Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

April showers supposedly bring May flowers. Is it rainy where you are? What gear do you use? What are you missing?

I love my waterproof cameras and weather sealed lenses!

I didn't even think of that! How heavy rain can it take?

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It can take a complete dunk in (shallow) water, so it handles rain nicely!

Nice one

My color palette is almost entirely based on Captain America so I've got these boots and Tommy Hilfiger hooded jacket. I'm pretty happy with them, though I also have to wear a billed cap under the hood to protect my glasses.

I still need a good (and fashionable) umbrella.

That's a great ensemble!

But I always like to keep one of those mini compact umbrellas in the vehicle.

Edit: Oops, meant for that to be a top level comment, but I might as well leave it 🤷

Hey mate! Thanks for your interest in our community. We're women only, so please don't comment again 😊

Love this post! I wear leather boots unless it's boiling so I'm always prepared for rain. Coat wise I have this bad boy. You can take the lining out, so it's light enough for warm days, and it's got a hood so I don't have to mess round with an umbrella

I live in Seattle and like to go outside. I have all of the rain gear.

But no, April is around when the sun starts making its way out again. Got a touch of rain over the weekend.

Heaviest goretex jacket I could find + goretex shoes

Regular rain coat, because I love photography and cameras are hard to use with an umbrella. Have one as a backup though. (though admittedly I just had fun tracking the umbrella down after it fell off my camera bag in middle of nowhere. Found it hanging off a tree fortunately) My current jackets can handle light drizzle.

Also, proper rubber boots which I've been using for, uh, can't remember, at least the entirety of the current millennium. (Indestructible. Literally made by Nokia.)
