Highbird70 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Gents, Unfortunally due to some very helpfull wildfowlers members, I have contracted the deadly wildfowl flu. Now I need to try to keep myself dry...lol....my last taster flight with GWA, was great, although I discovered that wasn't a great idea to sit on the muddy banks under the belting rain, with a normal pair of trousers and pjs underneath. I knew of my error in judgement in clothing, as soon I couldn't feel my lower region no more...and that was withing 10 minutes of sitting down...lol. Could you please suggest a pair of trouser or over trousers that would be suitable for sitting down on muddy banks, I have seen some on ebay in camo, ranging between £10 - £25 Gbp. I need something cheapish for the time been, a friend of mine is travelling to USA and I will buy some better clothing from Cabelas this summer. Ty for all the help that you can give Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfieri Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi, The best I have found is a cheap breathable pair of camo waders on eBay. The boots go quite quickly but I then cut the boots off and keep the as bib and braces 100% waterproof. I also have had a pair of camo deer hunters which are ok but not 100%.

Ty for all the help that you can give Mark Hi Mark Fishing tackle shops usually have very reasonable priced clothing, and for some reason always seem cheaper than shooting shops. I bought lightweight waterproof Realtree over jacket and trousers for £40, and you can buy them seperately too. These fold down small and you wear them over any clothing. I usually carry the jacket during the summer where I don't want a heavy coat and just slip it on when it starts raining. Another option is to go to an army surplus store, I picked up a pair of waterproof (cloth) over trousers brand new for £15. To be fair that was about 4 years ago but I doubt the prices have changed much. Good luck Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Ty Gents, Cos do you remember where from or website? Mark I got mine from local stores, Oakwood fishing tackle shop and the Army surplus store in Crewes Hill. Both of these types of stores are scattered everywhere so I'd look local to you and pop in there. With clothing I like to feel things and try them on, so I rarely purchase from the net.... PS I like the avatar picture by the way :good: Cos Edited January 30, 2013 by Cosd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Sheen Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 If you want waterproof trousers you cant do any better than genuine german army triple layer gore-tex over trousers. Only £30 as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I may be wrong but I believe that you can do no better than simply wearing striped jim jams. They won't keep the water and cold out but they would give your wildfowling companions a good laugh. Edited January 30, 2013 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
