We get issued pulsar kit. I have the big winter coat and it's alright in most weather but in the real vilest stuff it gets a bit soggy. Also the quality isnt outstanding. The material is good but could do with triple stitched seams and high Vis banding let's go.
It 10x better than some of the stuff I've had and definitely grateful for the company spending the money on it but if I was out in it all day every day still, I would probably buy another harkie.
My innovation 2 smock lasted 3 years without letting a drop of water in and even then it only started below the elbows where I presume the waterproofing got rubbed off.
I think it was about 5 years old when I got given the first pulsar so got rid of it.

I've got the Harkie smock but all day in rain and it does get wet inside although not soaking.
Just seen milwaukee do a heated base layer 90.00 but would think that would be better than jacket etc as its next to your body

Was thinking the same. But I guess if you work on a north sea oil rig they'd be pretty nice

Merino wool socks are a life essential cool in summer and warm in winter. Costco 4 pairs for 15 quid are really hard to beat.
