Default water proofs

In the market for some new water proofs. Whats the best out there for actually keeping you dry. I have had a few sets that keep you dry for an hour, then leak like the preverbial seive. Dont have to be camo, but a drab colour would be good. Looking for trousers and coat.

Thanks in advance

I use the Greys GRXi coat & trousers for my boat fishing and haven't had a problem with them (yet).
I've been hearing some good things about the Airflo Hydrotec range as well.

Hi Sarg, Check the review on the tackle forum for Hydrotec. Admittedly mine are relatively new but we have had some real rain thrashers here in the last few weeks. No doubting this clothing so far. Comfortable and dry, that's all we ever want??

Getting the Trousers for Xmas, so as long as they work as good as the Jackets, then I'll be chuffed.

Best regards

Stuart

Cabela's: Search Results
You can't go wrong, i have had my jacket for 3 years and it still keeps me dry, even with import duties they are still worth it.
Cheers

These are great and at a good price too.
