Tyvek Rain SuitsView MessagesViewing posts 1 to 33 of 33 messages posted.
“I went backpacking this weekend and a buddy told me they gave him a tyvek rainsuit when he ran a marathon that is disposable. So, i did some research and found some. I can get 50 pants and jackets for $149. Does anyone have any info on these as far as good bad or whatever?” 6:56:13 PM 10/28/02 “Carrying that many rainsuits is never a good idea, whether they're disposable or not. J/K, I have no clue.” 6:57:47 PM 10/28/02 “It won't be long before they start mass marketing those puppies.” 6:59:16 PM 10/28/02 Get One That Lasts Almost Forever For $149, IMO “Disposable means they won't last very long. And they're just another item to fill up landfills with.” 7:13:29 PM 10/28/02 buddur “that is my backup plan to buy the rei raingear, but if these work well, i would rather buy them and trash them after i am done.” 7:17:00 PM 10/28/02 “And do they breath or do you burn up? 8|” 8:24:31 PM 10/28/02 “still trying to find out.” 8:35:12 PM 10/28/02 i would rather buy them and trash them “Like I said ...they're just another item to fill up landfills with.” 3:39:48 AM 10/29/02 “And very noisey! Noise Polution!” 4:58:06 AM 10/29/02 “What, you don't just carry an umbrella when hiking?” 6:05:55 AM 10/29/02 “I hear they don't breathe at all. Like being in a plastic bag. Maybe a poncho would work out better. And I'm not sure why it needs to be disposable - I thought it was pretty tough stuff? Many use it as a "permanent" ground cloth. It should last a while.” 6:07:04 AM 10/29/02 “Can ya post a link, or 800 #?” 6:18:17 AM 10/29/02 Try the Academy Sports site! “Frogg Toggs has a Tyvek rain jacket for sale...$59.00 at Academy...saw one two weeks ago in Nashville!” 7:51:32 AM 10/29/02 “and maybe tyvek underwear who knows.” 2:54:36 PM 2/09/08 “The thought of tyvek thongs makes me hurt.” 2:58:28 PM 2/09/08 “Well, if you put masking tape on the edges it wouldnt be so bad.” 2:59:24 PM 2/09/08 “Damn girl, I am not sure I like the way you define "bad".” 3:00:23 PM 2/09/08 “would tyvek rain suits work better then my stupid Preicip that I wasted money on??” 3:00:35 PM 2/09/08 “a garbage bag might. Didn't that get RAVE reviews from the rag?” 3:01:58 PM 2/09/08 “Life is too short to be good, chili >:)” 3:02:14 PM 2/09/08 “My precip has never ONCE kept me dry. Biggest waste of money ever.” 3:02:53 PM 2/09/08 “Yeah, well wearing tyvek thongs won't make the day go any damn quicker.” 3:02:59 PM 2/09/08 “LMDAO Chili!” 3:04:44 PM 2/09/08 “I don't even want to know what that D stands for mean.” 3:05:20 PM 2/09/08 “darn” 3:05:59 PM 2/09/08 “uh ho.... D & A” 3:06:44 PM 2/09/08 “dirty women Y'all are just as bad if not worse than men and no one will ever make me believe any different!” 3:08:32 PM 2/09/08 “I have NO idea what you are talking about mean. I only think about sex 50 times a day, not however much GUYS think about it.” 3:09:22 PM 2/09/08 “you mean you only POST about sex 50 times a day. You think about it 50 times per minute!” 3:11:16 PM 2/09/08 “ZC is at the prime age for peaking....watch out boyz!!!!” 3:12:47 PM 2/09/08 “yeah, but you peak twice, or so I hear.” 3:13:24 PM 2/09/08 “if it's done right you can” 3:16:58 PM 2/09/08 “why do ya all have to whine so much!!!!!!!!!” 2:34:39 PM 2/12/08
