hi what is the best wet gear for hevy rain i use golfing wet gear for light rain and my storm suit for moderite and hevy. but even that gets wet after a while and im looking to buy some new stuff just for the job. went to the local shop and asked they said go for guy cotton but that costs 200 euro or more for a suit i rember when i was a kid i had hevy pvc stuff and it let nothing in im probly going to get this again but the shop i got it from doesn't do it anymore. is there anywhere i can get this online or even know what the proper name of this stuff is. or where localy (galway) i can get it

try looking for retailers dealing with workwear,brand names like Portwest(irish made) or force 8, do some good wet gear at reasonable prices

I work on the local golf course and im out working in every type of S##t weather you could think of and by far the best wet gear we got is the snickers ASA workwear jacket and matching trousers. they`re 100% waterproof, breathable and very light. I dunno how much they are but I reckon theyr cheaper than what tackle shops would charge for similar stuff. Gore-tex is brilliant too but its very expensive

well donal i just done the same thing your doin . i also had the wet gear that let in the rain in over long time of bad weather. i got all my new fully rain proof gear in galway a few weeks ago. i went to the great out doors and looked through the on sale rail and got a jacket with hood and a detachable fleese lining for 50 euro { same material as guy cotton.}. and the bib and brace i got in corrib tackle in galway. it is a guy cotton, and its the light bib and brace. so it is not as heavy to wear as the commercial ones and dose the same thing. that was 45 euro i think. there was other guy cotton trousers {30euyro} but the bib and brace is what i was looking for. i got the large size so if i needed to put on more layers for the winter night sessions i had the room. and when the session is over a wipe down and there clean. . hope this helps regards Dan.

nothing compares to the old pvc yellow [oilskins].they might not be breatheable but they certainally keep the worst of the rain out without too much internal sweating..once your not running a marathon in them you should be ok...
