A hessian sack (clean) over your head and shoulders will keep the rain off and will dry out quickly and is free.(you couldn't really go to Tesco in it though!) Or could you?

Tesco will take yer cash whether you're fresh out the shower or up to yer armpits in pig muck, dressed like a clown or in a hessian sack

My ex husband is ex military, he gave me his gore-tex kit, trousers and jacket. they've survived my habit of straddling barbed wire fences and are totally waterproof, i've been known to romp with the pigs in the middle of winter in them! My son wore them for his duke of Edinburgh weekend hike and it poured the whole time, he was the only one to come back dry. Mine don't have pockets and the hood has space for a helmit which is not so good but i think the army surplus stuff is slightly different.

I like the sound of the bin liner very chic

Living in the north of Scotland we do get a bit of rain up here too  and I've gone through a few waterproofs, but the best by far is my Paramo Veles smock jacket. It's very light and non-rustley, and it comes with a little stuff sack if you need to use it. They are pricey, but worth it. The fabric is layered and actively moves water away from you. The outer layer doesn't shed water like normal goretex waterproofs but you don't get wet because of the action of the other layers.

Its got to be Goretex to work for me!

We were going to save up to get some nice outdoor stuff from the next country fair BUT, after getting dog slobber, chicken poo and pockets full of alsorts including dead stuff and smelly dog treats, I think an army one would suit our needs. I don't get too cold but I certainly get wet, army camaflague will do, mind you, we bumped intot he police in the forest last night, an old couple were lost, now I bet they did not have bright jackets on like I wanted   (off now as I am talking rubbish due to not long being awake and it is 9.15 OMG)

Just to say I am no fan of waxed jackets - have several. Smelly scruffy things. Yuk. Why don't I throw them out? Because I bought them before I knew better, then barely wore them and they cost a small fortune because I had to have the right 'label'.
