What is the best way to avoid a wet leg using trad ? After a hard days work my left leg is soaking ! Have tried using a scrim pocket cut in two but , maybe the holster neads a re design .

[brett walker]

are you talking about a bucket on a belt? if so i think it needs a re-design i could never get on with mine when i was trad it now sits in the shed redundant, you dont want to have a wet leg looks like you might have had an accident

If your using a BOAB then your overfilling the bucket, don't even put any water in it, there is plenty of water on your applicator and empty it regularly.

yeah but "BUCKET ON A BELT " sounds so good .....promises so much ! all im left with is a wet leg and a wet seat in my car !

[L.J.Thorpe]

i always had this when trad it varied from damp to soaking and i never put water in the holster and emptied it regular.....the ski trouser thing was not a joke look for some waterproof breatheable trousers its easiest solution probly

[m.b.s.]

never had this prob when trad just used it for holding my tools just dip aplicator in water aplicator holds enought water for a few windows

[jonah]

Thanks mr thorpe as you know when you have been cleaning all day it gets on ya nerves , but it wont kill me lol .

[L.J.Thorpe]

soon be spring will dry out between jobs ....well nearly if you go wfp its your feet that seem to get it

Lol, bucket on a belt isn't used as a bucket, don't fill it! Instead use the real bucket and rinse the applicator now and then between your hands. No wet leg.

Hi,

AS  posts before, you only put your applicator & squeegee in a bucket on a belt. Had mine for 5 years  never had a wet leg. why would someone put water in it?

I am with windolene, don't use it as a carrier for water just use it as a holster and get a good applicator sleeve such as a monsoon. Every now and then empty the water from the BOB and  away you go.
Been doin this for years and never a wet leg.

Jonah, do you have a detachable bucket? If you keep bucket on while travelling, you are going to get wet!

No dont fill the bucket on a belt , just find it wets my leg anyway !

[G Griffin]

I wouldn`t keep a squeegee in one as it scars the rubber and don`t like those rubber inserts to protect it.
  I find the Unger classic moves less than the others and this helps avoiding a wet leg.
    Also don`t overload your applicator with water. I rarely dip mine in the bucket and use a bottle of water to keep the applicator wet enough.

im the same mate, wet leg. i just got used to it,
i found the bigger the applcator the wetter the legg 

i knw  that you can get a strap for the bottom of the bucket that holds it just above the knee that helps

[jonah]

I think the best design would be to have a 3 inch spacer at the top where it fixxes onto the belt .

Unger is rubbish I find the ettore sidekick it the dogs, and what's the point of a BOB if you don't put your squeegee in it. IMO

Your applicator must be mingin' if you hardly ever put it in a bucket, either that or the windows you clean are poo free. LOL

I am with steve,
 you have got to wash your applicator out regularly or you are just pushing dirt round the glass.
As for scaring the rubber, I have never had a problem with that and been using the sidekick for years maybe it's a problem with unger BOB.
