Post by: VladTepes on Tuesday, 27 October 2020, 03:19 PM
I reckon I might get more than a bit damp on the way home this arvo....

(keeping in mind I can't leave til around 5 and it's gonna be worse by then).


I probably ought to own some wet weather gear....

Yeah Vlad, waterproofs.Fit easily under seat. Normal old pullover type trousers for me and i bought an over jacket waterproof from UK, it works well. Couple of long plastic bags for over gloves. Maybe not the best set up for long trips but good for days like today, the trip home from work.

I bought Oxford wet weather pants and jacket (lined with mesh) they are double seam welded plastic so about 80% water repellant.

I was home before the BIG wet hit this afternoon fortunately  :cheers: :cheers:
