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
