Cheap & Durable UL rain/wind/vapor barrier suit

Interesting. How do you think the chemical suit will hold up to wear and tear on the trail?

It appears to be basically a material like Tyvek with a smooth exterior coating, so I’m thinking it will wear like my previous one in terms of the number of times it can put on and taken off, miles walked, etc. but because it is smoother it will be less likely to snag on bushes and branches when bushwacking. We’ll see. I’ll update this thread as I use it.

I’m very surprised that the previous one has lasted 6 years. It could could go longer. It’s still functional but starting to look seedy. But at $14, even if it lasts only one year and I buy a new one every year it would take 29 years to spend $410 and I seriously doubt the more expensive gear would last that long.

I’ve had Dri Duck lightweight rain jacket and pants for many years. Just looked online and it looks like they don’t make the exact kind I have anymore, but this coverall is less expensive, lighter, more durable, more waterproof.

I cut off the pants to use for a project and kept the top half of some tyvek coveralls to use as an emergency jacket in my day pack.

I’m surprised you could find these at the hardware store because isn’t this sort of like PPE?

They are so inexpensive they can be experimented with and used for many purposes. I keep a Tyvek coverall in my “bug out” bag for emergency situations also.

Speaking of emergencies, possible use of coveralls like this as PPE may explain why there was only size XXL remaining at the hardware store!
