I think the Dry Robe style design coats (plenty of brands to choose from) are perfect for fishing. I have since found a non-thermal version which is also perfect for warmer temps!

There, i said it!! ....

There is a Facebook page dedicated to spotting anyone wearing a dryrobe that hasn't just finished their sea / lake swim . . . its called Dry Robe W**kers . . .

They do camo - bet some will be at the Essex show this weekend!

There is help available for people with your problem, however given state of the N.H.S at present, and the clear need for urgency in your case, I would suggest going private.

There's a FB page called Dry Robe ****ers, I guess there was a legitimate reason for this 🤷

What's wrong with being cocooned in highly flammable polyester just to walk your dog in bang average British weather.

Seen a few wearers about, reminds me of the Hungry Catapilla.

Sleeping bags worn by certain sorts who wish to infer a higher income than their neighbours and fellow dog walkers.








Living in sin with their flexible friends 😉

A passing phase for the great unwashed like the word "cheeky" added to a Nandos order or spend down the tackle shop that the social security money means they shouldn't really be spending but it makes them inclusive, that's where we are in a Mark Pitchers world.

They should have one for fat bags who have never swum a length in their life dog walking

On a serious note I can see the benefit for outdoor swimmers or pursuits, fishing is on the borderline but I can see it now, dry robe, gayer the better, beanie hat and hoodie combo sporting around most lakes WTF

Probably ideal for chucking on and landing a fish when it's pissing it down...
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
