Can anyone recommend a saltwater friendly vest/waistcoat ie, all plastic zips or all velcro fastenings flaps etc???

TA!

These are quite a snug fit but waterproof, lacking pockets though

Have a look at Vass or Shakespeare Salt range, Rapala do som6nice stuff too

[Alan_dalton]

The ones for the fly anglers look good. The vision and fishpond ones look very good. Not sure if there saltwater resistant though. Good selection at Glasgow angling centre

Is the first one you posted cheaper?

Actually seen that one Alan, I've been looking for something a bit more "budget". I think my current Cortland model will do for the time being.

Thanks

Plastic zips or velcro Bri.

I've ruled out all the usual search result returns. If I really get into it, I'll stretch to the Patagonia.

my loft might be your answer for a budget vest. can check and you can pm me. ok postage etc. not wanting much they do fail in salt water need very good wash and lube.

There's loads of budget vests available for next to nothing, I was specifically looking for saltwater proof zips. My cortland freshwater fly vest has nylon zips with metal pullers. It'll do at a pinch.

Still have a look though, I'm open to all suggestions

First rule of sea angling clothing - the air temp will be the water temp if there is any sort of wind.

I spin the beaches here and elsewhere usually dawn and dusk and always wear a windproof fleece with underarm zip for ventilation (Wolfskin).
(Lures in a sling bag and net pole with a spike to aid walking and drying).
