i nipped to decathlon yesterday.......this is a sailing 500 jacket...i cant remember which window cleaner who recommended them to me a while ago....whoever he was he was right!these jackets are a lot more heavy duty and half the price of the goretex berghaus/northface jackets.....I bet they are a lot more waterproof too.....








the boots are forclaz 700s.....the berghaus ones i used to recommend have got worse and worse over the years (in quality IMO).they used to last around 18 months waterproof but the last 2 pairs have lasted 8 or 9 months then their letting in water...not good.... >:(

 Theres no way you can avoid working in the rain if you have a busy workload and you want the days off YOU want off.....

i cant bear wet feet when out and about......

jacket £85
boots £100

I’ve used lowa  for a long time.
Great boots last a year minimum,
Must treat with polishing etc to keep watertight.
German made
If in doubt.....Leave it out !!

Only works 20 hours a week and still needs to work in all weather to have the days off he wants, you couldn't make this up.

We all need to work in wet weather mate.....

Your not even a window cleaner sean......

I've been informed off a few CIU members on here that you are in fact 'ewan'.....the troublemaker from 10 years ago ....... ::)roll

No we don't mate full time guys maybe but I do around 20 hours per week and have never needed to work in the rain, 10 years ago I was Seank, Slacky is putting it around that I was a member known as ewan and if you believe a word that comes out of Slacky's mouth then you're a bigger fool than I give you credit for.

your sooooo easy to wind up sean!! ;D ;D ;D

my average hours are 25-30 a week(including admin,end of the day jobs and collecting/chasing debts)sometimes less but i still have to work in the rain sometimes to keep to my schedule.

so for example if your 3 hours into your workday on a friday and the heavens open and you have 2 hours work left to do.......do you pack up and go home and come back saturday? OR leave it until monday? ::)roll

not a chance!they get done on friday in the rain so i can have the weekend off and i start fresh on monday without any of the previous weeks work left to do(esp if its 4 weekly work).....

besides im off on holiday in a few weeks ( 5 star hotel for a week with the missus)so i keep to my schedule come rain or shine... 8)

Dazmond Iv worked hard to build up my nice guy reputation on here so you can understand why I would want to protect it.  , Im off on a cruise in a few weeks myself, have a good holiday.
