Taking a leaf from bill oddies book I put away the barbour coat and bought myself a "ventile" material coat.I have had it in use in torrential rain for around 3 hours at a stretch it works fine, so I will get myself trousers of the same material soon (the wife has a similar coat )they both accept zip in fleece liners which can be worn seperately
Boots, I have the old leather "daisy roots" which have given sterling performance (for around 10 years now) worn with knee length zip on gaiters,the combination gives adequate weather protection.
Hat, I picked up a waxed deerstalker, at a gamefair near lauceston, which is still going strong.
Socks, wool with either silk or all cotton socks
Gloves, shooters mitts a fingerless glove with a flap-overmitt or ordinary gloves, always wool,with silk inners as necssesary
Silk inners,most motorcycle shops,or just search online |
