Wore my Ocean 460g PVC olive-green one-piece suit today. So heavy, so hot and so noisy to walk around in! So many comments about the noise the suit makes!

A very wet Saturday so my wife & I loaded the dog into the back of the SUV & took him for his daily run at the dog park, both appropriately dressed - me in full-length yellow rubber-cotton blend slicker, matching yellow sou'wester and black lace-up Hunters; the Mrs. in her full-length jade green pvc slicker, Hunter black gloss wellies & her large white-trim bubble umbrella. No other sightings except for one woman a few years older than us wearing a pair of green LL Bean wellies but no raincoat. And one envious fellow dog owner who complimented the three of us on our choice of footwear as she struggled to stay dry under her small fold-up umbrella. After about an hour and a half we had to leave to take the dog to the groomers, so naturally that's when the heavens opened up & the really heavy rain started falling. We dropped the dog off and made our way to the mall for lunch at a newly opened Red Robin (a really good American burger chain). Parking lot was packed and for once we didn't mind parking all the way out in the boonies as it allowed for an additional long walk in the pouring rain, smiling all the while as the heavy droplets bounced off my rainhat & her umbrella, and streamed down off our slickers. She relished the opportunity to jump in puddles like a little kid, while I thouroughly enjoyed one nice long kiss in the rain as we stood outside the restaurant. All in all a good day despite the utter lack of sightings - not even a single teen/twentysomething girl wearing wellies.

Rainbeau... I don't know if you saw my post/question: where did you buy your Ocean rainsuit?

Thanks for helping out...

BTW, where do you wear it in public? Surely not in town itself?

The Ocean suit i ordered online from Ocean UK, which looks like its now been taken over by a company called Vass Textile Group.

As for wearing it in public - I wear it in town and in country!
