Technical is a brand which Blacks Outdoors sell and I had a lightweight breathable waterproof top from them and it's lasted me ages.  Try not to buy one too tight to your skin though, the waterproof material will stick to your skin when you sweat.  Hope you find a good'un

Quoted from Rachel_Amy:

I ran in the rain last night and, needless to say, I got a bit soggy! Any tips for women's waterproof running gear? I don't want to get too hot or sticky wearing a jacket. My poor trainers took a beating too! :-(

Good on you for running in the rain though Rachel_Amy, you little trooper!

Depends on your budget and how much you're going to use it, but gore-tex is brilliant for outdoorsy stuff. Windproof and waterproof, guaranteed for a lifetime but expensive initially! Layering can also help with warmth, a close-fitting base layer works wonders.

I have a Karrimor windproof and waterproof jacket that does the job for the worst weather, I haven't found a suitable pair of trousers yet though.

That's great, good to know. Looks like I'll be shopping for these garments sooner rather than later as the weather is shocking! Where's the sun, it's July!?

I know - it's crazy! I hope we get some more sun before the summer comes to an end.

Me too. I'm worried about how I can get though winter if I've had no summer sun! I'll be so bored by January

I think the weather is so powerful and can have a profound effect on your mood, i.e. SAD disorder. More sun please, Weather God of Britain!
