Just wondering what waterproof you guys use?
I need a decent set that will actually keep the rain out for more than 5 mins and are strong because i'll be using them on the farm aswell. Not too fussed about the price as i'll claim the vat back (don't want to pay stupid money though)

For my legs i use the bright yellow things the guys digging up the roads use 100% waterproof and have never let me down. For the top i just use a cheap Kagool, not the type with a zip up the front.

Dickies storm proof overalls - really warm, and never let me down.

I got this in a medium :

Has survived heavy rain working outside and kept me bone dry. If its on a farm though, the orange suit from the above poster is probably better Smile

https://www.protecdirect.co.uk/Waterproof-Clothing/Two-Piece-Wetsuit.htm

I have a bunch of different waterproofs ranging from stuff like the above up to fancy Gore-Tex textiles.

My preference is always two-piece, partly for convenience and partly because every one-piece suit I ever owned leaked and left me with a wet crotch.
