Hard to find decent waterproof tops and bibn brace now,but here are a few of my opinions on ones ive had-Vass light and waterproof but dont know how durable theyd be after constant use ? i mainly use them in the summer.Had a sundridge floaty for a few years which was excellent,so last year got a sundridge retex suit i think the carp lads use em. First time on legs were soaked after a downpour so wouldnt recommend.Then got a Sundridge en tec two piece floaty for Norway last year,same again wet again after out in rain and brand new,so it would appear their gear has gone downhill.Another option would be to get some breathable chesties i got some Bison bootfoot ones 2 winters ago and they have been champo light breathable waterproof with built in wellies for £100.

Bassboots, second to none. They are waterproof only and not thermally lined but not a drop gets through them.

The sundridge one's think there called storm,about £35 are really really warm n comfortable,but let water in like a siev,I reproofed mine n had no probs since...In real bad weather I like chesties n my vass smock,sure keeps the rain out...

Yeah beginning to think my waders are just the better option... Just more awkward to walk in that's all.... Thanks for the replies lads

I used the vass tex 550 series in Norway. They're the oil skin version. Totally waterproof. Look at the video on you tube of someone getting blasted with a jet wash in them.

I've got an Imax thermo - lovely and warm but doesn't stand up to heavy rain. The odd shower fine but it tends to absorb the water. I'm going to give it a spray with nikwax and see if that solves the problem.
