how much is import tax?

[jeepster]

how long is a piece of string! get it shipped usps and you might not have to pay any, ship it fed ex and you'll pay through the nose, tax seems to vary everytime i get something sent over. reckon on 15% max and you should be ok

I haven't seen the stuff in the flesh yet but Henry Gilby's White Squall stuff looks like its the sort of thing you are after.

white squall? what is it. where do i find it?

[spanner]

Its the IMAX brand from Ron Thompson, plenty of ads in all the magazines. The range includes a windstopper fleece.

The best 3 season gear is buffalo pertex/pile stuff. Not waterproof, but it doesn't matter as you'll be so toasty warm you won't even notice it's wet!

I have to agree with the posts about goretex not being waterproof, I personally wear a floaty suit or a Guy Cotten / Grundens yellow oilskin type waterproofs. After all, that's what the commercial fishermen use, and they're permanently wet at work. They don't seem to have any problems with sweat, and they work damn hard.
