so do any of you wear special outdoors type clothing like waterproof breathable trousers when out in the sticks or do you just stay with jeans and t-shirts?

MudRat · « **Reply #1 on:** August 16, 2007, 17:14:35 »

Wet jeans :shock: if i am going hiking, shorts.

Welshbreed · « **Reply #2 on:** August 16, 2007, 21:22:47 »

if i plan to do something that involves water, i try to take a towel, but one cant be prepared all the time. otherwise jeans, t-shirt (or not) and a fleece/coat

I've seen scouts who weren't prepared! (Sounds a bit wrong like that)

stay comfy warm in the car

Whatever is required to keep me warm dry and alive, depending on the terrain and the weather.

Anyone who goes out badly prepared is asking for trouble and not only risks their safety but also that of the rescue teams that have to be called out to find/rescue them

Flip flops and shorts, and in the winter warm heaters

waterrover · « **Reply #6 on:** August 17, 2007, 00:24:37 »

My usual attire is Boots, Camo's and some random t-shirt found on my bedroom floor.

Jeans and a shirt so I'm comfy, if I risk getting wet I take a change of cloths, and a coat.

Take wellies but never think to wear them, camo chaps for wading through brambles and gloves.

For heaven's sake take gloves.

You need items that breathe, you can never put a cost on your comfort and safety in the great outdoors.
Just my 2pth.

Ahem Motorcyclists in short & t spring to mind.

hear hear though. Normally when mucking about in mud its jeans and whatever I need to keep warm but always my steeltoed CAT boots as a rule. Sometime hi-vis esp on pay and play sites where the pace is sometimes a little more furious.

Is this a bit extreme for off-roading then?

waterrover · « **Reply #21 on:** August 18, 2007, 22:50:29 »

Nice pointy helmet!

My serf did it for me. It tends to chafe somewhat. The chain mail that is, not the serf.
Unfortunatly my helmet (fnar fnar) somewhat restricts vision, due to the small slots cut in it(guffaw), and I have to keep twisting it round to be able see what I'm doing without bringing tears to my eyes. :shock:

Biodiesel-Bev · « **Reply #27 on:** August 19, 2007, 19:57:03 »

Did you get your serf to buff your metal for you too?
It's very shiny. And the brown leather belt sets the whle outfit off perfectly! :lol:

dazliss · « **Reply #28 on:** August 19, 2007, 20:02:55 »

For a pay & play then its usually Jeans and a T, which usual end up plastered in mud, especially when I have to go scrambling under the car to find the recovery point (know what I mean SS..lol) But in the boot I always carry Fleece, Technical coat and craghopper trousers just in case. Coming from a camping/ scouting back ground the old motto rings true, Be prepared!!!!

Discohugh · « **Reply #29 on:** August 19, 2007, 23:32:12 »

I wear Craghopper Kiwi trousers (as they dry very quick),Berghaus goretex boots(very dry/comfy),tshirt and Berghaus goretex jacket if needed.
