I've got a few jackets and smocks for the winter, a Dickies Camouflage smock, and a Hoggs of Fife jacket. The Hoggs Culloden is the current equivalent, not cheap, probably around £130 and they do matching overtrousers. As good as fishing clothing is, I've had a preference for shooting/country clothing or army surplus style. I should add an edit, my Hoggs jacket, despite being worn for fishing is still in good enough condition to wear out for normal walking.

Interested to read this. Got 3 sleeping bags and 2 coats in the Snugpak range and they are the best in my opinion. If this waterproof coat keeps you as dry as their coats keep you warm then it's a winner.

Fingers crossed for you 🤞 take care.

For floater fishing and stalking I definitely can't see any need for a 50mm butt ring, even 40mm is too big. I wish someone did a 30 or 25mm butt ring, now that would be nice. My mate Bruce did have a Century stalking rod that he got from the Solar rep years ago, I think that had a 30mm. I do know it was perfect. Might have to start looking at spinning rods again...

I know what you mean …but Im on the 40mm side of the fence lol… got a set of 3lb with 40mm also……looking over my shoulder and it’s all clear… got a set of 3.50lb with the big 50mm ring which after a couple of years I still don’t see the reason for the size.

Have you had a look at the snugpak range ? they now do a thermal waterproof jacket admittedly it’s a bit on the expensive side though
