Korda DryKore Black 15k Waterproof Jacket

Product Information

WINDPROOF - Whilst designed to be worn over the top of other clothing during the colder months, it also plays a big part in keeping you warm as it is impenetrable to wind, even the strongest gale can’t get through it.

Why? I felt the fit was just a little bit too slim for me. I’m by no means a bulky guy, but I just felt a little bit restricted when it came to adding in my insulated under layers. This enormous, trench style coat is full length, covering you from head to ankle, depending on how tall you are. To be honest, there isn’t much difference between this and the original Snugpak Sleeka which forms part of my own winter clothing. There is the addition of a hood and some thumb loops, but technically they are very similar. It’s true storm attire to say the least. Being both waterproof and windproof, it has you covered in all seasons.

The cleverly designed chassis is paired with panels of SupraMesh™ woven aramid fabric for superb ventilation in even the most humid conditions.

Breathability is decent, and I found the sizing just about right to get enough winter layers underneath for November onwards. Not too tight and not too baggy. I actually tend to wear it out on dog walks too as it looks more stylish than my Regatta alternative. They’re not really made for use all of the time. Ideally, you’ll have decent under layers that will keep you warm and you’ll only need the waterproof when it starts to rain. This is a topic of much debate on most carp groups. And most of the time it shows that us carpers are not the most knowledgeable when it comes to outdoor clothing. The puffer-style mid-section will not only keep your core warm but is also incredibly comfortable to wear and won’t restrict your movement, thanks to the hi-tech materials used to make it. The light padding utilises hollow fibre technology to provide the optimal amount of warmth from the lightest possible weight of material. High tensile woven fabrics tailored with a focus to maintain an ideal strength-to-weight ratio is a KORDA® hallmark and provides the rider with a light yet resilient protective garment.

The guys have also thought about the cuffs too, extending them to ensure water doesn’t run down your wrists when casting.
