Gotten soaked in the last month about 3 times, to the skin, wring your pants out, miserable, cold and I don't need this s**t.
Waterproofs were good but it seems to be getting wetter, raining for longer and harder.
All 3 times it has been constant, non stop, whole shift.
So I got some Vass, bib & braces -

Little bit warm & thy don't breathe too well but they keep you clean & not wet through.
Needed a jacket but wasn't going for the Vass one, would have been sweaty.
So ordered a - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trespass-Oswalt-Jacket-Black-Large/dp/B01LZFP7RZ/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=waterproof%2B20000%2Bmens%2Bjackets&qid=1602661666&sr=8-5&th=1
On Wednesday it was horrible weather in Cardiff, on the 135 cleaning the sign & wall on the Tesco store.
It never stopped.
Jacket on, harness on (so pressure points), hard hat on, up I went and worked from 2 till 10pm cleaned two signs and a wall (see photos in 'What have you cleaned')
Forensic on purchases I wanted Goretex quality without the price tag.
Started reading about the highest rating of HH (hydrostatic head), how much a set column of water will a fabric keep out over a given period.
Top end Event fabric - 30 000mm of HH
Goretex 28 000mm of HH
This Trespass Oswalt 20 000mm of HH
Got to be worth a bash at £100.00 or thereabouts.
Finished at ten, packed away gear, disassembled the chapter 8's and moved the 135. Finished at midnight, still raining.
Took it off, dry, a little bit of damp but not wet, under the circumstances the 'breathable' bit of the jacket blurb I'll forgive.
Ordered the over-trousers for less wet days - don't bother.
They look like bell bottoms from the 70's.

We use chest high fishing waders for pressure washing and a waterproof jacket if needed stay dry and don’t get covered in all the muck either 😂😂
