Got a pair of the ESP Salopettes.

Very waterproof and windproof also keep you very warm. Just need the jacket to keep the top half dry .

But then again I just use the one pice if it threaten to absolutly pour down1!.

got the suit. top kit totally waterproof and windproof, they arnt thermal but then i just wear warm stuff underneath. I wanted waterproofs for both summer and winter that are light enough to carry about so they are purfect.

Worth every penny! Great bit of gear. I'm a right 'short arms', & the sleeves are just right for me. So if you are a long armed type you might end up with cold wrists!

I find most breathable waterproofs are good at first, but all of them seem to break down after a few washes, even if the washing instructions are followed to the letter.

 

Then it's a case of using fairly expensive propriety washing/waterproofing products (eg Nixwax) to try to get some value back.

 

So, anyone still happy after 5 or 6 washes?
