I get the Kaiwaka Stormforce gear it is great stuff - better if you keep it clean though, like most breathable stuff

Can maybe help source it slightly cheaper if you like the look of it, let me know if that's your kind of thing it may be too warm being double layer?

Or better still - Swazi (y) I have had years out of my old anorak, the first thing I bought when I joined up, and it is still waterproof

Pete are they ok for sitting on qaud - i find that the worst - the rain gets on seat and straight down your crotch!! Maybe i need to build a roof for the king qaud?

Ant..
The key to any good raincoat is to undo the zip at the bottom a couple of inches so it can flare when you sit down or eventually you blow the sticthing - I have found this practice also stops the goolies receiving undue irrigation when you sit on the seat (of course you swipe the beads of water off first.)

I don't do much through the buying group but I get raincoat and pants for the same amount of coal as you would spend on a coat in store, so there is a saving to be made - I buy wholesale, sell retail :)

However as a dairy farmer I was getting a year out of the trou, and several years out of the jackets, without treating them well or leaving them at home, much. (y)

I'm sure you look like the authentic hard working farmer that you are. Sexy sales chicks who focus on the superficial not worth it.

Oily hessian sacks arranged and tied appropriately with hairy binder cord. Flat cap.

Retro cool ~~~ (y)

4 West of England sacks were perfect. One for waist and one for shoulders. Change the pair at Lunchtime (y)
