Cheap hi-vis wet weather gear

[tri boy]

Price?

Dunno. Bro in law gave them to me. But picking around 150-200.
Bonus is they are well made for hard work, and handle rain at speed.
Breath well, and the Hi vis is placed in lower leg, so it dosn't give you headaches via your mirrors.
Engineer shops like Bay engineers or Blackwood Paykels sell excellent gear at good prices if you do the research.

I was in the market for black braces of high strength and well made.
Paykeles sell "Clogger", built for the forestry industry. awesome gear, and only $40

Price?
It's all about striking the balance between good enough and can't afford it.

Your comments set the standard you would pay more for.
My $15 bisons have not leaked.
My very expensive ones did.

I would pay more for a lighter fabric with the same water and heat resistance.
I would pay more for something that did not mark as easily.
But I have yet to see more waterproof.

i agree with you that a 15 dollar pair of leggings that dont leak are much better value than a pair of 200 leggings that dont leak.But when i go int o a shop and see a pair of line 7 leggings and pair of legging s that i dont know how they perform, i will go line 7 thank you(example)

[Big Dog]

Yup. Me too. If I had that kind of cash.

Thanks for that. I used to buy the Oxford brand braces, they used to be OK. The last pair I bought were crap: the elastic had very little stretch, the piece in the middle of the back that used to be leather had changed to plastic, and the clips just fell apart. I can see that they would have brought joy to the accountant who was responsible for this cunning plan to save money, but the product is now just rubbish.

They do seem expensive but I would probably buy those Cloggers even if the only colour choice was orange.

I thought they were crap too, so went with John Deere braces from amazon...The bees knees mate. Superbly made and loads of stretch, real leather and clips that'll withstand the rigours of climbing in and out of me tractor!

I am always impressed with John Deere products, and I used to think they just made tractors.....
if they built motorbikes they would be built tough and green

I have some carhart ones. Same positive points. $49 ice delivery from Uncle Sam. ex eBay. 3-5 days delivery.

Why carhart when there are cheaper ones? Because of the 57" length.
Much less wedgie. At 6'4" and 140kg they are nearly fully extended where all the other brands would be a little snug fully extended and too tight to lean forward.

Cheap ... is only if you only need to buy it once.
