I wear 'clothes' (d'uh) - but I don't, as a habit, walk around looking like a camo-wearing reject from the SAS on a daily basis (ever, really). Whilst I do appreciate the need for durable and resilient clothing for certain circumstances - I wear overalls when working on the cars for example - I don't have or use many of the made-for-purpose clothing the likes of which Screwfix (and others) sell.
I was hoping to get some feedback on the quality of any of the items they offer - which are the best weatherproof, best for crawling through undergrowth (not carrying a rifle but maybe foraging for fruits like blackberries), best for even WARM weather (yet resilient) etc.
As a prepper I have backed up all my normal clothing (multiple sets of socks, skiddies, tops, jumpers etc) but other than a couple of pairs of overalls (Dickies as it happens) and work boots I don't use 'commercial' gear but expect it's a lot better for living rough than a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
This is the point of the thread. If anyone has purchased 'workwear' that they think is above-and-beyond when it comes to durability etc then I'd like to know what it was and where it came from.
Just remembered - I have a pair of waterproof over trousers, elasticated waist/legs but they feel like you're wearing a plastic bag over each leg (they're not plastic that I can tell though) but they do a great job of keeping you dry.
