dantheman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Man thats bad timing, blueskyblue were selling new suits for under £40 two weeks ago in a stock clearance, RRP £129. Overalls would be ok in the short term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yea, just slip down to an agricultural supplier and pick up a cheap set of overalls. Good anti-hero wear, who needs a really smart suit at the beginning until you establish what your real needs are? As for the winter, an old ski suit does really well, they are not expensive. Even pink can be changed in a large bucket with a tub of Dylon. If the budget is limited, creative solutions provide the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irm750 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I use a one piece motorbike waterproof suit by Weise. It's got useful pockets for radio and GPS, calf zips to make it easy to pull on over boots and is very snug and windproof with good closure at the neck, wrists and ankles. A bit sweaty on the ground on a hot day but a good incentive to get off 1st time before you melt! Best regards, Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frazer1981 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Man thats bad timing, blueskyblue were selling new suits for under £40 two weeks ago in a stock clearance, RRP £129.Overalls would be ok in the short term. Just to let everyone know. I contacted bluskyblue.co.uk and spoke with a guy there enquiring if they had any of these cheaper suits laying around still even though id missed the 'sale'. He kindly put it back onto the website for me under my name and said he can leave it until im home from work etc? I explained that i was at my computer now and he duly added it back to the website! So ive just purchased a brand new suit for £40?!! Very good customer serive by these guys i must add! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Cool, I'll let you bring a beer with my name on it to the August fly in I bought my last three suits from blueskyblue for an amazing price - great service too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
