[at-l] What do you use as rain gear?

[WenchAT03 at comcast.net (Teresa)]

Frank,

My rain gear did well... until I machine washed them.  The tag says you can
use a machine, but it tore mine up.  Luckily, I didn't wear the pants very
often at all, and the jacket was not as bad as the pants.  Oh, and, I had
another new set at home.  I got them cheap... so cheap I just HAD to try
them out.  I liked the O2s, but will consider Frogg Toggs next because they
seem more durable.  Until I make that purchase, I'm sticking with my yellow
fancy pants/fancy jacket.

Also, I don't have any experience with the following product, but the price
seems rather good to me, so women seeking raingear, this is for you:
