If you have a Go Outdoors near you, I recommend you go there. Got a great waterproof this weekend £45.00 down from £120.00. They do decent stuff but at a discount price if you get their discount card.

Can't go wrong with Army Surplus goretex

Poundland got some good button up ponch type things with hoods for, wait for it....................................... £1.

[Mmmm Beer]

Ever since my first one didn't stop ripping, I've been a convert to rip-stop things!

I've ordered my poncho from that link now.

Finally found it, this is the one i bought last year after my cheapo one ripped in 07. It is very big (so am I, although I am not as big as Joshwarrr!), it is fairly heavy duty but not too heavy (about 1lb in old money) and will fold up pretty small.

topshop have some great macs in like leopard print ones for about £25, dont know how good they'll be like!

[HurrahBrother]

Look about, they are between £15 and £20 but the tent fabric (ripstop nylon) ponchos are pretty good. I get over the cold/clammy feeling by wearing a woolen overshirt under the poncho (old levis docker shirt, about £15 from the net including delivery)

Alternative?

These?

As a pure waterproof it does the job. No clold/clammy feeling either. However to be honest, the fleece inner just attracts mud and then refuses to let it go. so at glastonbury it is of limited use/appeal (as a fleece for lounging on during a sunny day it is however very good).

I found the trousers fine for cold and wet times, a bit sweaty during hot and sunny times. Wear shorts underneath.

They do however make very good pillow stuffings if and when they are not needed.

Plastic 'pack-a-macs' of all types I just found I got soaked (sweat).

Joe bananas has waxed cotton farmers style jackets dirt cheap (2nd hand) and i'm still using mine from beautiful days 2007. Not bad for £5.

[themuel]

has anyone else purchased these? i know they are cheap so not expecting them to be very good but will do the job hopefully

Smother yourself in Vaseline & the rain will just slide off you.

I've been searching for a decent hat for sometime. Do you have a link to this?

[r0cky]

Cool, thanks for the links guys.

Puppetmode is the hat in your profile photo the Walaroo one? If so, it looks loads better there, than in the Decathlon photo!

Unfortunately I don't have a Decathlon nearby (Grrr), if I did, I would've owned Quechuas years ago. I'm still hoping that they start up their delivery service, they did say it was something they were considering.

Berghaus Tasman Goretex Jacket was £150 you can get for £40

Abit of fluffing about to get it for £40, but well worth it for a good goretex jacket.

[puppetmode]

yeah its THE hat. Not everyones cup of tea but like I said it keeps the heaviest of rain off AND as the Ozzies wear them it's great for the sun too

i've had one of these that has done over a dozen festvals, totally waterproof, a little heavy but also makes a great seat on wet grass..

[Octave Doctor]

Just to add - if you can - get goretex -everything - jacket, overtrousers and boots/ gaiters. You dont need the thick winter hiking kackets - just super thin goretex paclite. That waterproof cowboy hat is a great idea -hopefully we wont need all that tho...

[Reilly1912]

They are selling wetsuits of all sizes in sainsburys! obviously wont need it as its not going to be raining, but it should make my ninja outfit easier.

the large mens one was 35 quid.

[Rolf Harris]

unfortunatley i've just won a pair of second hand waterproof pants on eBay for 99p. its going to be an itchy few days if it rains

[sdaveak47]

dont bother buying any off that shit, some factor 30 and a hat is all you need
