I didn't no but I will be when I get another one.I can get a hoodie on under it but if I wanted to put more layers on for fishing then I will definitely go up a size

I tried the Fortis stuff on for amusement value but there is no way they're worth the price point . . .the Korda stuff is light and very well made and the even comfy next to skin without feeling overly 'tacky' . . .

Those of you that have the trousers is it best to go a size up in those too if you wanted to layer up?

. . .I don't think so - I'm 6'1" 15 Stone and XL and can fit craghopper kiwis underneath no probs . . .material is stretchy so moves with you rather than against . . .Jacket on the other hand (for me) is a little more fitted - can get a fleece / gilet / thin synthetic puffa underneath but would struggle with a full puffa . . .need to get rid of beer gut!

Typical anti korda negative response when you don't even have any knowledge of the equipment. Stop trolling and grown up.

Thanks for all the input and information. I went and brought it and I think it's excellent. Was out in torrential rain and my clothes bone dry underneath.

Can anyone advise me on the sizes for the trousers I need them to fit a 40” waist? Any help would be great
Thanks

Not necesarily😉
I rarely buy carp taxed clothing for fishing, and there are manufacturers of better equipment in the shooting, hunting or hiking market.

If you want decent clothing look at companies like Hoggs of Fife😉

Really??? I don't even mention Korda ffs!

Anyways, he can spend his money how he wants, just trying to advise him that there are many many companies out there who have been making outdoor clothing for years, and some are quite good at it now lol. If he or anyone else wants to give any tackle company their money for something they have no experience in making and charging the same as some top end outdoor clothing thats up to them, no skin off my nose.

Absolutely no need for you to butt in as you have added nothing constructive with your comment, yet I'm a childish troll lol. pot, kettle, black springs to mind!

Tend to agree. 15k waterproof is not bad but at the price I would personally spend a bit more and be looking at gortex or a similar material. Ideally 3 layer. Higher waterproof rating as well as being tried and tested.

. . .I agree with this wholeheartedly . . .but there is a balance . . .

My Arcteryx Zeta AR jacket sh*ts all over any Fortis / Korda / Wofte kit all day long . . .3 Layer N70p Goretex with a CKnit backer . .you can wear it with a t-shirt and not feel clammy in 18 degree summer rain . . .water just bounces off it . . .my Beta AR pants in N80d Goretex Pro are even more invincible . . !

However would I wear either fishing for those infrequent downpours and when I'm under a twin skin bivvy for most of it staring out at a lake . . .let alone get them covered in mud/fish slime/salmon oil and boilie crumb . . .NO

The Korda kit is a good compromise IMO - light, comfortable, stretchy and with good water resistance . . .don't knock it till you've tried it!

The zip has broken on my my mk1 Dry Kore jacket, it got stuck then suddenly unstuck and the end flew off, great!!

Anywhere that can fix it and is it even worth doing for what it would cost?

Not sure whether Korda zips are 'standard' or specific to their kit . . .a local seamstress should be able to sort but if its a special item then refitting the entire zip mech may be cost prohibitive? Def contact Korda Customer Services first and they will most likely send you a spare for nish . . .
Are you sure?
