Rain Gear Question

[lovecoldair]

I need to know some openions on what is the best rain gear for our type of service work. All the salemen want to sell me carhartt or north face and they are saying bib style forsure....we are in the pacific north west so i will prolly be in the rain alot. i dont want something so bulky but in the same case it has to be rugged

I have a gortex (or gortex type ) Carhartt jacket that I have used for the last 3 years.

never work in the rain

I use a rubber Carhart rain jacket and bibbs. The wrists have like a wet suit material that seals the erms. It is very durable. I figured I would sweat my butt off but surprizingly the jacket is well vented. Gortex would probably be the best but I would be concerned about rips and tears. Also I would end up wearing it out by putting it on when I didn't realy need to. We have a joke, if I take the raingear off of the hanger and out of the truck and lug it up to the roof it's a garrantee that it won't rain.

take a look at cabellas or other outdoors websites. gortex is your friend.

I personally use these: http://www.froggtoggs.com/store/outerwear-rainwear.html

They are super light and I wear them over my uniform.

I also keep a frog togg jacket and a set of cheap pvc pants in the van. Both have held up for 2 years and they're cheap.
