Wanted Waterproof Bib & Braces

[jakaron 3]

whats the best set of waterproof bib & braces has people owned

not the padded type..(over trouser type)

[patterdale moocher 10]

Goretex-army issue

[sikastag_1 689]

I've just been looking at them hsf stealth ones mate, under £40 and look decent dont know if they are over trousers though or just normal trousers and at that price it's not the end of the world if they get torn

[killa-combo 142]

We use musto ones on the lifeboat and they deffo do the job. Pricey though

[ferreting 22 22]

Hfs are not much good you will be disappointed when they arrive

[sikastag_1 689]

No I won't I ain't ordered them yet. Care to explain a bit mate on how they ain't good?

[socks 32,253]

Army issue bib and braces brilliant bit of kit .........

[andy97 209]

if you can get cheap gortex thats the best way to go mate i have the riverswest gear even though it is fully waterproof if used for walking you may aswell take em off in the rain as you sweat your bollox off

[sikastag_1 689]

Aye rivers west gear you sweat and it condensates like f**k, ideal for sitting shooting or on the quad etc but anything active and its no good.

 

Army ones are good but they only come in that daft German pattern and a lot of theme noisy if your into stalking, the nomad ones look the business but I wouldn't be paying £300 to wear digging holes and climbing fences the ridge line over trousers are ideal and a good fleece type waterproof but they don't come in the bib and brace type or I can't find them

The material soaks water like a sponge making them get very heavy .The stitching comes apart very quickly Just very cheaply made you'll be far better saving your money on buying something a bit more expensive
