There is a brand called XM who do fantastic foulies for about half the price you'd expect!

When I got mine I was so shocked by the price difference that I asked the guy selling it what was going on. Basically there is a factory in China that makes all the oilies. At the end of the year all the posh brands change colours for the new season. XM go out to the factory & buy the unsold kit and put their logo on it.

So, according to him you are getting 'genuine' Mosto / HL kit for nearly half price.

I had offshore ocean salopettes and jacket that I wore for about 2000 miles. They were brilliant (especially the kevlar seat on the salopettes) and cost under £200 all in.
