Hi guys, I'm on the look out for a set of cheap waterproofs for walking and doing biology/ecology fieldwork for uni. I do have a ventile jacket but don't want to wreck it while crawling about peat bogs etc. I was going to go for some really decent gear this year but they have messed up my student funding this year money is really really tight and will be for the forseeable future.
I can seem to find plenty ex army gore-tex cheap but none in my size I'm 6'1", 36" waist and 46" chest so would need 180/112 size. Has anyone used the bog standard dpm army pvc waterproofs? If so, any good? Any other cheap but 100% waterproof alternatives? Had some really cheap and nasty stuff before but it leaked like a seive, thats why I'm looking at ex military gear.
Cheers, Davie
