Hey everyone,
I am new here and from the south of Germany. I could also write in german, but for our international members english is probably a little bit easier (but you can also answer in german).
I like rainwear and other waterproof sportsgear. I am mainly into these nylon/polyamid/polyester Rainpants with a smooth inside. It feels great when i dont sweat an the smooth material glides above the skin. I have not tried heavier Raingear with PU coating or Rubber. Maybe one day i will get myself a farmerrain bib or something. It looks like the main focus of this forum is on PU and Rubber gear, i hope here are also some people like me that are into the thin and lightweight rainwear (:
Sadly i can not wear rainwear at home because i am still living with my family, thats also why i dont have that much. Does your family/friends know about your raingear?
Sometimes i wear a rainpant for sleeping, but only when it is not to hot, i dont like exessive sweating.
To have some fun outdoors i ride my bicycle in the evening when it is dark outside. I dress up in the shed my bicycle is inside or some other place no one can see me. I am doing it when its dark because i dont like to get accidently spottet by people i know. And it is also not that common to walk around in raingear in my area.
How is it in other countrys? Do you even stand out when you are wearing a rainjacket, rainpants and boots in public (especially in the northern country near to the sea)?
