Let us know how you like that all. A review (can be short) would be great.

Especially in case you like the Maxden rainwear: where did you order it, how did the shipping go and what did they charge, etc.
The Maxden rainsuits are great, I had one before and regretted selling it almost immediately. They were ordered from Pienaar Bros. in Cape Town, they don't have them listed on their website but I had heard they sold them so I emailed and right enough, they do sell them. The store is really easy to deal with, I was quoted ZAR1,318 (GBP£72) for 2 suits, one orange and one green, you'll need to pay by bank transfer and arrange your own courier to collect, I did this through Parcel Monkey and was GBP£46 to ship to the UK, plus another GBP£23 in import taxes, it's a lot to pay for 2 PVC rainsuits, but if you want Maxden, it's the only way I found to get them.

During self isolation last weekend I wore a Azure blue k-way over head cagoule with navy Peter storm waterproof trousers and hunter wellies .I was naked underneath and it felt amazing. For the extra thrill I also wore a surgical mask !!
