Being warm, dry and comfortable is of upmost importance when angling, just like when taking part in any outdoor sport or activity. We were delighted therefore to be asked to review a jacket from Night Gear ... the Webtex Breatha-tex SoftShell Jacket.

• Soft shell outer lining and a warm micro fleece inner lining
• Storm proof zips with removable Web-tex pullers

Review:

The manufacturers of the Webtex Breatha-tex SoftShell Jacket claim it is completely waterproof and windproof. With the stormy weather we have had this winter in the UK, it wasn't hard to find suitable weather to really put it through its paces.

The first thing to mention is that the jacket is really lightweight and comfortable to wear. It's easy to move around in and not at all bulky and awkward like other outdoor jackets. Despite this, it is also really durable and quite clearly well made. It kept me warm and dry on two recent fishing trips and when I've worn it as more of a casual jacket. As we've not had any really cold weather lately, I cannot vouch for how well it will perform in the coldest of conditions but when I have worn it, its kept me really warm and dry.

Finally, the jacket looks good enough to wear not just when angling, but for everyday casual wear. Very stylish. Its really quite affordable too when compared with other similar jackets. The Web-Tex Tactical Soft Shell Jacket features all the same high-tec specifications but with an affordable price tag.

I can't really fault this jacket at all. It's a great all round jacket that is waterproof, windproof and breathable, lightweight but very warm. I love it and won't be taking it off anytime soon.
