Fed up of getting soaked through, mainly on the top half! Small flexothane trousers are a bit long, and okay until I tear the bottoms. I'm stuck for my top half, I have a mans fluorescent work wear but its far too big, bulky and gets caught on hutch grills, fences, etc currently using a 11-12 years old mountain warehouse jacket. But today the rain got through my jacket, bodywsrmer, boiler suit, hoody and polo shirt 

Where sells water proof farm workwear for petite females built like 11 year old boys? Boilersuits are a nightmare also   
I have tried all my local agri merchants, ex army stores etc. Feeling a bit fed up getting drenched and becoming unwell!.

Hi,
Did your local agri merchant not have had a 'childrens' section?  All the farming offspring seem have boiler suits and waterproofs.

The waterproofs are poor quality, and not ideally suited for full days work out doors. Only jackets they had were similar to the regett shower proof one. A week old hungry impatient calf soon tore it. Local tractor dealer says they can order a Massey Ferguson women's jacket but its almost 50 quid

Hi,

What about having a look in charity shops?  Most of our girl's water proof jackets came from there. Much cheaper as well

I bought my grandchildren their boiler suits from Mole Valley Farmers, ten quid each. They do them from toddler size upward. You could try a motorcycle shop for tough, lightweight waterproofs.

i have always used Army Gortex… i know they do small sizes..have a look on ebay

I use a waterproof cycling jacket. I bought it new from an ebay shop a while back. It wasn't very expensive, about £19 I think. Its lightweight and completely waterproof and I like it because the back end is shaped longer.

We use Dickies kit, from Countrywide or Wynnstay, although I have to pin back the hood peak or it hangs over my eyes!  Dairy Spares are expensive but very good quality.

I got a dickies boilersuit for xmas and its the dogs b......ks ! Quilted body, waterproof, knee pads,loads of pockets for your knife,baling twine,torch, tissues, hood too. Tried it out when we had the wind and snow, was warm as toast only need your tshirt on underneath, instead of loads of layers restricting movement. Got it from local agri mechant. Dont know the price ? Worth a look on internet. If you do need to fork out for a decent  one will last you years

Look in horsey shops, my daughter has had some brilliant Toggi and Harry Hall jackets. Not overly expensive in children's section and really good quality.

Fishing shops esp sea fishing.  OH has really thick waterproof jacket and overtrousers.  They make them in navy and green as as the lurid safety yellow

We are living in Oringi waterproofs from Kiwikit.  It's tough stuff designed for farming in foul weather.  OH saw it at a show about 4 years ago and we don't use other stuff now.  You can repair little holes and tears.

Thanks, sadly most place only start boiler suits at a lady's ten.... I'm a six so nowhere near fitting and the kids ones well aren't built for women lol. Tried horsey shops for jackets (being an ex horsey person) and feel the emphasis there is more on look than practicality. I think I may have found a waterproof child's shooting jacket, fingers crossed

[Foobar]

+1 for Oringi waterproofs from Kiwikit.  You get what you pay for.  Dickies waterproofs are really rubbish after while.


You will struggle with small sizes.  Oringi go quite small, army cadet / surplus clothing also ... anywhere else and you will struggle unless they do kids sizes - but those vary from manufacturers, I tried Dickies kids and they didn't work for me at all.

Perfect buisness opertunity for someone to start selling petite women's farm clothes
