Blue 7, thanks for your post - sounds like a great solution. Please let us know how you get on. 

Ian B, thanks so much for your response I confess I’m not on here much, but I’m changing my opinion, the helpful suggestions I’m getting on my initial post is very encouraging.

i shall give your solution a go at the weekend when I attend the Tatton, Chester, meet (when it’s sure to rain!). 

Indeed it was Ian B's Sumex. The jury is very much out on its effectiveness but I need something desperately. I take all comments about being a wus on the chin, but living in darkest North Wales, where the rain comes in with a vengeance, I need to at least try ... I even put the full hood up the other day with skinned knuckles and broken finger nails to prove it.

I too like the idea of making my own, it's Plan B if all else fails.
