Waterproof Gear

[propforward]

I don't believe that waterproof gloves and boots exist any more, having tried many different ones. (Well, I really do believe Mikes review, but I'm done doing the search for new gar having found another solution).

I am sticking with overboots and overgloves. I have proven that these work. When overgloves are tucked inside the sleeves of ones jacket, the rain runs off and not down into the glove.

Now I just need a way of remembering to take them along.

If I had taken these two items along and used them, I would likely have made an effort to finish the rally properly on sunday, and certainly wouldn't have been bedraggled. Turns out I was just a bit cold - I thought my stich had completely given up, but it hadn't, I was only wet at feet and hands, and a bit around the neck. You live and learn.

For those that are interested the overgloves I use are "rain off" http://www.rain-off.com/

And can be bought online here: http://www.farklemasters.com/rain-off-gloves/

I like them better than the Aerostich ones.

Stick the gauntlet under the sleeve, not over it.
