I use pulsar and it’s good stuff,

Best I’ve ever used is the castle air reflex. Genuinely breathable, I’m dry when I take it off. Have a one piece and love it

Tha's cheap are those lined though ? I like the look of the coat too ... mine's a bomber style, but the B&Bs are high front and backs IIRC .. will have a look see which ones they are in a minute

We get issued bomber jackets as standard but as said I'm tall and the water runs down the back and straight down my arse crack hence buying my own waterproof gear
Soon get the money back from being able to carry on working when everyone else disappears at lunch

I always get cold kidneys from bomber jackets where they ride up and take all the other layers with them.

It's definitely Ludvika trousers that I have and they have a thin lining.
Tbh I have a unlined jacket that I just keep my fleece on underneath and its warm enough and not bulky when it's raining in the summer

I've always found the same I try and wear bib and brace overalls in the winter and have found a supplier of extra long flannel shirts
Since wearing these with a long waterproof over the top I haven't been cold
I find it funny the blokes that complain like hell about being wet cold uncomfortable but won't spend any money to look after themselves
Regular occurrence to watch them complain that the 50 quid superdry hoodie isn't keeping them warm as they put the hood up and it gets soaked but won't spend less on a separate jumper and hat as it's work clothes
