Are guy cottens still the go to for hard-wearing waterproofs?

Posted by Ben Pritchard on October 22, 2017 at 8:46am in Clothing
About 16 years ago, all the full time agri guys I knew in Cornwall swore by guy cottens http://www.guycotten.co.uk , is this still the case? What are the options? It's about £200 for bib and brace and coat that should last 3 years hard at it.
