Yep Snugpak with waterproof jacket over the top, I can't imagine anything worse than getting soaked either setting up or hopefully landing a fish then having to sit in the bivvy in a a wet jacket dripping everywhere, grim

Agree.
I don't understand these guys that don't rate Snugpak as they're not waterproof.
Waterproofs are for keeping dry.
Thermal clothing is for keeping warm.
Snugpak make thermal gear, not waterproofs.
Although they even do a waterproof option yet still get comments

Cheap shell over the top provides waterproofing or get some army goretex trousers and jacket to go over Snugpak. Surplus second hand for bargains on goretex.

I use the surplus stuck over top of Snugpak salopettes and sasquatch in the coldest weather. If the outer gets wet just hang up to dry, but even if the salopettes and sasquatch get wet it doesn't take long to dry out anyway, just don't wear to many clothes underneath and body heat and walking up and down drys minor damp out. Plus you actually get some steppage drying it out

I used army surplus softies and have a Sasquatch for when the going gets tough
I also used a snugpak Poncho thing for waterproofing
The softie trousers worn under trousers are great👍🏻
