I am a Home Inspector, and one of the places I get to inspect is Crawl Spaces. Some are nice, warm and tall, but most are ugly, very tight, wet and likely contaminated with who knows what...
The Issue I want some help with is CLOTHING.
I USED to be able to get tyvek suits in tall sizes, but not any more. I am 6'1" and a thin 230#'s. If I get a suit that is tall enough, I end up with a lot of extra material around the middle and the seat that catches on things. So I tried a RedKap heavy cotton duck large/tall set of coveralls. They fit, but are restrictive, and seem anything BUT water resistant.
I looked into Rescue extrication gear suits, but they are Nomex and start at $450. I don't need Nomex and that seems excessive.
My Question to this group, is where can I get a good coverall suit that is water resistant, washable, available in long/tall and suitable for someone crawling around in dirt, mud, filth, sharps and pointy things, lots of snags, and VERY tight spaces (that's why I am posting here) Some suits I saw had reinforced knees and elbows, that would be nice as I currently have to strap on elbow and knee pads over my suit. Disposable suits would be nice, as crawl spaces can be contaminated with a variety of interesting things, and washing those in with my laundry doesn't appeal to my wife, but...disposables don't offer as much protection.... Protection wins...
http://www.krawlgear.com/ is a neat site for elbow pads, knee pads and their crawl kart....but they don't have good suits...
Ideas ???
