Umbrella or raincoat

I usually don't bother using either one. I'm only outside from the house into my car and then from my car into a store so I just duck my head and run.

I always have an umbrella in my car. I do have a rain jacket but I hardly ever wear that.

An umbrella is what I use only if the rain is coming down hard.

I prefer to use an umbrella, no raincoat.

I have a raincoat. If it's warm, I just run out to the car.

I prefer both I fear the cold showers

I normally get drenched because I don’t have an umbrella or a raincoat. I have had an umbrella in the past, but never a raincoat. So, I’d opt for an umbrella if I had to choose.

If possible, I want them both to be sure. We cannot expect how hard the rain would be.

I suppose raincoats are more effective at protecting us against heavy rainfall, but I prefer an umbrella because I am used to it.

Many many years ago when I was still living in NYC where I was born and raised it seemed crazy that people on such crowded streets as there are carried umbrellas. You could get your eyes poked out but then when it rained people on the sidewalks would be selling umbrellas for a dollar each so if your umbrella broke or the wind turned it inside out you could quickly buy another. At one time I had a collection of umbrellas because I was always losing mine or forgetting them in the subways. Now when the rain pours in Florida with the wind it is impossible to walk with an umbrella so I use a rain poncho over my clothes,

Not many people here wear raincoats. I carry an umbrella when it’s raining but if the winds up it can be carried away.

I would like to use an umbrella
