Oilly Question

[stretch33]

Any advice on suitable wet weather gear for some-one standing 6'3" tall. Tried on quite a few pairs of trousers and to stay waterproof l'd have to wear my waders with them. Does anyone make long trousers! The XXL are long enough but l could fit two body's in them at waist level.

I have the opposite problem ..... to fit my waistline - I can cut off the excess length for a second set of leggings !!

I really appreciate the velcro tabs at the ankles .... I use them to stop the excess from tripping me up !!

Once upon a time both Musto and Henri would make custom oilies for odd shapes, at a very small premium over the 'shop' price.

Dunno if they still do this, but it's worth asking.

You two should get together.

Re: Bespoke

At the price that they charge for oilies ---- I would have thought they could have done it for nothing !!!

I can't afford their prices anyway !! - I go for Regatta and also end of line stock - I have other things to shell money out on !!!!!

Re: Bespoke

My 'fishermens' pvc oilies cost about £15 and go on for years and years (15 at last count). OK, not the most comfortable, but then I don't usually choose to sail in 'foul' conditions, and when I do trying to keep my glasses clear is a far bigger problem.

But you\'re missing most vital bit ..

To stand in the Bar with the label showing !!!!

It is just not good enough to be seen in less than the 'pukka' job you know !!!!

My Regatta combo - knocked me back 70 quid ... but its got removable fleece, adjustable leggings ....but of course the name and colours don't do much for the image !! The leggings are different colur as well !!!

But what do you do ??

Don\'t worry Nigel

People in the pubs of Ryde will assume you're some sort of Cowes Week official, and greet you on bended knee
