    After many years of hill running I have never been dry top or bottom after a good half hour of rain, no matter what they bring out I end up wet.
    If others can point me in the way of completely dry kit then fantastic. But for me they just keep an amount of rain off me not dry

    Whats changed? Waterproof, taped seams? adequately maintained?

    Seems fair enough. Espeically the adequately maintained.. which I guess most of us don't.. my race jacket is light, but super thin and wets out very fast. That needs treating.

    One big design fault with w-proof coats/ jackets is they have 3 holes in them one for the head one for each hand to g o through until the solve this issue we will be chatting forever
    Right off on a BG with full kit and others kit as well

    Absolutely agree Iain; it's not new rules that are spoiling the sport, it's those minority of runners, who refuse/fail to comply with existing ones.

    Depending what kit you have, you would now be forced to spend £?? to upgrade your old waterproof leggings, that many have decided from experience were 'waterproof', and adequately so, to some new waterproof leggings that equally don't keep you dry. So people may be annoyed.

    And, depending what happens with (eg) the Montane Minimus (whether 'waterproof' also means 'heavier than Pertex'), you could meet the new rules with something that potentially gives you less weather protection than what you started with. So people may be confused.

    The only issue I've got with the rules is where it says that if an event is cancelled then runners must not run the route unofficially. Unless I'm missing something surely this can't be enforced as anyone is free to go where they want after the event is cancelled?

    Unlike some individuals I have never had an issue complying with what an RO stipulates, I just don't agree with the blanket one size fits all rules.

    Bang on Pal in terms of the lack of anything that is waterproof.
    I have found a diifference in the cold and wet though between proper waterproofs and windproofs. Although you get wet in a waterproof, it's trapped inside and I think you get the same sort of thermal effect you get from a wet suit in a marine environment. Your body heat warms up that moisture and helps you stay warmer.
    In a windproof, the wind seems to create a chill factor through the material.

    There are some reasonable waterproof pants and jackets out there and you can get full cover for less than £50 without too much problem. Might not be Berghaus or HH, but it will do the job.

    If I pinned a race number on Sumo's chest he would probably deflate:wink:
