Looking for a set of lightweight waterproofs to go over my clothing when raining. These won't do loads of work. I've already spotted the Vass-Tex ones. Ideally would have a carry bag/stuff sack that I can put them away in and elasticated or pop close Sleeves and Ankles. I don't want to pay silly money either!

Cheers in Advance Lads

I'll second those spent 45 minutes kneeling in a boat trying to unweed a fish in pouring rain in the trousers and was as dry as a bone.

The Vast-Tex waterproofs are only vaguely waterproof. Gore-Tex is always the best option...

I've gone for the Peter Storm Cagoule. £15 odd on Amazon. I'll see how that fits and then possibly buy the matching trousers.

Once again some super helpful answers. Thanks lads

Dpm army gortex best bar far. Breathable if carp jackets were made of this they would cost 200 a piece. Same with bivvys all this super aqua plastic bond material is not a patch on gortex
