Wanted: Oversuit for 12yo - 5ft 6in

[CrocJon]

Ideally 'used' to save on pennies. Happy to have a bit of growing room! He is an athletic body shape. Am based near Mendip.

If nothing used about, I may consider new, any recommendations on good budget options nowadays (I have been away from the scene for a while)?

For 2nd hand, you could try one of the outdoor centres or instructors, they usually replace kit before it's completely ruined, so you get a good bit of use for a cheap price.

For new, Warmbac in Glastonbury make (the best) caving suits. If you've only got one child, who is still growing, buying new is probably not good value though. I've bought a few new kids size suits, but I've got four kids who like caving, so they get handed down and the price is easier to justify.

I've a nearly-new Warmbac spare which I could really do with de-cluttering. Its a bit short on me (5'11') but quite ample and roomy fit for someone of average build (like me)

Looking for £60 + P+P happy to send by tracked parcel (I'm in DL3)

will post further details if interested

Good tip, thank you, I will try a local one.

Do you know what size Warmbac it is? I think I might be interested, even if it is a 'grow into' option.
