    Friend was hired to drive the tugs that load/unload luggage and the big airplane containers at the airport.
    Any suggestions for raingear?
    She needs both summer and winter.
    Carhart seems to be good
    LL Beam seems like it would rip too easily if brushed against an aluminum container or cart that has dings or burrs.
    Walmart has hunting stuff that would pbly work but she hates camo.
    Thanks

    Frog Toggs are nice, but not sure how long they'd last with the wear and tear of that job.
    Thanks. Will tell her to check them out anyway.

    Harley Davidson hands down. That's what I have. Pants and jacket. Very light weight and very sturdy. Made to fit comfortable over your clothes.

    Those look good Skate......I would highly recommend the Water Shed brand of Gore Tex raingear.....I got mine through Gemplers (also have website).......it breathes......they have bibs rather than just pants.....hood or no hood......and you can wash them just like jeans. Great stuff.

    I grew up in an Alaskan commercial fishing family, so Helly Hansen was the standard-incredibly tough, but not too good in warm weather. I just looked on their website-a lot more variety than there was 40 years ago-looks like something for all temperatures.

    I have used Frog Toggs - they are tough enough but do not breath well in the summer heat - would make an excellent spring fall jacket -
