So basically, completely useless in a fishing situation unless you fall in. If that is the case you could always take your clothes off in you bivvy though.

Saw a woman wearing one on the jubilee line just now. Get the feeling that she was not on a hot date?

As I live just over the estuary from them, totally agree. Only allowed to wear them on the beach*, when doing beachy things. They're too warm and bulky to wear as a coat.







*Or at the cricket ground, which is possibly one of the windiest grounds in the uk, in early spring. At least it's next to the beach.

None of the copies come close to the original tho. And how about supporting a small, local company that has innovated?

me and the family do a fair bit of festivals and camping and are big fans of the concept - We own dry robes for the kids (who primarily use them after swimming) or when were camping and they are excellent but v expensive - me and the mrs couldnt say no when we noticed Wiggle recently had the well reviewed Föhn Adventure Robe - Long Sleeve in the sale for £47.50 half price and more

Have to say very pleased with it when stood stationery at a festival getting hammered on or for getting changed - they are oversized remember as primarily designed for changing in as opposed to doing the big shop so I sized down (does make me chuckle seeing people in Tesco wearing them with crocs)

Great bit of kit but its not something ill be using in my fishing - they are big and bulky so ill stick to me Aqua/Fortis waterproofs and Buffalo kit for the winter

for the past 9 years my fishing has been 90% on the River Trent both tidal and middle and unlike Carping/camping you sit on your rods one of the things I like a lot is my Snugpak poncho keeps me nice and dry
and so to me its function over fashion and can see the benefit of the extra warmth with waterproof win win it looks to pack down small very handy to bung on when sitting on your rods and it gets chilly
I recast every 40 mins keeping the feeder filled everytime reel in sleep all day fish all night not everyones cup of tea but to me its a great buy
