Preach! As soon as you start walking for transportation, the GoreTex conspiracy falls apart quickly.

Small umbrellas are great. Golf umbrellas are a menace.

The true way is a long rubberized rain jacket.

Ah. Classic.
Classically bad in cold weather, ‘cause you sweat more than it rains…

Mechanical venting, my friend. Personally I’ve had no regrets since switching.

Gore-Tex is only fit for wearing in a coffee shop

kdbnicol.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I beg to differ. I’ve used it lots while in bad weather in the back country and I find it performs really well, especially in the cold/warm shoulder season weather.

No such thing as bad weather, only Gore-Tex in rain.

A real local just gets wet.

In a city full of soggy tube socks, I'm the guy with an umbrella.

Ah but umbrellas don’t help with that.

If umbrellas are half truths, goretex is a lie so mendacious as to untrue some things that were definitely true.

Gore Tex is gaslighting dryness

Big Gore Tex is what happens when you build a statue of a Vice President just east of downtown Dallas.

Big Umbrella is worth selling out to - so much better than Small Umbrella.

I know people imagine they’re going to get poked in the eye if Seattleites start using umbrellas but, let’s be honest: most of this town is pretty empty.

Vancouverites use umbrellas without major concerns. So it is just a useless posturing and unreasonable position.

Londoners do too, without incident.

Seattleites are all on the slopes or on the trails. Ever see an umbrella there? Didn’t think so.

you could make this same comment with a photo of most of downtown

9 years here (and school with the big bad ducks), and I use an umbrella when I need one.

Seattleites don’t make enough eye contact to be trusted with umbrellas. You need to acknowledge there are other people on the street before you’re allowed to walk with such a big object.
