Has anyone ever used Island Green or Stuburt for waterproofs?
Are they decent enough or is it a case of buy cheap buy twice?

Benross make superb quality waterproofs, well worth a look.

That was how I got my waterproof jacket. Found an Under Armour one on Ebay going for £40, reduced to £35 with some voucher they were doing too. When it arrived it still had the tags on saying it was £120 new!Rather than buy new 'budget', have a look on Ebay for potentially better brands that people are moving on. They may be pro shops selling last years stock or golfers suffering from lockdown belly and wanting to sell their tight fitting gear! Pick a brand and a model version that is recent. You might surprise yourself with what is out there.
I'd back the post from Tuggles by the way, both specialist waterproof mfrs.
You don't go with a jacket . I would say that is the most important bit of waterproof clothing to get. (I like dry everything, feet, legs, top, but a jacket is the thing I would spend most on to get right)Over-trousers from Mountain Warehouse (brilliant) and a Ping brolly that was a prize. Couple of waterproof hats. Don't bother with jackets. Now that's budget!
If I manage to keep my hands and grips dry, I can play.
Yeah - I've actually never bought waterproof trousers, since often I'm wearing shorts anyway and my legs are pretty waterproof. But you need a jacket in there, just keeps the rain off your shoulders and stops your clothes clinging to you afterwards. I also have a bucket hat in my bag for the worst downpours.You don't go with a jacket . I would say that is the most important bit of waterproof clothing to get.
