I never wear overalls. If it's really cold I'll wear waterproofs as it's usually raining or snowing too.

I never wore overalls milking. Cant stand overalls. That was milking in an abreast parlour. Just wear leggings and an old shirt and put a clean one on after milking.Thats what we did.

If you really must wear overalls why not just wear boxers and nowt else under them?

I've some bib and brace overalls. They don't seem as restrictive when you're twisting, turning and reaching to put cows on. Loads cooler too, but you do get splodges on your T-shirt/vest occasionally (well, every milking
) but at the moment it's so hot, the flies are bothering the cows something chronic and there's shite flying everywhere, I'm beyond caring. I'd rather stay as cool as possible http://www.hthughes.com/overalls-an...st-9-pocket-bib-and-brace-c876/prod_459.html#
I think these are mine (but in black). Look at the price too-worth a punt at that!!
I do that now and again, the problem I find is I don't know I'm going to get hot until it's too late usually after the first of 15 rows has just left the parlour, once we start we can't stop till the end 2.5 hrs and 350 cows later.

There's a budget make, "Castle", I picked up from the local agri store a few years ago, zip front, hard wearing and quite a bit cooler than the Dickies ones I normally wear. I didn't like them in the beginning because they weren't as thick a material, but soon learnt they are a great summer overall.

I find the John deere ones a bit cooler, more room to turn too

You just need to replace the head gasket every now and then?

Some overall are so thick and knee pads etc. They stand up on their own!
I found that in waterproof suits,comes out right past your nose.Thats not what usually "blows off" in overalls

I believe Dickies still do a economy overall,which is lightweight and cool.I prefer them to the standard ones,even during wintertime, as they are far easier to work in.

You always look cool Flos
I once ran up the school lane to pre-school in my overalls (must have been in the middle of something at collecting timeYou always look cool Flos
) All the mums at the gate turned and looked me up and down, so I just said "you might laugh now, but you'll all be wearing these next year"
