pavman Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 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 size is great and length, sits just above my waist (which is just below my chin ) so kneeling in mud you dont ruck the back up with yer boots cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I was going to recommend the one I bought 10+ yrs ago,however I will let you decide when you see the price I fished and shot with it and it`s NEVER leaked For the spec and price.... http://www.slioch.co.uk/garments/12_c.html **EDIT**I think I paid £90 back then :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 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 . 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 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Pavman, I wouldn't pay that much cash for half a jacket, you could get a full length one for a lot less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 http://www.tackleshop.co.uk/ProductDetails...af-de3e5d231119 cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Pavman, I have one of those but in a full length jacket. You won't sweat in that one. I'd give it the thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
