I was on the lookout for some saloppettes or bibs that would offer good thermal insulation and be safe around the fire. A lot of the dedicated ski wear is waterproofed and would not promote heat loss when working and is also usually light weight material. so i had a look round on ebay. I spied some ECW aircrew nomex bibs and pushed the button at £64 plus delivery. Escaped customs charges too which was nice
Just arrived early this morning and have to say they are superb. Have the feel of cotton with great padding. Plenty of pockets and double zip front, full drop seat for ease of.....well you know. Leg and side body zip vents too.
Should be just the ticket for my next trip to the cold. A little snug round the midriff but im down 1.5 stone already and expect to shift another 2.5 before next feb so should be adequate room for layers
excuse the bed hair it was early lol
