Re: Enjoying the winter sun in my smooth shiny rainsuit

Hi Sander, welcome to the site.

Since you mention Agu rainwear below your posts I am immediately wondering how the suit in this picture compares to the real deal from Agu.
The one you are wearing here is probably one that is regularly on offer on marktplaats, I have always been hesitant to purchase any as I am afraid it wont be as interesting as the real Agu gear.

Is it worth the asking price? Does it feel like the original Agu gear with the silky smooth rubber lining? Can you tell anything more or have some more pictures?

I've got a complete suit in (dark) green and a coat in the grey/yellow combination. They do get regularly attention but the old age of the gear is starting to show which is why I always keep an eye open to what comes by on second-hand sites.

In my experience there is quite some difference between the Agu gear as well. It matters a lot if it was stored in perfect conditions, which gives the smoothest rubber on the inside and perfectly shiny nylon on the outside, or that it was simply hanging in a hallway or stored in a garage and the rubber starts to flake.

The current asking prices for Agu gear online are a bit above my budget so I guess I will stick to the items I got. The long coats you mention sound interesting as well but they will have to be blue or red and of one of the first generations to look interesting. The later long coats has much less of a shine and are mostly greyish which simply doesnt pop.

How do you experience the longer coats compared to the suits? Just the inside alone with so much white rubber visible seems exciting.
