After a few soakings this summer and autumn I went out the other day in my 9.99 waterproof trousers and 24.99 nylon cagoul and had a great time. I was hot and sweaty though.
Most fancy waterproof jackets I have owned become not waterproof after three or four full muddy outings and hence I've gone back to cheap and nasty. They stay waterproof for ages but do make a mini sauna.
Is something like the Dirt Suit linked above any good really? It varies from 250-320 depending. I would buy it but ...
Quite fancy one mesell. Plenty threads about them on here as well with reviews from owners.
Endura are now doing a onesie as well.
What search terms would I use to find these threads? I looked already but got nowhere.
I've got a Dirtsuit Pro. It's better than cheap waterproofs because it breathes, but like all breathable/waterproof fabric it needs re-proofing occasionally.
The thing that puts me off the onesie idea is that trousers inevitably fail before jackets, especially due to saddle abrasion when you're rubbing grit into them. Jackets last much longer.
