What waterproof Jacket? - Talk Angling fishing chat and tackle advice

CARP YODA · 16th February 2008, 09:03 AM

Its that time again to replace my fishing jacket as old one is a bit worn. Had the Drennan Drench wear, and was excellent in extreme wet weather, (even took it snowboarding). I have heard of various expensive suits, but some of which, people have been disappointed with. Money not a factor, staying dry and warm is. Anyone got any views?

These are pretty good Protak UK - Angling Clothing, Waterproof Clothes and Fishing Accessories

If money is no object take a look at the daiwa tournament gear.

if its a winter suit you want the preston dri-fish celcius is about 110 quid for jacket and bib and brace. this is a seriously hot piece of kit. 100% waterproof as well. Not as lightweight as the gortex jobs but less than half the price.
