May I ask for the thoughts on bib and brace type wind and waterproof over trousers in Goretex type stuff. Must have B & B 'cos if you've ever shot TR prone in the p***ing rain with ordinary trousers you'll know what I mean
I have tried the local shops for B & B but to no avail. Anyone have any direct experience of offshore sailing or fishing kit that works please?
Thank you

Re: Overtrousers
Try an industrial ppe supplier like arco. Gortex probably won't be good enough for what you need as you will be effectively immersed in water, the ones I see in use are of the oil skin tyre material.

Re: Overtrousers
Hi John;
Google 'flexothane'
This is what the farmers use and it is completely waterproof. It is very strong, quiet in use and stretches with the body. Have a look on the ARCO website.
You won't be disappointed.

Re: Overtrousers
I remember that day well, rain of biblical proportions, every singe item of clothing I wore was soaked wet through at the end. I also remember that immortal reply when the Viking moaned about her German surplus coat leaking :)
