I am the opposite. I like models in rainwear and I am turned off if I see women who do not take care of their appearance or think it is ok to be on camera less than perfect. I think it is because I want to be a sophisticated woman dressed in PVC myself.

Goretex and other technical rainwear to a certain point although I prefer this to people not dressing for the rain at all, which happens all too often.
Obviously I miss the days of when pvc and rubber rainwear were more common.

Snow instead of rain, rain at night or when I’m working. These things seems to happen all too often.

This forums higher focus on raincoats as oppose to rain suits. I think that this is due to the British influence. Scandinavia seems to have a more of a full rainwear culture, as shown by sites like Farmerrain.

Dry indoors not wet outside photos. I find wet rainwear more sexy. Also while I usually like hoods up occasionally I like the look of hoods down and wet hair.

Gas masks do nothing for me but I can see why there are those who use them to cover there face.

Dont like seeing rainwear for sale on ebay which is grubby, dirty, delaminating and at vastly overpriced as it is apparently ‘vintage’ so must be worth lots!

i don't like it when rainwear is mislabeled as rubber when it clearly isn't.

The things I dislike about rainwear.

People who smoke in them. Really hate this and the habit.

Also cagoules and raincoats with the hood concealed in the neck hem. So so wrong.
A hood should always be out and dropped down so you can pull straight up over your head. Or in some cases over your face. Lol.

I totally agree Rainwearseeker there is nothing worse than having to try to guess what something really is made of when it is obviously not what they say. I also dislike fabrics that don’t feel like they look like shiny jackets that looked like nylon but turned out to be shiny cotton.

Yes - agree with this is general, love to see a hood either hanging down or even if it’s ‘tied’ a little it’s still better out - if it gets windy then it’s great to see it blow up against the back of the head!!

However, I’m not totally against the hood rolled into the neck but only so that, in a sudden storm, the wearer will have to frantically unfurl it and pull it up against the wind and rain - although ultimately, roll out hoods are not all incompassing as a traditional cagoule hood! Mmmmm got me thinking about hoods now……
