[quote=Anonymous]People are so defensive! I'm not OP but I get what she means. I think if she had been seeing people who'd obviously driven to the store and dashed across the parking lot for 30 seconds, she wouldn't have noticed. I am betting she was at an urban store where people walk and saw a lot of people with soaked-through sneakers and sweatshirts (which I've also seen) and wondered why they didn't have anything more appropriate.

BTW I don't have true rain boots but I have rain-appropriate shoes (a pair of weatherproof Chelsea boots with a good tread on the sole for slick surfaces). I do have a rain jacket because I think it actually rains a decent amount in DC, but its not stiff or thick or overly hot -- it's made of a lightweight technical fabric, not rubber, because we live in 2023 not 1953.

Actually my main issue is that my rain jacket is super lightweight because it was purchased for spring/summer/fall rain in DC. But as our winters have gotten warmer, we get less snow/sleet and more rain this time of year, and I feel like I need an insulated waterproof coat for that. I have a down coat that does great in snow but not in rain.[/quote]
