People who know me and have seen me out fishing recently may well have noticed
that my, err, manly physique has been somewhat enhanced recently. Despite
rumours to the contrary, this is not down to me eating all the pies, but
because Ive been wearing the RealTree Hardwoods HD Bouyancy Aid Vest from
Fladen underneath my usual fishing jacket.
It is important to note that this is a flotation aid, not a lifejacket. The
fundamental difference being that this will not turn you the right way up in
water in the same manner as a life jacket. It should, however, float you on the
surface of the water. This would gain you what could be vital seconds if you
were to fall in the water. I now wear this buoyancy vest when river fishing and
on lakes with deep margins. To be honest, I should have been wearing something
like it for years.
The jacket conforms to EN393 standards, so you know that there is no compromise
in build quality and the crotch straps, although a little strange to get used to
at first, mean that the jacket wont slide off you in water. There is even a
whistle attached inside one pocket for summoning help.
From a practical point of you, think of the RealTree Hardwoods HD Buoyancy Aid
Vest as a padded fly-vest. The five pockets and two mesh outer pockets that it
has have been designed with the outdoor community in mind, so it is absolutely
superb for stalking and roving anglers. Ive got a feeling this jacket will get
a lot of use from me!
Carp anglers are already familiar with RealTree patterns. They really are the
best camouflage patterns available today. There's no need to compromise, not
when TackleBargains are supplying them this cheap.
The RealTree Hardwoods HD Buoyancy Aid Vest comes with a 2-year manufacturers
warranty and, a the time of writing, TackleBargains were selling them at the
unbelievably low price of just £39! Thats £30 off the usual retail price. At
that price, be quick! Click here to go straight to the correct page.
