Im after a set of fully waterproof mechanics overalls/ Boiler suit. im fed up of getting soaked after lying on the wet ground. All i can find is motorbike suit things. Are these fully waterproof?
 
If I am pressure washing i use a set of canoe waterproofs they work,bright yellow and they where free

yep...
i have a couple i bought from Lidl when they do their bike gear week, have been through torrential rain on the bike and stayed dry.

anything like that will be more than enough for you to lay on the wet ground, if Lidl stuff was good enough then any other will be as well
 
I just wear clothes. I was out last year around this time in the bloody snow changing my Transit cambelt as it had slipped and wasn't starting :eek:

Would like some overalls but like all the PPE I buy, it'd just sit there :(
 
my overalls are pretty waterproof after doing up 2 landys- they stand up on there own :p
 
If im doing stuff that will get me wet i just use a pair of salapets and a waterproff work jacket, Simple realy, Waterproof coverals arnt that great to be hounest.
 
Cheers guys, I have a fully waterproof coat so im going to invest in some trousers so i can actually stay dry for a change. Also those dickies overalls are 50 pounds on the actual website so god knows why they are up for 80.
 
I pay about £40 for a heavy duty single skin 2 piece set for work. if you **** them just doing ordinary car work your doing well lol
 
TBH if its realy cold as in - temps and it needs doing then i put on my fladen flotation suit ;) now that is water proof ;)
 
i use snowboarding selpoets, ok there not hard wearing to be sliding around on floor etc, but are 100% waterproof, well to rain and snow any how, not sure about laying in puddles usually thermal so warm even with shorts on and do me just fine, bit bulky but as i say depends what for really, i got a set from aldi for £17 and used them at a trial yesterday, it pi$$ed it down all day was really windy (was up in hills in rochdale) and i went home dry and warm. for top half i just use a high vix yellow jacket they over lap stomach part chest an back so rolling round shouldnt be too much of an issue
 
Thats the same as mine but mine is all orange with black knee pads and a stobe as well as a whistle :p tad bulky and a tad too large for me but bloody ideal. If you get cold in one of them then you should realy be paniking.
