It's mainly for myself - the sensual pleasure I get from being in my favourite shiny impermeable clothing - but I do also notice feedback from others.

Oddly enough (given that I'm a gay man), it's women who are most likely to comment, especially older women, and especially when I wear one of the glossy Stutterheim Opal hooded coats. Probably the shiny yellow attracts the most compliments (typically of the "you've got the right idea"/"you're dressed properly for the rain" variety) and then the black. The dark green and navy blue, by comparison, seem to go under people's radar.

It's rarer for men to comment but they definitely notice. On public transport - the Tube - I sometimes make a point of keeping my rain-streaked coat on, even when I start to overheat, and I'm aware of men in the same carriage furtively checking me out.

I think that, as with leather clothing, shiny raincoats, suits and jackets register with a fair proportion of the population - not all conscious fetishists in the way those of us on this forum are conscious fetishists of raingear but I think a percentage of people definitely notice raingear, even if they're not sure why.

When it's raining, I regularly wear my high shine black PVC jacket from ASOS when I head to my local corner shop.

The lady who works behind the counter recently complimented me on the fact that it was nice to see a man wearing a shiny jacket. At that point she reached across the counter and stroked my arm for a feel of the material!

I've had no opportunity to wear it for a while as it's not rained since and I've not seen her in the shop either!!

Nobody beeped me or shouted mean stuff at me or anything.

Slightly off topic from rainwear but I've also gone out in public, in the day time with a My Little Pony backpack and out in a stroller to and nobody batted an eye lid!
