still cannot find any waterproof trousers and jackets...

we are based in middlesex and have called sportsworld to see if they have any and they dont. i wanted to be able to go walking (obviously if not too expensive to buy too) some waterproofs - both trousers and jackets - for all the family (3 years of age to a woman and a man). anyone have any idea where we can get any - ideally not too pricey either down this way of the world. thanks in advance.

    We got jackets and trousers in drawstring pouches. They`re in farmers shops where they sell horse feed and the like

    like countrywide. We use ours a lot and they pack pretty small

    Hubby bought a lightweight waterproof jacket from Sportworld last weekend, and got a smaller one for one of the children. Probably better going into Sportworld and having a good look.

    I bought some off Ebay last year, from what I can remember there were lots to choose from on there and they were new not used.
