Waterproofs

All,

 Does anyone have waterproofs that are not polyester lined ? I seem to be allergic to polyester; I have a Sunderland jacket and a Cutter & Buck short sleeve waterproof top. I over the last couple of years I have been getting a rash round my neck and inside my fore arms. At first I though it was eczema but after various washing powder, shower gel changes I have managed to narrow it down to my waterproof tops, more specifically anything made from or lined with polyester. This is actually a bit of a nightmare as most of the modern day golf tops (Nike Adidas) are made from this, but I need a set of waterproofs and can’t seem to find anything cotton lined. Anyone know of anything ?

 

I cannot help with your problem, Stevie, as I have never owned a set of waterproofs in my life.

I do know that they are very expensive.

On reflection, for you to suffer with skin problems, I can only assume that you are wearing this garment next to the skin, perhaps a long sleeved cotton shirt underneath would prevent this problem.

Valid point John.

Steve,

Does this Rash come up everytime you wear the Waterproofs or just when it rains. To effect your forearm with a sleeveless jacket can only mean that you have a reaction to the Chemicals impregnated into the Waterproofs and this will only happen when they get wet.
