Even the berghaus one's I've tried split.

I prefer to just go through the Dickie's one's from Wickes. About £12 and last me about 3 month. Actually buying a new pair tomorrow.

a couple of year ago  i bought some motorcycle water proofs that looked the business and lasted the season, cost me £55, the only problem was the made me sweat a bit,

luckily I have Arcos head depot near me so buy all my gear from their discount store, but find i only really need wellies and trousers i don't get too wet above waste height

I use these. They are superb. A set lasts about 2 years. Unless they tear which is very unlikey. They get a lot of use with me as 80% of my work is pressure washing.

Only problem is I am finding it harder and harder to find them. Supplier in Ireland has given them up.

They are very expensive but money well spent as i never ever get wet through them.

My worker brought his mums waterproofs to work one because his were wet.

We now call them "waterpoofs"

I use a pair of Maver Supercell Bib and Brace. Fishing gear but good quality, nice and high so I don't get wet when working overhead and they really last.

About £90.00 but the best I have used - bit warm in the summer but my bottom half is always wet anyway.

Dickies or Panoply are OK as that cheap just replace.

I always wear braces, look like Bobby Ball but the trousers last years instead of weeks.
