Hope you have more success with yours than i had. They leaked like a sieve.
They are one of the best design wise but the worse waterproof wise.
Most people i have spoken too have had bad experiences with them.

Hope they have the waterproofing issues sorted now.

ive had pretty poor experience wity them, all the tapes came off the seams on mine, other than that they are fine, just not the most waterproof

Same problems as lumpy. Look great but that does'nt keep the rain out unfortunately

I've the smock since before chrismas and I find it great. The velcro tends to tear away from the smock due to their strength versus poor stitching. I don't know why Anyfish Anywhere have everything they sell black. Especially on a water proof suit where its down right dangerous if you have to walk along the road at night to get to and from fishing.

I had a look on a English forum and some people got a replacement for their smocks as the company said there had been a bad batch. Seems like it was more than a bad batch. Did the smocks leak straight away or after time?

How are ya donagh. Mine was fine for the first session or two. Then it went to muck letting water in around the shoulder/arm area

Same as Seanie, took mine back to the tackle shop and had it replaced though. Havent had any issues as yet with the other one, if I do, back it will go. At a ton for the smock, if it starts leaking within a year you should send it back, its not fit for its purpose. As far as Bib n Brace are concerned, I have a pair of Snowbee ones that are the absolute business, theres nothing gets through them and thats after numerous washes. No sign of tearing or anything remotely like it either. Not cheap though.

Thanks lads. Hopefully mine will stay good. I've seen complaints on every forum I've looked at about the AA waterproofs since I bought them. Maybe thats why their being sold off at half price in veals.

I wouldn't say you've been done yet as I have my smock six months and no problems. From looking at other forums the smocks are either good or bad. Its not a design fault more badly made smocsk are being passed on by their suppliers. Anyfish Anywhere were also keen to replace faulty smocks.
