Phat fish Clothing has built its name based on the quality of its products; hoodies, stylish t-shirts, hats, beanies and other quality products. Their new range waterproofs is no different. I received a set of their new Waterproof Trousers and Jacket recently, and it was immediately clear that these were different to usual stamp of waterproofs I've had in the past. The Jacket comes in two distinctive types; DPM Camo or Fishing Green. I really like the ‘ripstop' fabric that they have used, it's very soft to the touch not like some of the gor-tex jackets out there which are very stiff in comparison, and the jacket is made from a material called For-Tex which is Waterproof, Windproof & Breathable, so it offers great protection from Wind, rain and even snow. It also has a 5000mm Hydrostatic Head which basically means it's about as waterproof as it gets. The material uses a 3-layered bonded construction with polyester RipStop outer for strength, Polyurethane Laminated membrane for protection and a polyester knitted inner for comfort.
In terms of features, the jacket has two front pockets that have zips so I can keep any items including my keys or phone safely tucked away, there is also a inbuilt hood zipped away when not in use. The front of the jacket has a nice baffle down the centre to keep the zip clean of any mud and acts to keep any drafts out.
The trousers are made from the same For-Tex material and come in olive green. They have velcro ankle fasteners so you can get your boots on and off easily, and which also allow you to keep out any unwanted drafts or dirt coming onto my clothes underneath. I've been out in some terrible weather just recently (will it ever stop raining!) and both the jacket & trousers have kept me warm and dry in all conditions. The best thing about these two products is that they fold up really small so I can keep them in my rucksack and grab them at a moments notice when the weather turns. The Jacket is priced at £44.99, the trousers at £29.99, or get both for just £69.99. Check them out at Phat Fish Clothing - they're so good it almost makes wet and windy weather fun!
