Keeping dry

It's actual quite appropriate today to post this picture showing a massive waterproof padded jacket given it is raining really hard at the moment and I had a near miss while scouting first thing when the heavens opened needing me to run like the clappers to get into somewhere dry as I felt the rain landing on my legs.

Like the postal workers here I much prefer to be outdoors in short trousers because it never soaks as much into them, landing on me and so a quick rub down with a towel and a hot drink does the trick.

That is much better in my opinion than carrying damp or soggy cloth next to your skin for a long time as rain sooner evaporates from your skin than cloth although for extreme uses, waterproof trousers and the likes have their uses.
