RAIN WEATHER STYLE AND FUNCTION

Just when I thought to start unpacking and freshening Spring gear, slush and sludge came plopping on the windowsill today. Mr. MSR was prepared nonetheless. Suited and booted (literally). The rainy weather brought me back to Patrik Ervell's recent "Peekaboo Slicker" for his Fall/Winter presentation.

Patrik designed a multitude of clear rain wear--in traditional cuts and poncho styles. I rooted for his traditional style simply because of the unique designing and made-to-measure appeal it offered.
