Military surplus waterproofs

[Woodworks]

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-

 

Whats the sizing like on them Mathew?

 

Using a stupidly expensive Paramo at present thats great but just a matter of time before I rip a hole in it.

Sizing is all NATO so can be tricky to determine online. I go for 180 height and 100 chest. I think you are similar size to me? It's probably a little on the roomy size but not overly so and leaves nice amount of room for a jumper in winter.

 

Another good thing about them is the hood will come right over you helmet and earmuffs which saves a cold trickle down the back of your neck.

 

I think they are really good jackets epeacially at that price

Military 1st are good.

 

I have had the trousers for about 3 years but not tried the jacket. I reckon it would be an excellent choice but maybe a tad expensive.

 

The trousers have held up to all conditions to snow in Norway to jaggy crap in Blighty.

Thanks again. Think I will get one for winter but looking like it may come in handy for the rest of the summer the way things are going

eBay. Every bootneck flogs kit on there.

Problem with eBay is knowing what's good and what isn't. Also, who's reputable and who isn't.

Are these jackets light weight for summer?

What are the best waterproof trousers? Ones that go over the top of what your wearing
