The poll about rainboots made me curious. Smile

I own one, but I hardly ever use it. Usually if it's raining hard enough to think I need one, it's too windy to make an umbrella useful.

I bought one when I moved here, but they're useless downtown since the high-rises create nice wind tunnels and try to turn it upside down.

Umbrellas are for tourists.

That's how my husband feels about 90% of the time. When he does want an umbrella...most of the time it's because he doesn't want ME to get wet. It's ridiculous and silly (but kind of cute).

I use one if I'm dressed up and did my hair, but otherwise not usually. Although I have a fancy one with wind vents that opens and closes with a button

This. Ponchos are for pussies.

Ditto. Am I the only one who thinks that as a true Seattleite: A) You only use an umbrella if it's actually RAINING - the whole drizzle thing doesn't count and You only use an umbrella if you're doing a significant amount of walking? I do too much driving where constantly opening and closing an umbrella just to get from my car to wherever is a waste of time and energy. Plus, that's why I have some coats with hoods.

Exactly. Heck I don't even own a rain coat. I just have hooded sweaters. I really don't care if I get wet I will dry off fast enough.

I didn't have a rain coat for the first year that I lived here but I'm glad I invested in one last year. I do a lot more outdoor activities in the rain now that I have a dog and it really makes me more comfortable. I had when my sweaters get wet and stick to me.
I don't use an umbrella but I have the cutest umbrella that got left behind in our last apartment. I found it when we moved in. It's pink and has an upside down duck head with a pink bill as the handle. I wish it were more socially acceptable to use it.

This. I have one (somewhere). I almost never use and would only use if it's really raining and I'm dressed up and going somewhere fance and/or have a long way to go.

On the east coast it has crazy sudden downpours (where in 5 min you are as wet as if you jumped in a pool in all your clothes), but I don't carry an umbrella and refused to duck under an awning at first b/c I ain't scared of no rain. I learned...if it rained like that, I'd grab an umbrella.

I have an umbrella I use if I am dressed up/have fancy-pants hair. I usually don't care too much other than that. In response to the other post though I do have rainboots. We are outside at football games and too many other events where my feet get soaked!
