Anybody familiar with these ?

I've emailed them to ask what the rest of the jacket is made of.

not that jacket, but I've had klobba gear before and it's never been anything to write home about bud, approach with caution! Can't find any reviews with google, must be a new product. Have you had a look at those all mesh jobs?

Yeah I've got the Beaton jacket which is superb, but as you know I'm a kit freak and always looking to try something new.

I like the fact it's "waterproof" and that you can stuff the hood into the front pocket.

you could make something similar yourself another reason to get that sewing machine! not far off 10000 posts now rich!

Tbh I think you'd be better with a decent head net in the pocket of a good cagoule. The only Klobba jacket I wore was shredded in a month, and I sweated like a very unladylike thing in it too :embarrassed: No better than a pacamac cagoule.
Maybe they've improved.

cheers,

Sounds like the Klobba gear isn't too cracking then, I'll just stick to the Beaton

Is it not fishing kit ? Maybe the fishermen would know more about it.
Hate to discourage you from trying out new kit
