Wet Gear

maxxuumman

Any good online places to get good wet gear. Anyone recommend a brand. What the coops have around here, you'd be better off wearing a sieve.

The best wet gear you will ever get. There impossible to rip. I got a pair of the dungarees when i was in nz last year. There expensive but they will last for years. There like woven nylon or something.

If you can get your hands of ex army wet gear, its the best. There is a shop in Ballyconnell that sells ex army gear but they do not always have the proper stuff. I got ex German army pull ups and jacket/coat about 8 years ago and its also breathable. Still as good as the day I bought it and it does not leak at the seams, also very durable and does not tear on barb wire, etc. It is more like a tightly woven material than the newfangled shiny stuff that is on sale in most shops.

I have a Flexothane for about ten years, doesn't seem to be attracted to barbed wire either.
Got a text yesterday advertising a flexothane wetsuit, wellingtons and a wooly cap for €100 in agrineeds (Birr ..free postage), so it can't be expensive either

They look the job alright. If only I had the twine "Dear Santy, I've been so good this year........."
Does anyone in Ireland stock that range?

I find the regatta stuff pretty good. Not shockingly expensive and seem to last. Only had them a year so yet to find out.
Portwest stuff is pure dung. Have a pair of bottoms in rags out in the shed and checked the label and its flexothane.

Wet gear aside, thermals are the job for the Winter. Wore them a lot when I was younger playing rugby but only really started wearing them on the farm last year. F**kin expensive though when you think whats in them. Canterbury ones are something like €60:eek:

Get either cheap lidi ones, or go with running longsleve tops/leggings, way cheaper than any of the official rugby stuff.
