Preston Innovations Drifish Celcius Jacket & B&B


PRESTON INNOVATIONS DRIFISH CELCIUS JACKET & B&B COMBO
Price: £109.99


Preston Innovations Say
“Drifish clothing has been a huge success for Preston Innovations since it's launch. Designed especially for angling, it is one of the most practical angling clothing systems available in the UK. Made from advanced materials, and available in a full range from small to XXLarge.

“Drifish Celcius is totally waterproof and seriously hot and is the warmest angling clothing you're ever likely to see….. or need. Designed for fishing in the coldest conditions, the thermal 'hollofil' lining traps your body heat with maximum efficiency, yet doesn't impede movement. In fact Celcius is so warm you only need a minimum of additional clothing underneath it. Combine the ¾ length jacket and bib and brace and you have the ultimate combination for cold conditions.”

FISHINGmagic VERDICT


Certainly amongst the warmest, most stylish and well designed jacket and B&B combos I've ever worn. The soft touch fabric makes for almost 'silent' walking, not so much of that annoying 'swish, swish' as the fabric rubs against itself.

Sit there with the fleece collar against your neck, the wired hood pulled forward and shaped to your liking, your hands in the deep, fleece-lined pockets, and it feels like your in a bivvy!

There is a waist adjustment cord with toggle……for those who have a waist, and the B&B has reinforced knee and seat pads, great for sitting on the grass or kneeling down when you're having a trophy shot taken.

The pockets are both numerous and generous.

One thing to bear in mind though. Unlike the rest of the Drifish range the Celcius isn't breathable, hence the price. Although I can't yet say I've sweated any more when wearing the Celcius than when wearing any other clothing of comparable heat retention performance, I would have been willing to pay more for the same combo in a breathable fabric.
