Hi Guys,

looking for any recommendations on quality bib and brace ,light, breathable and waterproof for the spring /summer months.........?

It seems like we have very wet but mild spring and summers and my normal b & b's are just too warm - great for winter / Autumn.

On my last 3 outings the rain has been very bad and need something to keep me dry on the outside as well as the inside (breathable) when fishing the banks.

Thanks in advance,

D.

I gave up on the bib and brace style / chest waders ect!
I now use snowbee geo over trousers which are watreproof and very lightweight and also dry out very quickly. Great piece of kit
Snowbee Geo Over Trousers - Sportfish
On the top half i use an orvis lightweigt packable jacket which fits in my boat box if not in use and takes up very little room, again ultra waterproof and top piece of kit.
Men's Waterproof Jacket / Waterproof Stretch Over/Under Jacket -- Orvis UK

Go and have a look round outdoor/camping type shops,much cheaper than paying the stupid prices that fishing outlets charge

Thanks for the replies guys,

will have a look at both options

Cheers,

Any jacket in a an outdoor shop under £100 is likely to be mince also , you get what you be for in quality items

MRS SKB has bought me a spiffing set of Greys B&B's from Grommit - tough as old boots he reckons which is good as I use mine for bank and boat for trout and boat for the salt too.

I needed them to be very breathable as I sweat like a cold beer in the sun but also need them to be waterproof too.


Grommit has some v good deals on these.

Otherwise, check out a local TK-Max for waterproof over troosers.

But they will unlikely be breathable.

My new website,still lots of work to do on it..!![URL="http://www.flyandlures.com/"]http://www.flyandlures.com/[/URL]

I had searched high and low for this product (b & b's, light and breathable for summer) and all the top brands are geared towards winter.

Thanks for the heads up on Grommit Ben

My Orvis breathable chesties do the job nicely when in or out of the river in summer conditions and very cool when walking any distances.

Will keep looking in the meanwhile,

cheers
