    Fantastic invention, I would definately buy clothing with this stuff on it as its allways bloody raining in the UK.

    Can you imagine the practical joke possibilities with this stuff, give your friend a toilet roll coated in this stuff for example :lol:

    I bet it's nonbreathable though so it might not be the best choice for many applications (like shoes which you sweat in).

    Clothing wouldn't be a good idea.

    Now rain suits and umbrellas would be good.

    And on cars. Even on roof tops.

    There is a lot of things this would be good for.
