i bought a few of these years ago for dirt biking along with a ground sheet for quick repairs. when dry no smell......when wet vomit incorporated...they ended up in a camp fire at the request of my riding buddies and produced a nice blue flame.

A great phrase from my old RSM when asked by one of the Troops why he was wearing a prototype of the new Goretex Rain Jacket when the rest of the Regiment was still wearing the old stuff.

"I was wearing shitty Raingear when you were still wearing shitty Diapers"

Believe me when I say that was the end of that one way discussion....

We used to wear what was referred to as "Poor Mans Goretex". This consisted of a US Rubberized Rain Jacket with a US Combat Jacket liner, usually obtained from "Dishonest Johns" Surplus Store in Pembroke... Top that off with the Leather Combat Gloves with Wool Liners that left you with as much dexterity as wearing wet Mucklucks on your hands. Brings a tear to my eyes. Those were the good old days boys.

Sorry for the thread hijack... The topic of Raingear always sends me on a tangent
