Anything that covers my bum(i'm a bloke btw) is good for me

Mine just died

The new stuff is smarter but not really pratical,well,for me anyway.

My missus threw my old one away

I do like the new stuff they are smarter,the summer one is ok,it's the Fleece one that's effing useless.
I freeze me nuts off.
They should redesign the old thermal one to fit in with the uniform style we've got now.
Also who the f**k are these arseholes that trial the new stuff ffs,there's so many design faults in what we get.
And don't get me started on the 25kg impossible to work in,could land a plane with the high vis patches,sweat your nuts off waterproof kack ones we've got.

I've still got one of the waistcoat/bodywarmer things. Ideal, but why no jumpers anymore. The light rain tracksuit tops are better for the rain than them huge orange coats.

When i 1st started in the job,there were all these guys going around wearing the tank tops

I couldn't wear it for a while

the last one i wore before RM was a Pringle one in the 80's

Got used to it though and tbh i miss 'em.

Still got my thermal coat, brilliant, wear it every day, best coat ever. My first coat was the old donkey jacket, kept you warm, but was like a lead weight when it got wet.

I think that they should give us the coats that the guvnors wear, they look very warm
