I got it from a surplus stall for £5 3 years ago. A fiver well spent.

good price! My (rather rotund) husband bought one online after a wet festie last year but it wasn't so cheap.

now where did i put it ..............................

he decided not to take it to cornwall in march (not camping!) and it pi**ed down!  It would have been just right for keeping his camera bag dry, so this time i will definitely pack it!

Decathlon sell a good range of waterproof clothing at reasonable prices.

That one is rubberised which is probably why it cost more. Mine is camoflage and made out of some sort of nylon (hence the small pack size)

i wondered how yours went into a small pack size and that accounts for it. The german army one was recommended by a mate who goes to glastonbury and i fell for the idea that you could make it into a basha tent thingy ....  although when we would be likely to do that i have no idea!

My Husband likes his but the rip-stop nylon version (i found that out gooogling) is probably more practical and i see you can get them on ebay for a fiver. Plus quilted linings!

i got a heavy duty plastic poncho from wolkinsons for 2 squid yesterday for no better reason than i could :(

both our posh waterproof and breathable coats were 'half price' in a sale and both still cost well over 50quid. Nice though :)
