madrobinsA good rain jacket is a lovesome thing. Mine is one we got when Spouse was doing audio post production and working on Out of the Box, a lovely kids' show; it is a heavy gauge plastic with (of course) the OOTB logo, and a hood. The thing is huge--I have to roll the sleeves up, and I have long arms--which means more coverage on those rainy days.
With a nice solid rain jacket, it's a little like walking around in a small tin shack. You get the sound of raindrops falling on your head while remaining dry. On the other hand, if your nice rain jacket isn't long enough, you get a guttering effect where the rain slides right down the jacket and soaks your legs. So: from four inches above the knee and up, dry as a bone, with the pleasant sound of rain above. From four inches above the knee and down, soaked through.
Am now home. Emily was amused by my soakiness, and likely wondered why I didn't just give myself a good shake.
