kilts in the rain.

congratulations on finding the coat.

I use both the band spec rain cape and a duster. It's an Aussie brand called Drizabone (as in 'dry as a ...') and both work well. To see a photo of the band spec capes in action, check the Photo section below under the caption Bitterroot Celtic Festival and Games. I have a good shot of the massed bands, most members sporting the rain cape. I had mine on all day and it worked very well. The Drizabone has the straps that hold the duster to the leg and is great on cold, windy and rainy days. Both cover down to below the knee, so Wellies might be appropriate as well.

Now if I might ask what is recommended for keeping the feet dry on the soggy ground? (Or should that be a separate thread?) I find the long coat or Inverness directs all the water to the lower legs. Not pleasant.

I've never seen wellies on sale in Spain, but my coat is just above the ankle, so it's fine. I either wear walking boots or a brown pair of hobnail boots I had made.
