The new Maver clothing is the only stuff apart from goretex that has kept me completely dry

protak cheap as chips waterproof and lasts, oh you can get pole jacket thats not puffy its thin and comfortable

Protak all the way~clap ~clap ~clap

I have only had the Protak TR Design which I have found to be better than the Goretex I previously had. I can’t speak for the other designs but the TR is very good.

one word…. PROTAK!!

and a couple of letters…. TR….~clap ~clap ~clap

Been using Protak for over a year and its the dogs danglies, came highly recommended by a mate who has been wearing some for over 10 years and never let him down so good enough for me.

It’s about time you stayed dry!

Protak for me as well,had a TR set for two years and it is simply superb. I’ve got it in black with Royal Blue trim and my name stitched onto the jacket & bib and brace.

Awesome gear

Here’s a good detailed review.

Had my tr stuff for 2 years now can’t fault it, i fell in on sunday i was in the water for about 20 seconds and the only water that got in was up through the bottom of my boots my wallet and phone were bone dry.

Good job your wallet stayed dry Mick or you may have had to open it. LOL.

Ha ha chris i had to open it mate to put my winnings in, the bloody platform gave way as i was getting my net out its the first time ive seen 10 blokes all laughing at the same time lol

Had to laugh today,apparently all the Yanks ryder cup team were soaked in their lovely blue matching raingear,they have all rushed into the club shop to buy some gear off the shelf pmsl.

they should of brought some protak gear…~shh

Halkon Hunt it will last for years.

dont think today could have been a more tougher test for my protak clothing!!

probably the worst conditions i have ever fished in!

but got back to the car after the weigh in at robinswood derby and all my clothes were still bone dry!

oh and i won the match with 64-12 of ide so a very good day! ~clap ~clap

I have had team clothing from both the HH Goretex and Protak TR range although both sets were obtained some time ago. That means that I am in a good position to compare the 2 products.

Both are –

Hard wearing
Breathable
100% Waterproof
Look good
Feel good
Have plenty of pockets
Large zip on/off hood
Inside security pocket
and haven’t faded

There were obvious advantages to the Protak Nisa Waveney team clothing purchase though.
The service was impeccable with Protak.
He rang to ensure that the Nisa Feeders logo was absolutely correct and then rang Nick Larkin to get a file with the artwork on.
He kept us informed as to progress until they were despatched.
The clothing arrived quickly and to order
It was at a far better price than HH.

Now I don’t mind paying a reasonable price for quality out door clothing. When you fish 3 days a week or more all year in this country buying cheap gear is false economy. Protak isn’t cheap but it isn’t overpriced only.

HH were terribly late in delivery. We were always on the phone chasing them up. It was also expensive and finally arrived the week before the National we were fishing. We had been promised it weeks before that. Having said that the product was good but no better than Protak. When you can get a good rod for the difference in price I know what I would go for.

After the worst soaking we have had for ages. I was still bone dry in my new tournament Halkon Hunt set up. I know its expensive but quality always is. Never had any protak clothing but after Halkon Hunt i have never had to.

I and 8 colleagues have used Protak TR for 10yrs; absolutely 1st class. I originally bought the pole jacket; bib-n-brace was so impressed by its performance bought the slip over and over trousers for summer and walking.

I’ve just replaced mine (getting a bit small) with a new set, the old set is still 100% waterproof and I’ve taken out the liner to use it when the new set is being washed.

Only fault I had was the pole jacket and slip over did not cover the overtrouser waist band when sitting on box; not a problem with the B&B.

Fished a Northern intersite at the Oaks a couple of years ago and the only people who left dry were those wearing Protak or Gortex, you can get 2-3 sets of Protak TR for one set Gortex.

“SAY NO MORE”

Just a quick heads up for anyone thinking of getting a set.Ordered my set today and they are getting really busy possible 4weeks wait(tr clothing,fat sod size in black)

Nice to hear some people lurve their H/H Goretex, but for a budget of £150 you aint going to get it. Protak will cover your needs more than enough and will last just as long. Do the maths…simples.

goretex does not have to be HH you know!!
would rather buy berghaus north face etc
cheaper
and possibly tried and tested by a lot more people
goretex for under £150 if you shop around

in fact ive still got some fila goretex bottoms that i had from tk max for £40
match that with the sprayway goretex jacket £40 last chrimbo sale
goretex for £80
thats made me feel better !!

Davenfish hit the nail on the head.

think outside the box! get to a ski/boarding shop / website

I got some awesome North face overtrousers for £60, waterproof and breathable as can be

and they come with a lifetime material guarantee so if the stitching etc comes apart in 5 years time just take the bad boys back

simples.

As for goretex, Berghaus, North Face are the ultimate. Everyones obsessed with HH / tournament goretex

Berghaus is no use at all if you want team clothing though is it? And what about colours? What is great for whizzing down a mountain, apres ski or boat fishing in fog at sea isn’t necessarily what you want on the canal tow path in February.

you can generally get skiing gear in any colour but I take your point

bright pink with yellow strips, im sure youd look like…well im sure you can work it out lol

however jan porter did ok for himself dressed as a fresh tomato

Point taken, but even jan would admit to being outside the norm when it came to match fishing what with his red tackle box and head banging red earphones. Look at him now, even his vehicle has camouflage on it ~think

i never said he didnt look like a tit lol

He, He!
