After 40 years of landscaping in the north east monsoon region, I
have finally found the perfect waterproofs,
Army Goretex, ebay is awash with them. Ok they are camoflage but you
can work all day without getting wet, including condensation.
Tops and bottoms average £25.00 for both, cheaper if your lucky, don't
worry about repairing if they rip, get some duct tape cut a square
out and iron on with damp tea towel on top. Mike," singing in the

Outstandingly good for working in wet conditions. Not much sweating inside.
£25 is good, I paid much more than that for mine 2 years ago. Mine have not
ripped yet but I have some duct tape if they do rip.
Thanks for the info.

Now you've told everyone, they appear to be typically £35 each on
eBay!
