Hi all,

Just bought this vest and tried it on this morning fishing trip and it works pretty good and keeps my body warm like in summer lol.

My mates got sonething similar but his can charge your mobile phone too. Interesting vest, would you be electricuted if you fall into the drink while wearing it?

probably but 12v will probably be the least of your worries if you go over the side in the kind of condition where a jacket like that is necessary.

You could probably get a couple of merino wool thermals on special from Anaconda this time of year which would do the same job for less that half the price

Bunnings sell a similar style of jacket from.miluwake . Its in the power tool section

A teaspoon, or two, of cement-powder in your daily cuppa, perhaps?

I honestly prefer not to be a hero and brave the conditions and fish when its too cold..
I rather fish comfortably or not fish cause I'm doing it for fun not for a feed most times. Taking fish home is was a bonus for me. And comfortable for me means not being cold in winter for a start

Do you see anyone walking around in sheepskin coats or similar these days????



Seriously whats with these shitty responses lately guys.

No we don't need sheepskin coats but we still wear woolen clothing etc. Agree with mingle regarding a teaspoon of cement as products like this seem to be a little bit of a waste of cash when you can get a sheepskin coat to stay warm.

Interesting concept Froggie, but I fish from my kayak & personality I try keep things simple (was out this weekend night fishing). Just put on a few layers of the right gear & you're toasty & no worries about battery dying, shorting etc
