Highly recommend a flying suit (such as for paragliding / hang-gliding). They are not fully waterproof, but windproof, breathable and lined. More comfortable and not sweaty like a drysuit, plus lots of pockets, much easier to put on & you can open zips etc when you get too hot (or need a pee :rolleyes: ).

 

Normal wheel spray doesn't soak through, so perfectly practical for beach use ! Usually some for grabs on ebay, cheaper than dry-suits and no expensive rubber seals to replace :D .

What do people recommend as a practical one-peice coverall for buggying on a wet beach?

I must say there's nothing to beat a dry suit, yes they do have a sweat problem but thats generally wicked off if you wear a fleese underneath. I got a cheap 'seconds' one a while ago and have never looked back. Although the proofing does wear away around the crotch/harness area and untill you get around to re-sealing it again it can be a bit damp :eek: If I ever get a spare 2-300 quid I'll invest in a good quality one.

Ive been through various one piece suits but they all have their faults as they never seal fully. I've found the most waterproof ones then fail with age, likely due to the UV affecting the material.
