Orange gear
I volunteered for the 1st time this year. My 1st event was at Darley Moor and I got a pair of overalls, a waterproof jacket and trousers all for under £30. This was, of course, subsidized by the club, as I realized.
I also got an orange tabard at the TT as part of the signing on procedure. I'm sure this is subsidized as well, and I've seen people with "Dickies" and other advertising logos on their gear, which I guess is another way of reducing the cost to the marshals.
As for boots, my Mum and Dad bought me a really good pair when I was in my teens and, although they have seen some tough use over the years, they still fit and still do their job, so I can endorse the idea of buying the best that you can afford as it will probably last longer than cheaper gear and you will end up buying the better gear that you should have bought in the 1st place.
