Trakker
Tundra Combi-Suit

As we enter the depths of winter and with the cold and wet stuff now dominating our weather forecasts, and after two of the worst winters on record and with more of the same expected. Now is the time that any serious winter angler must consider what clothing they are going to be wearing to combat these extreme elements. The biggest problem many anglers have when trying to find the right clothing for this type of weather is finding something suitable and at the right price. Over the past year or so, one suit that has built a huge following is the Tundra Combi-Suit from Sheffield based specialist tackle manufacturers Trakker, so UKMA have had a look at one to see what this extreme weather suit has to offer you the anglers.

Tundra Jacket with zip out Fleece

This Jacket and fleece combo has been designed to offer versatility of warmth and waterproof protection suitable for the extremes of our winters. The main Jacket is manufactured from a waterproof and durable material with all seams taped sealed. The Tundra Jacket incorporates a tried and tested warm thermal insulation that is designed to keep you warm on the coldest of days. The outer Jacket also features a fleece lined collar that has adjustable Velcro tabs for a secure fit around the neck. There is also get a fleece lined, removable waterproof hood that features a secure Velcro fastening and a pull string system with toggles for precise adjustments to eliminate drafts and achieve a snug fit.

The Tundra Jacket utilises a heavy duty, two way full length zip that is easy to use even when your fingers are freezing. The zip is protected by a Velcro fastened storm flap that runs the full length of the zip to eliminate drafts and prevent water entering the jacket. The Tundra Jacket also features three external fully zipped pockets, one on the left breast that is ideal for your keys, phone and wallets. Then on either side you have what I call the side hand pockets, these are fleeced lined and offer ample room even for the angler with big for hands. When required you also have the option of a zip-in fleece inner Jacket that can be simply fitted or removed in seconds. UKMA found that when the fleece inner jacket is fitted, the Tundra Jacket turns into a very warm piece of extreme weather clothing.

Tundra Bib & Brace

The Tundra Bib & Brace offers the same excellent warmth and durability as the Tundra Jacket. It is fitted with a hard wearing two way zip for ease of access and practicality. The Bib & Brace comes with fitted braces that are fully adjustable and once set right are very comfortable on the shoulder. There are four external pockets on the Bib & Brace, you have who fleece lined and fully zipped side hand pockets these have storm covers for extra protection. On the outer side of each leg you also have a large cargo style pocket that are both fully zipped and both have ample in size. These also have storm covers that are secured in place with two Velcro strips for ease of access and added pocket protection.

TOP FEATURE: On the outer side at the bottom of each leg you have a heavy duty zip that goes to just below the knee. This makes it much easier to put on wellington style or knee length boots and when the zip is fully closed you can then attach the Velcro secure strap to achieve a comfortable fit.
