Drizzly Rain Vs Muddlarks Rain Suits

This is another one of our travel product reviews from our recent trip across Europe. We first mentioned Muddlarks Rain suits in our original travel post.

When I first came across Muddlarks Rain suits I thought they looked great and would suit my needs but I was a little apprehensive as to if they would be comfortable enough for the kids to wear but more importantly enjoy wearing them. As you can see from the photos below this was NEVER an issue. (We reviewed the All In One Lightweight Rain Suits for my 5 and 2 year olds)

The kids never once said they wouldn’t put them on and they were so easy to get on and off that we could take them off every time we went inside whilst walking around drizzly England streets.

They took up minimal room in our suitcase and I could easily fit both of them under our small stroller pram with room to spare for other stuff.

I would definitely recommend these suits as the perfect alternative to a raincoat as the legs are protected and the kids felt more freedom being able to jump around and not have mummy saying “mind the puddles”

For travelling purposes it would have been great to have a slip on shoe cover or something small (we couldn’t spare room for rain boots) next time I would consider taking a pair or swim shoes for everyday wear that they could use for rainy days too.

Check out their other versions too like the Bib N brace and rain jacket.

Hubcap Creatures is the creative project of British sculptor Ptolemy Elrington, who has transformed discarded hubcaps into captivating sculptures of wildlife. Operating from Brighton, Elrington has been crafting these unique pieces since the late 1990s, turning everyday automotive debris into stunning representations of animals from the natural world.

The artistic process behind Elrington’s sculptures is centered around recycling and upcycling. The hubcaps he uses are typically found on the side of the road and often show signs of wear, including scratches and dents. Elrington believes that these imperfections add character and depth to his creatures, making each piece truly one of a kind.

His work spans a wide range of animals, including foxes, fish, and birds, with each sculpture thoughtfully crafted to showcase the unique features of the materials. The brand logos, grooves, and markings found on the hubcaps often contribute to the creature’s expression and structure, giving them a distinct, textured look.

Elrington’s Hubcap Creatures have been showcased in various exhibitions, both in the UK and internationally. His innovative approach has gained recognition for its creativity and environmental awareness, demonstrating how discarded materials can be transformed into meaningful art.

For art enthusiasts or collectors, Elrington offers a mix of available sculptures and custom commissions, allowing individuals to bring home a piece of this upcycled art. Hubcap Creatures stands as a brilliant example of how creativity can breathe new life into the most unlikely of materials, all while promoting sustainability.
