If it has the label 'Breathable' on it, then experience has shown it is
only water proof for a certain length of time! The wet gets in eventually.

I guess the best would be to cover yourself in a plastic sheet. Now that
would be waterproof......but not very 'breathable'.


Well I went out in horizontal heavy snow this afternoon to walk the dog and
all I was wearing was a non-waterproof top and ordinary trousers. Just shook
the snow off when I got home and my coat/trousers were practically dry. No
gloves or hat as it wasn't cold enough at circa 1C or thereabouts. But I did
have my hood up so I could see facing into the snow. Perhaps the snow was
very wet at Dunkeswell?
