The first thing you notice with the Palm Sidewinder Combi Bib is the quality
Of the material and workmanship of the product.
This is a superb piece of kit that is made from xp150. 3 layer breathable fabric .
All the seams and zips are glued and taped so no water gets in because they are breathable material you don’t get soaked in sweat either while wearing them .
The built in waterproof socks keep your feet dry when launching the kayak and retrieving so the cold feet problem is also solved I wear a pair of normal sports socks underneath the built in socks and a pair of sandals on the outside to protect against any sharp objects when launching on the shingle .
The material is very supple so does not hinder movement at all while out fishing and paddling and getting out of them is very easy .
The waist band has Velcro adjusters each side so when they are on you can tighten them up for the perfect fit and maximum comfort.
I have headed many people say that they don’t like anything on their neck like the seals on a drysuit the advantage of the bib and braces is it has no neck so you don’t get this problem yet you get most of the benefits of the dry suit .
After a long days fishing I usually just stand in the sea up to my knees and with a small sponge rub off any fish dirt then once home a quick shower with the hosepipe and a shake dry and away they go ready for next time .
When I bought these they were £179.00 and at the time I thought it was a lot to spend out on a bib and brace but now I have used them for 5/6 months it was money very well spent in fact for the quality of the garment it was cheep .
