Absolutely. Elderly cords and a somewhat disreputable fleece given me
many years ago when working with an agency associated with what was
then MAFF. It has an unfortunate multi-coloured logo but thankfully
nobody seems to have worked out what it refers to. Bottomed off by my
tatty but splendid Argyle 3/4 wellies.

I don't understand the references to waterproof gardening kit, a
totally alien concept which implies that one should work in the garden
when it is raining.

If you live in a high rainfall area then you don't always have the
luxury of only working in the dry.
Today I was lifting some of my tree dahlias when we had a 30 burst of
rain and hail, no choice but to work on through it.
