Best waterproof work trousers ?
« on: May 20, 2015, 06:14:20 am »
Can anyone recommend some good quality work trousers/bib n brace for pressure washing ?     I am going through so many pairs, mainly due to me having short legs, and the bottoms just get torn up !        I have looked on fleabay, but can't see owt !

Thank you .

Matt.

I have north face pants that I use occasionally but the most important is the wellys, I use steel toe capped ones for ppe. I tend to just were shorts a lot so it's just a quick change and wash ya knees down  ;D

I also have orange pants from screw fix for working on railways, these are waterproof and cost about £15

I have been looking at these, and although the waders look a bit extreme, I might give them a try  ;D

Probably the first ones, unless you fancy wading through some deep water haha

I know the waders look like overkill, but I always end up with wet legs even with waterproofs.     I suffer with the cold as well, so when I get wet I really feel it in my bones.                Also I always end up with bleached workwear from using hypo, so waders being chest high would prevent a lot of this  ;D

I use the 15 quid ones from Screwfix. They last a few months, get torn, get bleached from hypo then I buy a new pair.
