i am after some wet weather gear, hence the title. I have cruised a few places and not seen a lot on offer, maybe because its summer but there only seems to be 3 brands, other than the huge, PVC stuff from Bunnings. Rainbird, Cape and Gondwana. The first two are PVC based and seem fairly thin although they state they have rip stopping abilities. I have a couple of pairs of Gondwana walking pants and they are great but their wet weather pants are pretty thick and heavy.
When push comes to shove, the idea of saving a few pennies when you are sitting soaked in your tent means buggar all so price really isnt an issue. What i want is a good set of gear that is relatively light and keeps me dry. Also, how big do they have to be? Do you wear them over your gear or as seperate gear? If over, as i would suspect, how much bigger than your normal pants do they need to be?
cheers
