The reason wargamers get odd looks is that they wear this outdoor garmet INSIDE where it is perfectly dry.... If they only wore it OUTSIDE they'd be more normal. Just like wearing camo kit is cool if someone is about to shoot your ass off, but if you're wandering the city, it looks silly. (Especially urban camo where the base colour is no longer white but pink (yes, I have seen this "fashion" atrocity....)). And as for treehuggers wearing them, that justifies the "accidents". "How did you manage to saw him in half with your chainsaw?" "He was wearing an anorak! He blended with the tree trunk!" "Oh, okay. We'll write this one up as an accident. Seems to be a lot of those. You'd think they'd switch to blaze orange."
