what brand wet gear do you use the €30 portwest wet pants keep tearing on me ,I’m going through 1 every 2 months
 
Portwest here and the present jacket and trousers must be 3 or 4 years old now. I've worn then about the same amount of times so there plenty good for me.

Ya portwest probably have different ranges I don’t know how I’m flying through the,
 
I see the spring calving lads all singing the praises of some NZ kit. Pair of leggings at £110 put me off a bit! Or are they worth it?

We usually have the Flexothane trousers. In them every day over winter, might go through two pairs a year. Mainly over winter though.

I am on my 3 rd Guy Cotten milking apron . Get 2 years out of them . I saw them at the ploughing first , and bought one .

I bought the current apron online , and bought a wet suit from them at the same time. I have only worn it a handful of times yet , but very happy with its ability to keep out rain.
It has a drawstring on the hood , which works very well . It's a bit stiff , if you know what I mean . And no pockets , or way into your trouser pockets are the 2 slight downsides.
I would definitely buy them again , as I have done with the apron.
I had religiously bought Flexothane for years , but found them poor lately.
I would take Portwest in preference to Flexothane.

Mine are the same as @jf 850 photo (just a smaller size!!! ). Last pair lasted over a year and only changed as got damaged walking through briars. Find they don’t seem to perish like the flexotane ones
