For the absolute last word in lightweight, 100% waterproof rain jackets check out the Simms Riffle rain jacket. Costs the earth but like anything Simms, it's in a class of its own!

I have one of these.... Very light and totally waterproof (I bought mine in Toronto) works well and packs up very small

Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home

I have a Peter Storm, which I brought before I came over here 10 years ago.... had to reproof it once about 3 years ago but still keeps out the wind and rain like new. Packs down and does fit in a back pocket on my fly vest.

As a long time devotee of the films of Jean-Pierre Melville it has to be a trench coat for me http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs0XYssIlbo although I have come to accept over the years that I'll never look quite as cool as Delon and must rather aim for a Lino Ventura style raffishness. It may interfere with your casting but the effects it has on others are clearly desirable. That's a very good film too if not quite as good as Melville's masterpiece: The Army of the Shadows.

What is your favourite word?
I suspect it could be “love”, despite its drawbacks in the rhyming department.
