    That accusation may require a meeting and subsequent conversation accompanied by the apprpriate amber liquid to get to the truth of the matter.The litigant will be required to supply a number of aforementioned amber liquids,until the matter is resolved

    Always quality, practicality, price in that order till I cant afford it - then I go with cheap and find out what I was missing or go without.

    Don't know about Line 7 gear, Bison, John Deere, Torpedo have they maintained their quality recently?
    They may have deteriorated since you brought them...... become cheap arse=wet arse and that's one thing I don't need while riding.

    I need to consult Mr Google to see whats available

    Most farm supplier firms stock their gear.

    Check out your local one ...

    Got some cheap gear from a short term retailer that has opened on Rosebank Rd in Avondale dorkland. Water tight so far and look to be well made. Jacket and trou for $20 each. Can't get cheaper than that.

    thanks, often wondered if I would get wetter on the inside than the outside in PVC.

    I need the gear to be TRANSIT APPROVED as well and Night Vision approved - so I can use it at work.

    I will look at those suggested in this thread and I will also check out the Tornado range - I have had their 4 in 1 jacket for a few years and its internal fleece lined Hi Vis jacket been worn every day at work for approx 5+ years

    I want to be able to store it away and when I get it out the internal waterproofing hasn't flaked/fallen off or become damaged/cracked

    for us non farming types

    PGG Wrightsons and CRT Farmlands

    I thought I haven't heard the name Wrightsons for ages and CRT for me is Cathode Ray Tube, but Mr Google came up with the goods

    They are miles away but when I get the chance I will look via Google then visit to try on.

    Work safety stores are a good place to get heavy duty waterproof gear. High vis' too ...

    Bought my waterproofs with my leathers back in Europe. Brand of both is RICHA (Belgian company as far as I know). Love both the leathers and the waterproofs. Great comfort and durability and they do exactly what it says on the box.
