Crocka, the other option might be to consider a Stormyseas inflatable pfd jacket.It has all the features you expect (windproof, waterproof, lined, hood) plus so much more!The sleeves zip off if it gets warm to turn it into a vest, it is in hi-vis red with recflective strips for night, and the best part is, it's also an inflatable lifevest. You get ya choice of manual inflation where ya pull a ripcord to inflate, or auto which automatically inflates upon immersion in water.A handy insurance policy if fishing on the rocks,and something you can also take on fishing charters, wear on ya own boat, and a damn fine versatile piece of kit!http://www.stormyseas.com/http://www.stormyseas.com/home.html

I'm the same as Brenton I've gotta Husky :icon_e_wink: good jacket keeps ya dry and warm and has zips under the arms to open for ventilation. Up the river a few weeks ago it teemed with rain and I was as dry as a nun's......never mind Husky gets my vote :icon_e_biggrin:

The reason I like the Swanndri aka Swanny, is they are made fom pure wool, they are totaly windproof, and Ive spent all night in the rain (on the juice) and remained totally dry. The best thing I like is that they are long and keep ur kidneys and butt warm. Each to thier own, but the website has online specials, and I just picked up a Murchison Bushshirt (triple layered technical fleece)for the YoBBeTTe for $82 delivered. This jacket is normally $250 min.pm me if you would like the link as I dont think its right to post it.I swear by them.

Due to poular demand, here the link.http://www.swanndri.co.nz/root.aspxCheck online shop, then special offers.Please note, when they say bushshirt, it is a jacket.

[crocka79 0]

Yes i checked it out earlier yobs ;D, definetly sum quality bargains to be had there , the mens murchison bushshirt (the only one with a hood) for $100 looks ok but it said water resistant..... im sure it would be cool in light rains but if it dont say 100% garaunteed water proof it wont do.standing on portys jetty in gale force winds pissing down with rain ule soon no if it water proof or not. might just get one aswell anyway they look very warm ;)thanks for the input guys ;D ;D
