Wet weather gear

[castaway]

I ve got to invest in some new gear for the kids.

I was going to buy Regatta, as Ive had that before, but when I contacted then to find out the location of their nearest outlet they advised me that they dont do the "Offshore" range any more. It looks more like they do more fashion/outdoor gear now, which is a shame as the old stuff was cheap and good enough for us ( with a wheelhouse).

So question is who can recommend some cheapish gear to keep the summer weather out.

Thanks Nick

Some manufacturers that do inexpensive kids sailing gear are:

Pro Rainer
Imhoff
Guy Cotton
I think Helly Hansen and XM too...
You could also try Compass???

It is not guranteed but the Helly hansen shops at oultlet villages are good for kids gear at vcheap prices. The main one's i use are at Bicester and near Ellesmere Port in Cheshire. There is one at Gretna Green with i think has either musto or HH.
I have succesfully kitted out meself in inshore gear and BAs etc. there was always lots of kids stuffm (esp in ther cheshire one as fewer boaties around i assume).
any more infor required pm me and i will send you more info

As they say here in Norway - "These no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing"

My friend bought Musto Kids chest highs and jacket for £40 the pair from Spindrift.
It has a website but some stuff isn't on it, best to phone up or go along to their shop in Benfleet, Essex. (www.spindriftmarine.co.uk)
