Its better than the kagool, which we call a tea bag as it is neither use or ornament in the rain. :mad

People complained that the original design hood was too big so it was made smaller.

I thought it was designed by some latex fetishist with a thing for sauna suits.

The hat barely covers my head, the jacket is barely waterproof too in heavy rain.
I abandoned the kagoul in the drying out room as it was not waterproof at all, so I deemed it useless lol!
Just say NO ....to the new agreement.

The designe doesn`t really matter too much, it`s where they tested it that`s more to the point. Judging by its waterproof capeabilities the tests were done in the driest place they could find and never saw water until we all used it on a typical british rainny day. :evil/mad
