These have been out awhile now just looking for genuine user feedback on how you rate them and think they perform. 👍

I've had the jacket a few weeks now and have been really impressed. I've actually worn it more out and about day to day than I have on the bank. But either way, I like it. Really comfy to wear and as already stated, not something you sweat in even if just wearing a t-shirt underneath. Some waterproof jackets can be a bit clingy when worn like that, in my opinion anyway.

i was looking at this until i asked lorda for the material specs and was told all they could tell mr was that it was waterproof to 15000 but had no other material specs! obviously not developed and researched that much despite their claims.

Got both as back up water proofs . . .so comfy they're now a mainstay and I'm a fully fledged Korda clone . . !
These genuinely are rather good for Carp taxed gear, primarily based on weight, comfort, stretch and water resistance . .

True, but if you have a 'customer services' email address then you would expect them to find somebody who could answer

What are they like size wise? I'm not particularly big 36” chest and fit small to medium. Some fishing clothes are huge in the medium, what are these like?

I've got both the jacket and trousers in a medium, Jacket fits fine as you say with a hoodie etc
I've tried the trousers with thermals and joggers underneath and they still fit fine
I think because if the material they just stretch to size

Very impressed with mine

. . .both jacket and trousers eer on a slimmer / more athletic fit but not silly slim . . .as mentioned because the stretch is good you don't notice this as much esp on trousers. I'm 6'1" and 36-38 waist Reg 32 leg and have XL trousers and they are bang on . . .

I'm probably about the same size, there and there abouts. I found a medium perfect for me. The right size to wear and it be comfortable either wearing just a t-shirt but equally, okay with a lightweight fleece for when it gets a bit colder.

Does anyone know how many layers the fabric is on these 2 layer or 3 layer ?. In the market for a decent set of waterproofs and not sure can justify the extra for the Fortis.

The new fox aquos 3L looks decent too but the breathability is quite low on comparison to the Korda 👍
