    Hi all.Has anyone got any of the climb 8 gear? I am looking for a decent waterproof/breathable jacket and the lough conn jacket looks like good value for 150 quid.Any feedback would be appreciated lads!

    I have one of their jackets, not sure if the name but it's the full size one with a good hood, the cuffs seal well and the pockets are waterproof.

    I picked mine up at the angling show last year for €100 and I have to say it's a fantastic coat.

    I use it mostly in the boat but I also use it duck shooting on wet days.

    Highly recommended.

    I have both the Lough Conn Jacket and over trousers which I use for boat fishing and occasionally shooting in downpours. They are the most effective waterproof breathable clothes I have come across and I recommend them highly.

    i have short wading jacket (not sure about the name) for few years (2?). It's hanging in my van and i use it often as my main rain jacket (including hunting when i do some crawling.). some of seam tape has peeled off but it never leaked. I was thinking of buying longer jacket as a every day item but couldn't find longer one in dublin (short is not very good for walking not to mention crawling. Will certainly recommend it.

    I have the breathable waders and wading jacket.
    Use them boat fishing. Great gear.
    I'm sure they are at the show next weekend.
