"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
During a particularly rainy spell this past Spring I decided I needed to find myself the perfect raincoat. I wasn't just looking for perfect fit, perfect length, perfect look: It had to be yellow. Not a dull or pale yellow, but a bright, lemon yellow; the kind of yellow you see kids wearing, splashing through puddles in oversized rubber boots.
I finally found what I was looking for in the Patagonia TorrentShell Jacket over at UnionMade Goods. Unfortunately I spent too much time sitting around thinking about it, and they sold out.
I spent some time this past week perusing my favorite online thrift store, eBay, and found one in my size at a price so good it almost felt like stealing.
Not only is it the perfect yellow color, it fits great and it zips up into one of the mesh pockets when you're not using it.
Patagonia still sells them online, just not in Plantain Yellow.
