correlation is not causation

Correlation is not causation

So it’s a coincidence?

“About half the time” is flip a coin odds. Not exactly overwhelming evidence.


You also mentioned when it’s cold. So you just added another variable to it. Now it’s wet and cold. So wetness alone cannot be linked to it.

Agree. When it’s 95 and raining I’ve never gotten sick. You might be on to something.

Thank you Mr. Wizard!

Light drizzle/rain I just wear my cap to keep raindrops off my glasses. UPS coats are worthless as far as being waterproof. If a heavy rain hits and doesn't blow over after a ten minute break I will pull my umbrella out. My driver's seat stays dry instead of getting soaked by a wet jacket. I always look at the weather forecast before I get dressed in the morning and I will wear some good waterproof hiking boots to keep my feet dry.

Target has a rain jacket in close enough of brown that there won't be a problem.

I agree. I wear boots unless it's too hot out and I know my feet will sweat like crazy - then I have an old pair of shoes I bring with and wear (and I also bring an extra pair of socks).

Have never needed any rain gear. It never rains in Seattle.

 

[BigBrown87]

Windbreaker that's about it and tough it out. That's what 90% of us do, maybe a hat that keeps the rain out of your eyes.

Pair of rubber boots for high tide and windbreaker...had a few non-deliverable, emergency road conditions yesterday.
