How does rainwear turn you on?
Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
As I said before, it's that screech that I like. To me it almost says " go on wear me". When you wash them by hand, giving them a gentls scrub with a nail brush, you get that sound again

Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
I love the noise of soft glossy or glass clear 'sticky' PVC containing phthalate plasticisers- the rustling, creaking, squeaking and crackling. The sheer shininess/glossiness of the material. The sensually soft smoothness of plasticised PVC. The 'new PVC' aroma.
Multiple layers of glass clear or glossy PVC rainmacs/raincoats or multiple layers of PVC bedding magnifies the 'rustling' noise compared to just a single layer! When the PVC material is very clean and free of grease/oils and dust/dirt, the 'stickness' and 'rustling noise' are most pronounced. The more 'sticky' the material, the more noise it makes, I have found. Clean the PVC by immersing it in lukewarm water with a little Fairy washing-up liquid added to create a foam. Use a non-abrasive soft fabric cloth. Then give the PVC material a thorough rinse-off in clean lukewarm water (to remove every trace of detergent and residual dirt/grease). Allow to air-dry. Once dry, you'll find that the ultra-clean PVC material is very 'sticky' (it clings to itself) and noisy.
Recently I purchased one of those clear PVC trenchcoats on Ebay (listed as: "Ladies Girls Clear Showerproof Festival Raincoat Mac See Through Jacket Funky"). I was, overall, disappointed: the material, although 100% PVC according to the label, contains no phthalate plasticisers, as it has a harsh paper-like texture. It lacks the softness, 'rustling' noise and 'stickiness' of my preferred PVC materials.

Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
Dear PVCVinylEnthusiast, Seems that we have the exactly Same experiences and enjoy the shiny, clingy, Glossy, rustling, crackling clear or opaque Vinyl Materials.
I had many nice Vinyl raincoats in the past, Made by Shedrain, Wippette, Betmar, and many other Brands. I found out that the pvc Vinyl Material can be very different, even when it has Bern Manufactured in the golden era of raincoats in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Woolworth in UK and Europe had lots of very shiny unlined Vinyl raincoats in the 70s.
I also doscovered that even in the 70s they had many different Vinyl Mixtures regarding the fabric itself.
I also found out that different Countries (U.S., UK, France, Germany), sold different coats made of different Vinyl Types. The Vinyl raincoats in the U.S. Often had a thicker Vinyl Material than Vinyl coats that were sold in Europe.
They some danish or scandinavian vinyl raincoats were very thin, very shiny and very noisy.
Then the coats that were made in the 60s, and 70s in HongKong or Japan, had a different vinyl type Material than coats made in China.
Nevertheless, I agree with you. My biggest turn on is a superclean, brandnew ultrashiny not too thick Vinyl raincoat in red or blue or black.
I assume the 250 microns is the best thickness, 180 micron too thin, 400 micron is too heavy and too stiff.
Pvculike had a great material 2 years ago, where they sold a limited number of raincoats from shiny black, on both sides, inside and outside supershiny. This was the perfect thickness and feel, however very sticky.
Hope to continue this discussion to exchange opinions and experiences with you !

Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
It does indeed appear that we like the same sort of material, Rainfash.
I am so glad that I snapped up a few raincoats made in the shiny-both-sides black PVC material you are talking about. I'd happily pay extra if PUL ever brought that material back in; maybe also in red and/or blue colours. Rainwear items made from that material are definitely worth the extra commanding price.
I don't have experiences with extra thick 400 micron shiny PVC, but I'd imagine that, if the material contains additional plasticiser to compensate for extra thickness, it would be just as soft and supple as the usual 200 micron material.
Sadly, I can't reflect on rainwear in the 60s and 70s eras, as I was only 'stardust' at that time! I do remember, however, the glass clear 'jelly jackets' of the late 1980s. As a young kid around the age of 8 or 9, I was fixated on the rack of glass clear navy blue jelly jackets in the local High Street clothing store. They'd make a nice 'rustle' if you brushed against them as you walked past. They glistened under the shop lighting. Now and again, I would spot others- both male and female- wearing these glossy glass clear jelly jackets in glass clear red, glass clear green, natural glass clear and glass clear blue. I was fixated on these jelly jackets, for reasons unknown to me at the time. I really wanted one of these jelly jackets. My mum promised to get me one, but it never transpired!
As I grew older, my fixation for glossy opaque and glossy clear PVC materials morphed into a fetish. I loved to wrap myself up in the soft, noisy and supple glass clear PVC shower curtains, which, in the early 2000s, still contained phthalate plasticisers. The material felt so good against the barenaked skin. My mum discovered the shower curtain I bought from Argos, stashed under my bed. Bemused, she asked what on earth I wanted it for (you see, our bathroom was not even fitted with a shower unit). Nowadays I am grateful for the existence of PUL for my supply of soft, supple, shiny and noisy PVC materials!

Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
Great to hear, Enthusiast !
I also loved the glass clear crackling noisy shower curtains and in my first own apartment at university I had bought one and placed on the bathtub. Nobody cared.
In the 2000s era I bought some glass clear, very shiny raincoats in blue and red and black from PUL, the very early ones that had a kind of rubbery feel. Very shiny, crackly, noisy, clingy, sticky, but somehow rubbery as well.
I fully agree with you on the shiny-both-sides coats, sadly the supply for PUL ended. I had the RA01 and the RA68 coats made for me on a special order at PUL in the RA05 black vinyl material.
I take care of them, as they won’t be back again and cannot be purchased again.
Have You ever purchased the glass clear green coats from PUL ? They came in and appeared in the 2010s, but I never ordered one in glass clear green.
Do you know, how the material can be compared between the glass clear 2000s and the glass clear 2010s coats, or the new glass clear fabric ? Is there a big difference in the handling ? The colour won‘t be different, but the feel of the material could be really different.
BTW, one of my favourite raincoats from the 70s was this one :

Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
Nice rainwear collection, Rainfash! I see that you have 'the hots' for Jessica Alba!
One of my favourites from your photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/87934922@N00/1460644478/
I'd love to own one of those glossy red Shedrain rainmacs. It is dissapointing that I was only 'stardust' in the 60s and 70s, as these eras seem to be 'heyday' for PVC rainwear. I can only imagine what I have missed out on.
As for PUL's glass clear green material, I can't say whether its tactile qualities have ever changed over the years, as my first ever glass clear green purchase was around 2018. I will say this: the glass clear green material is, to this day, very soft, supple and noisy! I can't discern any real difference, tactile-wise, between the various glass clear PVC colours PUL offer. All of their glass clear materials are soft, supple and noisy- irrespective of the colour. And the quality of PUL's PVC material is magnitudes better than the disappointing Ebay purchase I made recently!

Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
Nice pick, Enthusiast ! The photo you mentioned is a raincoat from 1998, that has been sold by Woolworths in Germany. There was a red and blue one. I had both of them, and the class clear material was average. Not as good as the future PUL clear macs, but quite sticky, compared to other glass clear raincoats from this era.
There was also another raincoat type, called Plastico. They have been taken over from German funplastic owner. Plastico had a few PVC raincoats in various colors, but not as soft as the PUL ones, and mainly comparable to the Montcler range. Have you ever own some Plastico or Montcler raincoats ?

Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
Unfortunately, Rainfash, I have not bought any PVC rainwear from Plastico or Montcler. As you say, the comparable PVC raincoats offered by PUL are a bit softer, so PUL are my go-to place for my PVC 'fix'! I will support PUL with my custom as much as I can, as their latest newsletter suggests that difficult times are ahead, what with the political environment at the moment, rising oil prices, anti-PVC sentiments from the eco lobby and God knows what else is conspiring to end our enjoyment of PVC!
There is a similarly-named (but totally unrelated) company called Moncler, who sell some rather pricey puffer jackets. Apart from shiny and glass clear PVC rainwear items, fetishwear and bedding, I also like the shiny PVC puffer jackets (but I would never pay in excess of £500 for the puffer jackets offered by Moncler and Duvetica. Their shiny puffers are made from a slightly shiny nylon, which, I think, is inferior to high-gloss PVC).
What somewhat irritates me is that any shiny or slightly glossy/shiny sort of material, such as shiny nylon or shiny PU, is being described by some clothing retailers as 'vinyl' or 'PVC', which, of course, is a totally different material altogether! They are misleading customers. A puffer jacket with a PVC or shiny patent vinyl (aka PVC) outer shell makes a nice 'creaking' noise.

Re: How does rainwear turn you on?
This is such a fascinating and richly rewarding ‘thread’ that I feel I must add my two penniesworth. My passion, and indeed passion it is, is SBR. I happily possess two trench-coats (one knee length the other full ankle length and a big TY to Weathervain for those) and a number of skirts in that wonderful material. So, yes, I fully understand those who find such pleasure in the look, sound, feel and indeed smell of such things. There really is little to march it. I live 24/7 as a woman so can enjoy these pleasures in public and, of course, I am by no means alone in that delightful undertaking.
