Nice, apt wordplay OB1.

Without wanting to dredge through all 29 pages here, and having already read the fra official document, can someone confirm whether I need taped seams on my waterproof trousers as well as my hooded jacket? (and yes, I do find this bleeding stupid for the long tour of bradwell if it's baking hot - and I can't afford lightweight taped waterproofs or fit my heavyweight ones in my running bag, so see this as a needless penalty on those who don't have 250ish to blow on pointless kit)
Yes.
And you can buy waterproof, taped seams trousers for about £15 or so on the internet: "mac in a sac" (?)
I am truly shocked the state doesn't provide benefits for people who can't afford expensive state of the art lightweight running kit. What sort of welfare state is this??
Graham,
Thanks for your reply. I was unaware cheap options came with taped seams. Very helpful. I will assume those jackets would do as well, if not for the SLMM.
Dj, I'm not on benefits, I'm a tax payer, underemployed for a good reason and doing something about it. However, if your comment is meant as a passive-aggressive attack on the 'welfare state', implicitly allied with the lies spewed by corporate and government media outlets who claim that the over-entitled end of society is the end being crapped on, not the private school and oxbridge grads who follow daddy's wealth to nearly inevitable high stools from which to crap, then I find it abhorrent. But I'll assume it was just a friendly jibe at my ignorance as to the availability of low-cost taped-seam waterproofs.
P.s. The fra rules are still ridiculously over-prescriptive, create unnecessary issues with access to the sport and are likely to force, in my case, the use of a credit card.
I got a couple of cheap pairs from Aldi for £5, I often carry them as spares for clients. I have also used them and they are pretty good. Not breathable and to be fair I would only use them in an emergency....but that's what they are there for.
