That was my next question mate

I know a few people with these waterrproofs and they all say they are very good. The only bad thing ive heard is the outside pockets on the trousers come unstitched and rip off very easy, but apart from that they say are very good, very waterproof and you dont get as sweaty as others they have used.

The smocks have a pocket for your mobile phone in the collar which is a good idea and the high collar is good for keeping the rain off your neck.

The harness is very good, IMO.

I would like a Company to make some purpose made waterproof leggings for Climbing.I have tried a few brands and all have fallen short of the mark.

We've all got the Harkie smock tops and they're pretty good. Well they would be if I'm investing £1000 in waterproofs. IMO not worth getting expensive leggings. They get filled with crap too quickly and the breathability lasts about a week. They also get beaten to s**t smashing through stuff. The high viz leggings we use cost about £5 and stay clean for quite a while, which is what you want from a garment designed to make you seen. The hi-viz tops clean up ok if you scrub with washing up liquid prior to putting into the washing machine. With breathable fabrics, I understand, once washed you iron them on a low heat to make the microfibres stand up. Of course if you use a high heat it just melts them together and you get a waterproof jacket that doesn't breath.
