Waterproof Mudskippers pounds 29.99 plus postage and packing.

A Danish fishing invention provided the inspiration for this piece of children's armour - designed for kids with an appetite for mess. For extensive off-road exploration wellies just don't let you get right up to your elbows in filth and are easily sucked of in mid-wade by mud with an appetite for small feet. These brightly coloured salopettes are moulded directly on to tough rubber boots to provide full protective entertainment. They have reflective safety strips for evening missions and adjustable straps.
