Default Which Wading Jacket

Hi All


I am looking at buying a new wading jacket and was looking for some advise on the best on the market between the price range of £60 to £100 ? I have been looking at the Airflo Streamtec and the Scierra Aquatex Pro can anybody tell me their thoughts on these in terms value for money ?

Sounds obvious but whatever you end up buying - try on first comfort is all.

Thanks everyone for your posts.

I am now tied between the Stillwater Tay and the Scierra Aquatex Pro wading jacket ? I hate to bang on about this but can anybody give me some information that will make up my mind ? I am probably leaning more towards the Scierra Aquatex is there much diffference in these two jackets or is one as good as the other ?

Thanks

Paul

Both good jackets. However the excellent "snag free" cuffs on the Scierra would swing it for me every time. Imo it's one of the most important features of a jacket and the Scierra cuffs are the best I've seen anywhere to date.

That is an important point.
I have have a few good quality wading jackets,most are of a similar quality as far as keeping you dry, however, the best have neoprene cuffs to stop the water running up your arm when casting in the rain or when you return that large salmon
