>>1037463I say go for it dude. It's not in vogue so you might get an odd look or two. But if you're out hiking in the woods, who cares? I prefer ponchos and rain capes because I can put my pack underneath them.
The funny part about rain gear is people have started making "rain kilts" and extensions for their jackets because their bottom halves are getting wet. Pic related looks like a very familiar length. Talk about reinventing the wheel.
