Hello,

Does anyone know of any sources of cheap, or reasonably priced, underground equipment? I'm looking for a new helmet, knee pads and possibly jacket or oversuit. I'm a student so the lower the price the better!

Cheers!

No underground gear is "cheap" new as far as I'm aware. :confused:

I get most of my new gear from Inglesport
http://www.inglesport.co.uk  
although it's not exactly cheap, they tend to do you a discount if you're buying a lot...

The other place worth looking is ebay, in the climbing/ mountaineering- caving/ potholing

I've mannaged to pick up some really good deals on 2nd hand gear (though I wouldn't buy 2nd hand srt gear)

The distance between stupidity and genius is measured only by success.

I've used Caving Supplies a bit, prices are reasonable, and I've always had first class service from them.

Amazingly bombproof camo waterproof overalls at your local military surplus place. Everything from a good strong overall to the ultimate radiation/chemical suit.....

I'm a big fan of surplus

You should also check out Bernies in Ingleton - its worth checking Inglesport next door and see who will give the best deal.They both have cafe's so it can be a pleasant afternoon.

I used to reccommend caving Supplies everytime but they are closed on Sundays which is unhelpful if you have made a trip to Derbyshire. You are unlikely to get a discount but advice is always very sound.

Aldi, Lidell, car boot, building site. Plenty of good helmets on the latter 😉

I had a look at the site it says stuff is only available to order - nothing wrong with that but I like to try, feel and have advice.

In fact reading your email - Beaver products sold by Bernies are probably going to be best value.
