[Rhodes22-list] Rain Gear Suggestions

[Mary Lou Troy]

I've bought quite a few things from Camp-Mor over the years but their 
rain gear is designed for backpacking and hiking so read the features 
carefully.

You also might try Boaters World. I think our foulies came from them 
years ago. They are not a name brand and we bought them at the Boat 
Show so I'm not certain. They were less than the WM house brand. I 
think they are breathable (rather than PVC) and are quite roomy and 
comfortable. We bought them years ago and they've held up well. They 
don't have any built in warmth but the roominess allows you to put 
something warm underneath if you want. Most of our use has been in 
the summer when you don't want the added warmth anyway. The jacket 
has vents, numerous pockets, a hood that folds into the collar and 
velcro closable cuffs. The pants have suspenders (a nice feature) and 
velcro closeable cuffs.
