Title: Waterproofs
Post by: Soupy on April 22, 2014, 04:25:25 pm: Due to the upcoming summer I'm looking to get waterproof jackets + troosers. I bought in October but they were cheap and nasty and have pretty much all torn. Those that use waterproofs, any recommendations?

Any good? The review on the site is a bit of a worry

sounds stupid but this is the second jacket and trousers I have bought, because I could not believe how bad the first ones were. they leak like a string vest. as did the first set. I am a big fan of Helly Hanson as my hobby is mountaineering. But these although looking great are rubbish. Buy something cheaper and stay dry.
