Military surplus waterproofs

[Taupotreeman]

I know the whole waterproof discussion has been done to death but can anyone recommend a good Military surplus supplier (UK, EU or US) and a tried and trusted waterproof and breathable jacket. Not interested in the expensive chainsaw stuff.

Just google on line there's a few that come up, I've had a couple but can't remember who from. I thought you bought a really expensive coat not so long ado?

I got given a Swazi for work but it's short sleeved and $275. I also have a Stihl waterproof that was $350. Looking for some cheaper ones that'll take a beating and the military ones are always recommended.

I have a lightweight goretex new pattern jacket that is ideal as a "cagoule" but beware the sizes are very small and I had to go up two.

about £30 i think.

I've had that same jacket for over 5 years. Absolutely brilliant- always dry and is tough. We get over 2000mm rain a year here so I wear it a lot!

 

It just bought the RAF one (cos I don't like camo if I can help it) which is longer but no hood-

Awesome, cheers guys. £25 is silly cheap. A couple of those and you don't really mind if they get bashed about and dirty.
