Right then, If I could have found the thread I started on this I would have updated so plz bear with me,

 

The snowbee "breathable" wading jacket to go with the neo chesties is being returned due the fact it cant breath, and is like wearing a Tesco plastic bag even when out walking the dog you get a right old sweat on

 

I have around £100 to spend so anyone who has positive feedback on the jacket they have plz post, to be honest snowbee have been very good, the jacket is well made apart from the hand warmer pockets being made for yellow girl size, and the fact that it not only makes you sweat it keeps it in :whistling:

 

size is great and length, sits just above my waist (which is just below my chin :good: ) so kneeling in mud you dont ruck the back up with yer boots

 

cheers

Pav you old chubs you. :look: If you dress up in neo's you are gonna perspire. Don't blame the top heat rises. Vision Extreme "leakables" are perfect, they drip leak no sudden rushes of cold water though. Miles superior to neo, providing you wear a wicker layer, tights and a few other bits of lady gear :lol:. The Simms and Pategonia wading Jackets are very good if you have a mountain of cash or can get a mate over the pond to "import" you one as a birthday present for a ton or so.

 

I was going to recommend the one I bought 10+ yrs ago,however I will let you decide when you see the price :whistling:

I fished and shot with it and it`s NEVER leaked :look:

 

For the spec and price.... http://www.slioch.co.uk/garments/12_c.html

 

**EDIT**I think I paid £90 back then ;)

 

 

Sweet jacket that. Gortex is good, a bit bright would be better with some dickabor **** on it! :good:

Hd what are you deformed to get into something like that? Never leaked maybe not but I bet you get wet from the neck down and the waist up :look:

 

Whitebridges... pavman in ladies gear oh yes he'll be well at home, his ideal treat :look: don't think he'll go for the Vision Extreme though at £185 ;)

Pavman, read Whitebridges reply. High wicking clothing helps without a doubt mate but be prepared to pay, which you wont, so I am wasting my time :D

LB

 

LB I should have added it also traps the sweat without neo's took the dog out for a walk in jeans t shirt and the jacket and hey guess what, shower time inside with sun shine outside, if thats breathing best not hold mine, its been sent back for a re fund, so as soon as i find another the better,

 

you guys are no help on this one, go slap yourself whilst i put me tights on, no sense in missing out on some fun :drool:

Pav,

 

I use a ProLogic wading jacket, very good indeed. :D

 

Come in at under £100. :drool:

 

Here's the spec,

 

 

- Poly Urethane lamination, 100% waterproof with MVT800g/m2/24hours breathability

- Fully insulated, warm 360g/yd weight, polyester spun, anti piling, poly fleece

- 8 pockets, 2 inside, 2 fleece lined, 2 zip waterproof, 2 velcro sealing

Cheers,

PS,

A good set of marino wool baselayers wick the sweat away, I have a set of Helly Hansen, best money I ever spent.

Well done Robbo, at last some sense, is this the one??? I do a lot of wading in the mud and water up to my waist (which is about up to hem on Highlanders skirt) if you kneel down is it short enough so you dont ruck mud up the back
