I live in the Northeast and right about now its easily in the thirties and I plan on detecting till the snow stops me or the ground freezes up but Im sick of wet cold knees! I was just wondering if there was something specific out there. Thanks-HH

We actually use "construction" knee pads. Keeps your knees dry and cushions them when kneeling. We bought gel ones at Harbor Freight for around $10 per pair. Added benefit, the pads keep your knees warm - a necessity in New England. Hope this helps.

Go to any hunting shop and look for winter work clothes, they do sell insulated zip up suits

I use army surplus wool pants and kneepads. Wool is warm wet or dry!

Use insulated running pants that are waterproof then a pair of work jeans overtop one with a hammer loop on the leg. I use this for my towel/dirt cloth in parks and pick in mountains and riverbeds. I live in north Utah and go out around 6 in the morning to detect When it's pretty cold frost on my windows and semi frozen ground. I Stay just the right temp until noon then gotta shed the hoody.

I don't know your budget, but if you have the money, Filsons are the way to go, the oil finish pants are waterproof, and last for years if you take care of them. Another good choice is Arbor wear but you'd need to waterproof them.

Or you can just get a good waterproofing oil and put it on a pair of Carhartts
