Waterproof overpants

I’ve been using Frogg Toggs for a while but they tear up pretty quick and don’t stretch.

I have to wear some sort of overpants as I can’t show up to a window cleaning job all nasty from the PW I just did. Any suggestions are welcomed.

On a side note I was considering some lightweight bib overalls in white like the fish processors use.

Brock, why are you getting so dirty?! Most jobs you can’t even tell I was spraying water lol. I have some full-rubber biberalls that cost me $40 on Amazon, I use them for gold prospecting sometimes. Happy to send the link. Comfy in the cold, but I couldn’t imagine wearing them in the summer heat

Oh, it’s mud monster time when I have to edge a sidewalk or patio and all that junk splashes on my legs. I come home and feel grit in my hair.

I have several different ones because of all the commercial concrete I do. This one has become my favorite, especially when it’s warm outside. Lightweight, durable, wide leg openings to get foot thru w/o taking off shoes.

Hey Jake, where are you gold panning? I’ve been going up to around Lineville, Alabama for a few years now.

@dcbrock Get a pair of carhart rain pants or what racer linked and put them on before doing paver work or similar and take them off when done.

How dark’s the tint on that minivan of yours? I’d just bring a change of pants, socks, etc and change in the van. But I really hate wearing excess bulk.

Place out near Marion, NC. How far is Lineville from Birmingham? I’m moving down that way this summer, but I didn’t think I’d still get to find gold!

Just bought these pants they seem solid. Didn’t buy the jacket yet.

I ordered the lightweight Carhartt overalls, thanks for all the suggestions!

About 1 1/2 hours away. Look up Alabama Gold Camp. That’s where I have been going for years. We finally bought some land on a creek, so we had a place to stay, and prospect on our own land lol no luck so far. The camp is actually in Cragford, Al. I believe.

Why not just offer to stick edge the driveway for extra $? I ask my clients to have it done before I show up but offer it as an up sell in needed.

It’s not the driveway that is the problem, usually the steps and walkways.

Tall gaiters that cover your knees down to your shoes. Try REI or Amazon.
