You can buy it at B&Q.

I have been using the Trousers and Body Warmer for the last year whilst sailing and doing winter maintenance - Warm, almost waterproof, dries really quickly, lots of pockets and cheap….

I found it very interesting, thank you, just going back to have another look.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

They are not very explicit over the fabric used for the trousers and simply describe it as "water-repellent". Can you say what the fabric is? Is it a cotton mix?

Thanks

The fabric is 50% Cotton 50% Polyester.
Fairly heavy and only available in black.

I have worn them thought the summer and not found them too hot.

But what label is on it? can it be used on a pontoon, or in the baaahr?

Depends on your Club really - at my home club, Lilliput SC in Poole, the beer is £1.20 a pint and you can still buy a round for less than a fiver! So that fact that you jacket and trousers comes from B&Q is not really an issue

Nearly as good as my Lidle specials!
