Waterproof suit tip
« on: June 10, 2011, 12:15:18 »
Viz top tip: to stop boots snagging on lining of rainsuit, slip a carrier bag on over your boot first - it goes in dead easy, and you can then go shopping with peace of mind!

Good tip to stop your winter troos riding up your legs is to undo one of the lower attachment loops from the inner liner.  Push the liner inside the boot and close the boot.  The waterproof bit then stays outside and in place.

Works best with tall touring boots like my Altbergs.

I have actually cut the lining out of my 2 piece rain suit, have no more issues putting it on or taking it off.
