If you want to cut a dash on the riverbank or towpath, then Portak's colourful clothing system is right up your street, The bright blue and red colours are distinctive enough to set you apart from the crowd, without making you look a total Herbert (my apologies to any Herberts reading this).
Protak clothing is now being marketed by Invader Boats, who sent this sample of there bib & brace and 3/4 length full-lined jacket for testing.
Taking the jacket first, this has taped seams throughout making it waterproof and totally comfortable.
There are two sensible side pockets with special storm flaps to stop any water seeping into them.
A lightweight hood is also provided and zips onto the collar.
The bib & brace has a side zip and a front vent with velcro fastening for those pressing occasions when nature calls. The legs have long side zips to accommodate moon boots or even waders worn inside the nylon legs.
The bib & brace comes with another snappy idea, a removeable bait pouch which simply zips on or off. The bib & brace is lined from the top down to the knee, all seams are taped as standard, in short they keep you warm, dry and clean
Now the best bit, the prices are so low you will struggle to find anthing similar selling much cheaper.
The 3/4 jacket sells for £56.49 and the bib & brace for £38.99. Postage and packing per item costs £3.50.
Sizes are Extra Small to XXXX-Large. They are available at good tackle shops or direct on 01625 590140
