Ventile/Canvas - at an OEC I worked at we used green ventile smocks. I was very dubious about them, especially as the kids went caving at Succoth then under the waterfall. So I tried one and was converted from my expensive gore tex. That was 1994.
It was waterproof under a waterfall etc. And I was on the website for the centre the other day and a recent gallery photo had the same OG tops !
Ventile trousers with a thin fleece lining would be great for winter walking/climbing. Harder wearing than gore tex or nylon soft shell ones.
I got a couple of heavy duty cotton shirts by Timberland the other day, both long sleeved, with chest pockets, hopefuly they'll me quite a while, at £20 each.
