Review: 5/5 Screwfix Hooded 2-piece rain suit

[backseateducation]

Good points - Excellent price
Seems fully waterproof
Drawcords and elastics to keep it in place and the rain out
Lightweight

Bad points - none


Conclusion - This really is an excellent product - widely available, several sizes (I'd recommend sizing up so you can get plenty of thermal layers underneath), and in my opinion very cheap. We were out all day in what varied from drizzle to heavy rain at Marts MFSM and at the end the only bits of me that were wet were my head and feet (despite supposedly waterproof shoes!) Excellent product - highly recommended.

Cost - £15.99

I like that. Shame they dont do skinny sizes though .

 

[backseateducation]

Honestly Al I'd try a medium, they're not massive sizes. Im sure they'd let you.

 

[Pid_16V]

I only saw the one size when i looked.

 

[backseateducation]

I think they come in M L & XL.

There's a SF in town, i'll nip in tomorrow and check.

To be honest, you and I are of similar build now. I'd be fine with a M or even a L because the only time I would be wearing it is when it's rainy, windy and cold. By which I mean I'd be wearing enough layers underneath it that it wouldn't matter if it fit me.

I'm going to pick one up.

That's true Chris - the waterproof Michelin Man look is in this season I believe.

Tovarish, I do not know this Michelin person, but I know how to look like potato.

A round, green waterproof potato

Do you see, Domitry? You do not eat green potato. So if dress up as green potato, you are not eaten. Is logical.

Sounds like ideal equipment for a holiday on the westward coasts of our fair isle ? In some places the only difference between weather in summer and winter is the temperature of the rain ! Perhaps we are just gluttons for punishment...
