I don't like wet knees... I buy them at the hardware store, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-gear-1#post-1770629 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 15:37:40 +0000 kkards 1770629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>.invest a couple of dollars a foldup emergency rain poncho....keep it in your car or bag, they're cheap and lightweight, but are lifesavers (really outfit savers) for the unexpected and unplanned for...where i live almost every drug store/grocery store not to mention sporting goods store carries them).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-gear-1#post-1770618 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 15:18:56 +0000 cindysmith 1770618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Considering the "rain bombs" and other extreme rain events that Texas has experienced for the last couple of years, I probably need to start looking for a good waterproof jacket/coat/something, as well as some tall rain boots. I have some nice, short rain boots that are well insulated for cold weather, but I am woefully unprepared beyond that. Time to window shop! Going to be checking out some of these recommendations </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-gear-1#post-1770549 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 02:43:32 +0000 Ginger 1770549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm eyeing this rain jacket from Eddie Bauer right now. I could really use something lightweight and more casual than my trench; I'm set for cool weather rain, but not warm! I like the extra length and flare that will hopefully fit my pear shape. Rain comes with so much wind here that umbrellas only keep head and shoulders dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-gear-1#post-1770547 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 02:18:16 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1770547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weather has been so crazy! I showed up at work this morning only to find out that the park closed due to weather and my shift was cancelled. Drove home through the pass just before a mudslide hit and then kiddos school called to se they were closing early because of weather. Luckily, we have raingear at work. I have a pair of boots that are waterproof, and thats about all for my raingear. I would consider a waterproof jacket, but I'm hoping that this wet weather doesn't hold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-gear-1#post-1770544 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 01:55:32 +0000 minimalist 1770544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rain coat: would an Ilse Jacobsen be too matchymatchy with your boots?</p> <p>Her largest size is too small for my shoulders, but I like the feminine cut and the sturdy fabrication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-gear-1#post-1770543 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 01:52:16 +0000 Colette 1770543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Helly Hansen Belfast and it is waterproof. It comes in many colors so you might even be able to match your cute boots. I use mine for dog walking and casual wear in complete downpours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-gear-1#post-1770536 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 01:04:24 +0000 Gretchen 1770536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After so many years of California drought, I barely recognize the wet stuff falling from the sky. But with more storms on the way, I decided it's time to relook at my rain gear....which is sorely lacking.&nbsp;</p> <p>Up first was rain boots - 5 year old Target galoshes weren't going to work. I was hoping to get away a small purchase here, but didn't quite work out.&nbsp;<br />Sam Edelman's: cute, but the blue rubber just looked off to me. Also, they were too short - I want to go splash in some puddles!<br />Ilse Jacobsen; LOVE. They fit well, love the lining, and the color makes me happy. I almost went with orange, but red goes with more of my wardrobe.</p> <p>Up next - maybe a casual rain coat? I have a lovely purple trench from last season that works for business. But I think I need something more fit for running errands in jeans and my new boots. Any recommendations?</p>
