Waterproof trousers and jacket

[TL100]

You get 175 and 350... not sure what the difference is, but i think the 350 are stronger made?

They don't seem too expensive, might give them a try

Looking at the website the ones I had were the lightweight 170 I think. The worst thing about them from memory was the Velcro ankle adjustment that would catch on things and tear them. The ones your looking at haven't got Velcro so should be ok.

Baler twine?

My Delameres have just given up the ghost last night so thinking of trying these as a stop gap to the Stormforce, any experience, they look grand?

before you buy kaiwawa
there is a company
ast direct.
now they stock waterproofs identical to kaiwawa in all but price
i know people who have kaiwawa and gone to his stuff, and they say its exactly the same.
tepapa on here, he has both and can compare.
ive used the ast ones and so far spot on use them in amongst sheep at mart so a really good test.

£100 difference between their hurricane jacket and the kaiwaka stormforce

I wear what they wear on the oil rigs and North Sea trawlers.

I have a set of these, fully windproof and waterproof. Kept me toasty inside whilst sea fishing in Norway last February.

Lots of pockets inside & out, and very strong velcro.

I have ordered some trousers from them today to see!

Just wondering if you got your trousers and what you think of them? Thinking of getting a bib and brace but unsure what to order. I don’t want the typical flexothane type material. I like the look of the stormforce but if there is a cheaper alternative that is as good that would be great

 

[unlacedgecko]

Yes, we must hope that was just before the old b*stard died of hypothermia; we used to get similar comment sfrom Sergeant Majors such as 'pain is just weakness leaving the body'... Gits...

"It's just mind over matter. I don't mind and you don't matter!"

Had an email to say they were dispatched on Monday......still waiting for them, very slow service so I hope when they arrive they are worth the wait! I will let you know as soon as get them but I wished I had just gone to kiwikit and bought the kaiwawa ones now ....at least I would have got them straight away!

Yes that’s poor enough service now a days.

These look good but maybe a bit bulky for lambing time when you could be wearing for 18 hours a day? The coat seems to be fleece lined? Are the trousers lined?

"It's just mind over matter. I don't mind and you don't matter!"

Yes, had that from a PTI at Browning. His nickname was 'Meathead' and his classic line, during press-ups, was '...and half way down, hold and rest...' As anyone who has done it knows, there is absolutely nothing restful about stopping with your arms half-flexed. Bast*rd.

I know of others who had issues with slow delivery I had no problem with mine believe me they are worth the wait but agreed the slow dispatch is very poor and unnecessary in today's world

Which ones do you go for from ATS?
I am thinking these are the closest match to the Kaiwaka stormforce kit?

[Poorbuthappy]

Is the difference between the hurricane and parka basically the fleece lining?

The description on those is almost identical to the Kaiwaka Stormforce stuff, and other importers have them on at a price not far short of the Kiwikit price. AST seem to be the selling that same item for a lot less than their competitors, for whatever reason.
I’m tempted myself at that money, ready for when my Kaiwaka bib & brace finally gives up the ghost. If it was a little lighter it wouldn’t be a Problem, as long as it was as waterproof and breathable.

ive had mine tested with wet soapy sheep at mart and have stood up well

Ive dropped AST an email to ask about sizing. Might give them a call to see if they have stock and how long delivery takes.

Hopefully mine will turn up today after a week of waiting!
