Costs a fair bit but I absolutely love my Fortis Marine Jacket.

Sorry if a bit off topic but anyone have any experience of the Trakker two piece for waterproofing and warmth?

Thanks Gerry, I bought one and liked it so much for the price, I bought a second to go in my emergency box I keep in the car.

Got absolutely p**sed on the last two days in the goretex Berghaus jacket from Go Outdoors, think it's called the Maitland. It's kept me perfectly dry and haven't been sweating climbing in and out the boat. Might get the trousers now as my Vass rubberised salopettes are starting to leak and they do not breathe at all. They have done a few years to be fair.

I've got this jacket after your recommendation on the other thread, it's been faultless for me and the water still beads off and doesn't soak in, I've got a Berghaus gore-tex for everyday use and it's every bit as good, an absolute bargain.

I normally take a large but bought an xl so it would fit over whatever I was wearing ,layers etc. I would say they are true to size.
Are you sure?
