foul weather gear
Tuvalu is sub-tropical you know. WHAT?
And, as such, experiences quite a bit of rain. SHUT UP.
Anyway - what with K riding his scooter to and from the station every day, and his Gap windbreaker/raincoat shedding its lining, I thought I'd start to look around for some kind of wet weather coat for him.
I was thinking that I would go look in the store down by all the marinas - that they might have some rain coats that were really waterproof. But K pointed out that those raincoats, having been designed and manufactured for guys with boats, could be expensive.
AHA! I thought -
The perfect item to search eBay for, yes?
Maybe not.
Although...Mervynh has always gotten good feedback.
My brother looked around a little for something, and feels that although this is rated for full immersion in 40 degree water for 14 hours - it may be overkill.
