What clothing should I buy?
« on: December 13, 2004, 10:30:12 pm »
Hello everybody,
Well I have bought my round, am awaiting delivery of my van and wfp system and am now contemplating which clothes to buy. Do you get very wet? should i get waterproofs and how warm is it when you are working out there?
Are there things you have found best like for example elasticated wrist bands on the coats or gloves?
all help appreciated as i will be buying some form of uniform and it would be expensive to get it wrong.
Cheers 8)

Hi Leyla, congratulations on your new business.

Goretex waterproofs are my favourite, as it can get very warm in anything else.  The goretex allow your skin to brethe.

What system did you decide to go for in the end Leyla?

Yes - you know those disposable gloves? Not tight fitting but ones that are slightly loose - made of polythene like sandwich bags - put them on under your ungers - extra insulation - toasty - even when the ungers develop holes at the end of winter. Got me thru this cold snap a treat!

They're also good on their own when the weather is less cold,  I get thru about three pairs a day - but at £2 per 100 pairs - who cares? :)
It's a game of three halves!

as much polyester as you can, and for trousers a must. If you get jeans wet your wet for hours, polyester dries on you in no time
