If you’re working long hours in the milking parlour, handling slurry and washdowns, or dealing with wet and windy Irish weather, your waterproof workwear needs to be built for serious farm conditions.
Many standard overalls simply aren’t up to the job.
Irish dairy and sheep farmers need waterproofs that can handle just about everything. This means driving rain and changeable conditions, exposure to chemicals and slurry, and near constant movement throughout the day. Most overalls simply aren’t up to the task, which is why you need specialist workwear designed with dairy farmers in mind.
The Stormtex-Air 664G Waterproof Farming Bib Overalls are designed specifically for Irish dairy farmers and sheep farmers, combining durability, waterproof protection, and flexibility for long days on the farm.
Whether you’re milking twice a day or working outside during lambing season, these bib and brace overalls are built to keep you dry, comfortable and protected.
Lightweight Flexibility for Ease of Movement During Milking
Milking is highly physical work where you’re frequently bending, stretching, stepping and turning – often in very tight spaces. You simply can’t do this job in heavy, restrictive waterproofs.
The Stormtex-Air 664G is different because it’s built from lightweight stretch PVC, giving you the flexibility to move freely without feeling weighed down.
These best-selling overalls also feature:
- Elasticated waist for a secure fit tailored to the wearer
- Adjustable shoulder straps with industrial clips for quick changes
- Low-back design that reduces pressure during long sessions
High-Grade PVC for Resistance Against Fats, Oils and Cleaning Chemicals
Dairy farming isn’t just wet — it can be seriously messy.
On a typical day you may be splashed with milk fats, soaked during parlour washdowns, and exposed to harsh cleaning chemicals. These substances can quickly damage ordinary fabrics.
That’s why something more heavy-duty is essential.
Stormtex-Air 664G overalls are made from high-grade 320gsm PVC with an oil-resistant PU coating, designed to withstand the tough realities of farm work.
This means:
- Milk fats won’t soak in or degrade the material
- Cleaning chemicals won’t cause premature wear
- Water beads and runs off easily, keeping you dry
The result is longer-lasting gear, saving you time and money replacing worn-out waterproofs.
Double-Welded Seams for Maximum Durability
The seams are often the weakest point in waterproof garments. Once they fail, leaks follow — and that’s the last thing you need in a dairy parlour.
To prevent this, the Stormtex-Air 664G bib and brace overalls use double-welded seams instead of stitched seams.
This design:
- Eliminates tiny gaps where water can seep through
- Strengthens the garment against strain and abrasion
- Extends the lifespan compared to standard stitched overalls
The overalls also feature reinforced double-layer PVC on the thighs and knees, which are common high-wear areas. This additional reinforcement helps your waterproofs last longer while giving extra protection during demanding farm work.
Tried and Tested by Irish Farmers in the Field
Technical specifications are useful when choosing farming waterproofs, but real-world performance is what matters most.
Stormline gear has been extensively tested in real Irish farming conditions, and farmers regularly report excellent results.
For example, Glyn Egan (@sheep_shepherd_) from County Kerry says:
“I’m a sheep farmer working in all kinds of weather in South West Ireland. If you’re after any good strong waterproofs, especially for farming — bone dry.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Waterproof Farming Overalls
What are the best waterproof overalls for dairy farmers?
The best waterproof overalls for dairy farmers are those designed specifically for milking parlour conditions, with chemical resistance, flexible movement and strong waterproof seams. The Stormtex-Air 664G is widely used by Irish farmers because of its durability and comfort.
Are PVC waterproof overalls good for farming?
Yes. PVC waterproofs are ideal for farming because they resist water, slurry, oils and cleaning chemicals better than many fabrics. High-grade PVC also offers superior durability in wet agricultural environments.
Why do farming waterproofs need welded seams?
Welded seams prevent leaks. Stitched seams create small needle holes where water can enter. Welded seams seal the material together, making waterproof clothing more reliable in wet conditions.
