Oregon waipoua chainsaw pants?

[Wintermute]

Was looking around for a set of nice full coverage chainsaw pants that would breath well but also be waterproof and came across the Oregon Waipoua type c's. Wondering two things:
1) Anyone have any experience with them, and if so, what do you think of them?
2) I can only seem to find them for sale on UK sites...anyone know if any suppliers sell them in the US?

Breathable and waterproof does not exist unfortunately. If your first wish is to be comfortable & somewhat dry. Wool under tin pants will excell...

I just wear coated nylon rainpants over regular saw pants. Yes I sweat, but I sweat most of the time in sawpants anyway. And sawpant damp with sweat are a lot more comfortable that those that are soaked from the rain.
