The reasons I sold mine were, one, that I prefer a bright yellow on a rainy day, and, two, the heavier material made me sweat more than a flimsy nylon one -- but then I sweat more than most people, I think. After trying the Duxback, the Carradice bright yellow nylon one (cut for a sit up and beg riding position and too short for the hoods), and the $30 Campmore (annoying leg loops and lightweight material that gets blow about by the wind), I will probably go back to the Campmor. But if you are not a heavy sweater and don't mind the color, this one is the one to get. I used to enjoy watching the little oil slicks in the puddle that always forms in the valley between your arms. I wish Carradice would make a horribly yellow version of their waxed cotton one. Note that we get all of 8 or 9 inches a year, but we tend to get it all at once, so to speak. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
