Hi all I have a little bit of a dilemma.
I have a warm winter coat and salopettes for the upcoming Winter, the problem i have is there not waterproof. Im looking at buying a waterproof jacket and trousers to go overtop but im gonna have to order them well oversize so they fit over what I already have, but then there going to be massive when i use them with my winter clothing on. Or am i better off buying some new winter clothing that is warm and waterproof. Any idea or recommendations will be great 👍 thanks.

There is similar thread from yesterday that I replied to about the Trakker TechPro Thermal Jacket and the matching Bib & Braces. They are fully waterproof (10k rating) and unbelievably warm whilst being very lightweight - you don't feel like the Michelin Man...

They're not cheap (I think about £250-270 for the pair) but worth every penny last winter. I was perfectly toasty in minus conditions with only some thermal legging-type things under the trousers, and a t-shirt and jumper under the jacket.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
