The answers to today's Strands, game #170, are UMBRELLA HOOD SLICKER PONCHO 
GALOSHES GAITERS SPANGRAM: RAINGEAR My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect 

I've marked this as moderate, despite the fact I solved it without needing 
any in-game hints, because a few of the answers are a bit obscure. I've never 
heard of GAITERS, for instances, and GALOSHES was probably a word I last 
heard about 40 years ago when my grandmother was taking me out for a walk in 
the rain. Are they still a thing?  Or actually, is this another American 
English vs British English thing? Plus, the spangram is that well known 
phrase RAINGEAR. Ahem. 

Still, UMBRELLA, PONCHO and HOOD were all easy solves, and the way the 
letters fell meant solving it via a combination of random guessing and actual 
brainpower was possible.
