Seeland keepers/beaters suit

[2434me 13]

Anybody have the seeland keepers suit ? The one with the velcro fasteners to cover the welly tops .

I have seen them in one of the shops recently and thought they looked ok .But how do they last ??

I have a pair of the beaters trousers and i believe these are the new and re-branded keepers trousers. So anyway to the point i have had them a year now and they and the most comfy trousers i own and wear them all the time they seem to have lasted okay so far and have been through the washing machine a few times they are good enough for me but in York we don't get so much rain as i assume you do. I would recommend them but if i had the money i would have been tempted to go swedteam or harkila for the gortex but i am not sure they would be worth twice the price

I bought a pair of Beater trousers last summer and I've been really pleased with them apart from a few points.

 

One thing, as mentioned on previous threads by others on here, is that they snag on brambles which makes them look a tad tatty, however, as I'm using them when I'm out with the dogs their appearance doesn't worry me too much.

 

As for their waterproofing qualities I've found them to be extremely good at keeping me dry. The softer material around the tops seems to let water through a little on the front pockets themselves, though this could just be water dripping in and I'm not certain about this.

 

Also, although the welly-overlap-flap is great at what it does, I had one day of particularly bad rain when, as the flap only covers the front, water eventually worked its way in via the back and I ended up with both boots sodden. I now tend to wear them completely over the top of the wellies.

I have Beater Trousers. They are comfy. And they are warm. I expect to get no more than a year, or two out of a pair of trousers though. The first pair went back to Seeland and the stitching came undone at the seem on the inside of the Knee. I waited 6 months near enough, to get them back. That may have been the dealers fault though. The same happened to the second pair as well. I still wear them, but they are not on par with a more expensive pair for quality.

I would still buy another pair.(please bear in mind, I wear mine up to 5 days a week.)
