staying dry this winter? what gear?

hallo everyone

ive decided to start this post because im soon going to be travelling 20 miles each way to college 3 days a week, all through winter, and so want to keep 100% dry in the rain.

first off i started with a textile jacket, water went through that in heavy rain in around 15 minutes

then bought a 1 peice waterproof suit for £28.99, bargain i thought. lasted a few weeks and was waterproof in light rain but once tested in heavy rain leaked after 10 minutes.

as im doing plumbing on the kit list i needed waterproofs, so went to a local shop found and bought this-http://www.myworkwear.co.uk/product/Portwest-Sealtex-Jacket-Copenhagen--1291.htm# its like a rubber material with taped seams, 100% waterproof in any weather

back to my question though im looking for some waterproof boots and gloves, the gloves need to be 100% waterproof, ive had loads of proper motorbike gloves what basically arent even tho theyre supposed to be?

cheers all

for water proof boots i wear rockports but you could use wellys. and gloves i went thru 3 pairs to find waterproof ones i just use vynal gloves under them now lol

 

Do they have changing rooms + lockers at your collage? If so, bring a bunch of clothes to collage and keep them in your locker, so when you arrive all soaking wet you can change into dry clothes.

Thats what I do at work. And they wash my work clothes and keep them there for me. So Ive always got a dry set of work bottoms and T-shirts to change into when I arrive soaked head to toe.
