Spiderdude Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I just thought I would post a quick mention for the ProLogic Max 4 Thermo Armour Pro Jacket. I bought one of these from Go Outdoors the other day for £79.99 in the sale. It is without doubt the warmest jacket I have ever worn. I went out before first light on Saturday and by the time I had set up I was sweating like, well something that sweats a lot. The outside temp was only 4 degrees, but it didn't bother me in the slightest. So just to say, if you are looking at these jackets and at the price Go Outdoors are offering them, then they are a steal. I'll be looking at getting the matching trousers now!

Grandalf Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Care needed with these jackets. I purchased one at a show. Super jacket and as warm as toast. In its second season it leaked like a sieve - everywhere. Always wondered if I bought a ringer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant wear the fleece with it as its too warm . apart from that they are a good jacket but take a lot of looking after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 my wife has washed my prologic jacket more than once in the last few months and it is still water proof, no problems with it at all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Turned out she was able to wash it inside and out at the same time - and me)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also spray on products available that will waterproof many garments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esox Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I used this jacket for a winters pike fishing and to be honest i wasnt that impressed the jacket on its own wasnt that warm, put the fleece into it and it was very warm and heavy problem being if you had a bit of a walk you sweated like a pig, also the jacket leaked a few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderdude Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 What I am struggling with reading these posts is; if your jacket failed why didn't you contact manufacturer or retailer regarding the problem. Even after a year I would be lodging a complaint. I had a similar issue with a Hein Gericke jacket on my motorbike, I complained after owning it for 18 months and it was replaced with brand new. I just hope mine doesn't leak, if it does it'll be off back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I got the bib and brace, don't wear it on the marsh cos i prefer chesties, tried it while lamping and found it to warm but for fishing or sitting over a bait it's excellent. Mine has not leaked yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
