Rain Wrap

[Kris]

I came across this, marketed for hikers, and it seems like it would be good for rainwear when hiking kilted or skirted. Probably useful on non-hiking occasions, too, although you don't seem to get a color choice, so it's not much in the fashion department.

might be practical, but uglier than 200 miles of bad road!

OK, so it's not street wear, but it is extremely light and compact, so can occupy a permanent place in any hiker's rucksack to be whipped out in an emergency and slipped on in seconds. Nice idea, and I might just invest. Another option is something like the skirts produced by the Rain Skirts company, at http://www.rainskirts.com ; their stuff is far more sophisticated and expensive, but stylish enough for the street.
