Ok, I know what you might be thinking. "Who is this guy and why should i post in his thread?" or "What the hell kind of name is Sleepy?" or "Why do i smell bacon?" but hear me out. I'm currently working on a costume for a concept... for a video. Now, this idea might never become real HOWEVER, it got to thinking.
What would one wear during the rainy season after mankind has almost been wiped of the face of the earth? Now this isnt post nuclear or zombie apocalypse. This is whatever scenario you want to make it. Now you need to be light, non constricted and battle ready at all times without putting something on OR taking something off. What would you choose to wear?
Me, something like a [url=http://threadsofperu.wordpress.com/our-ebay-store/]poncho[/url] and a [url=https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=boonie+hat&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.43828540,d.dmg&biw=1440&bih=809&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=VcJHUe2sIPO24APo54DoAg]boonie[/url].
TL;DR what would you wear during the rainy seasons in a combat zone?

Ready for combat? Unless you're in a forested area or another place with low visibility, you shouldn't have to worry too much about wildlife. Unless you're thinking about other people. I guess you probably are. Seriously, in a post apocalyptic scenario most people won't want to kill you. It's in everyones best interest to group up and form comunities. As for the actual question, if you aren't able to get some pre-crash raincoats or maybe some animal leather (leather is waterproof, right?) it might be best to not wear much. Heavy clothes will absorb the rain, making it harder and uncomfortable to move and make you stay cold longer after the rain stops. Your best bet is to stay dry is to hole up under something.
