krawnden 1,036 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I use a pair of jack pyke beaters trouser tuffened neese arse and between the legs and find at £40 good value and will be ordering another pair again this season but if im going out in heavy rain i use my ridgeline monsoon smock and trouser and at around £200 are worth the money when working the fell and moors when the weather can quickly turns bad ATB RT Is the ridgeline monsoon 100% waterproof? I've just spent 8 hours today out in pretty much constant heavy rain wearing my supposedly fully waterproof Jahti-Jakt suit but the damp was getting in after a couple of hours. Not pleased as it wasn't cheap. Now looking for a replacement but want to be certain it really will be fully waterproof. Quote Link to post

I had quite a few Barbour jackets years ago but stopped using them as I found I got really sweaty in them if moving around at all. Then when you stand still the sweat chills you. Also I never seemed to be able to go more than a year or so without ripping a big tear on barbed wire. But maybe they've improved now? (It must be more than 20 years since I last had one, so to be fair they might not be the same any more.) Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Mine have got little studded breathing holes under the armpits and I buy them loose fitting ... That stops you ever heating ... The material is definately better than it was years ago and you would have to go some to rip a modern day Barbour ....... Quote Link to post
taytay 4 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 many, many thanks for all who gave me advise on good bushing trousers, the wet windy nights are sorted with wax Barbour coat and leggings, and I think I am warming to the seeland for bushing. thanks again. :thumbs: Quote Link to post

Thanks Ken, maybe it's time I gave Barbour a try again. I've always liked the look of those Australian leather hats, but never had one. I would imagine those wide brims would be a bit of a pain on a blustery day though ? Quote Link to post

Its got enough give to allow the wind to move it with actually blowing it off your head ...... Quote Link to post
