rosehip Sep 2013 3:13pm, 25 Sep 2013 2,273 posts	0 rosehip husband bought me a cheap very bright orange hooded smock thing from Sport Direct - it's Karrimor says water resistant but kept me dry in "normal" rain. Haven't subjected it to horizontal stair rods yet ! but for less than £20 it packs up very small and light
