I've always used a drysuit with a thermal underlayer for winter boating. The boiler suit looks good and good price too. It's been peeing it down with rain here in Clacton today so been indulging myself on your website watching the videos on large screen as built a media PC for the TV. Been watching them over for a while now and today the wifes working all day so got up to you going up the Trent. Bloomin marvellous!

I think being able to watch on a big screen is a game changer

although on a big screen the peices to camera form the jowly old bloke with a hairy nose is pretty unpleasant. I need a longer tripod to get the camera further away.

I have been driving back from scotland today - in the rain most of they way. Not as good at the miles as I used to be. The big Passat estate makes life easier but ten hours in the car is still a terrible waste of life and money

I have an old oil industry suit, one piece with hood, fur lined, you could go out in subzero with your undies on in that.

They do something similar in the german shops from time to time, A quick waterproof and they are excellent.

Aldi Salopettes and my wonderful Deutsch Marine coat. (still finding pockets and toggles in it) Night crossing Padstow to Dale wearing a tee shirt underneath http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Blue...224364?hash=item544180f96c:g:HkEAAOSw241YdTtQ

hard to beat the £30 for the overalls

We have Fladen flotation jackets and salopettes

The only drawback is that due to the first coat not fitting me we ended up with matching jackets. If we wear them ashore we constantly get asked about parking / berthing instructions / directions.

I endorse the 'thumbs up' for Aldi's cheap-as-chips fishing clobber.

I have the armpit-high salopettes, and they are superbly effective. Just look at the prices...!

Lidl do a padded boilersuit sometimes, last one I got was less than £20.

 

[PaulRainbow]

A cheap standard boiler suit, two sizes too big, stuffed with screwed up old newspapers works well too.

I have one of these https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/dickes-black-padded-waterproof-overall-medium/ which I use when doing heavy hgv recovery or wreck jobs involving cold wet fields, ditches, rivers, etc...

Very nice and warm, too warm once you start working in them!

and also offers excellent reading material at night

There's a lot of "work" clothing that is a revelation... I started to suffer with my knees when kneeling in the boat, and bought a pair of Cargo Pants for £20 off amazon, and paid the extra £6 for knee pads to stick in the pockets on the legs... Oh, joy, oh bliss.... and they're EXTREMELY robust, wash very well and are standing up to wear much better than the outdoor clothing types

You used to be able to get tank crew suits surplus from some eastern European army which would fit the bill.

I don't go round the army surplus shops these days so i am not sure if they are still available.

I swear by the Fladen flotation suit at around £100. Incredibly warm and waterproof and perfect for winter sailing. It offers a little more safety in case of a dunk in the water s well.

I more than once worked with fishermen who didn't take enough care over protective clothing. End result, useless crew/skipper after a few hours or less. Never let them get away with it on my boat, costs the whole crew when one fails. Same on building sites, complain about the weather but refuse to do anything about it, labourer footing the ladder for me, shivering in his hoodie, I had to come down before he knocked me off.
