The Best Fishing Bib And Brace - (Full UK Guide On Top Waterproof Bib & Brace Sets)

This Prologic Max Comfort Thermo 2 bib and brace and jacket set is ideal for anyone fishing in the winter.

Both the jacket and the bib brace will keep you nice and warm, thanks to the thermal insulation in both. The bib and brace set and the jacket are also waterproof; even in heavy downpours, you won’t get wet.  

A great feature of the bib and brace is the clasp system. The clasps are plastic, but the attachment points on the front are elastic.

This means that even with additional weight in its pockets, it is still very comfortable to wear. Plus, the whole clasp system is adjustable to ensure you’re comfortable from the off.  

Finally, the jacket and bib & brace are both camo. The camo has been carefully designed to match natural surroundings, which, can really help when fishing the margins or in clear water.

Here is what we like and dislike about the set based on our own experiences...

Daiwa has named this series of clothes the ‘SAS’ range for a very good reason. Any self-respecting SAS member would happily take this bib and brace into battle, which means it is one of the best fishing bib and brace ever created.

This bib and brace, when combined with the SAS Mk7 jacket, can be used as a flotation device. Both are also as waterproof as you can get, as they use 210 denier Oxford nylon.

This fabric is also extremely tough and hard-wearing, yet Daiwa still saw fit to reinforce the butt and the elbows.

Daiwa created this bib and brace to keep anglers safe on the bank. The design features, for example, the nice-sized side pockets, and the reinforcements in key areas, also reflect Daiwa’s understanding of the needs of the modern-day angler.

One of the key parts of Daiwa’s success is that they always put a lot of thought into their products.

This bib and brace has been cleverly designed to offer protection from the elements and from the waterbody itself if any accidents happen.

For its price point, it is definitely one of the best bib and brace sets on the market today.

Imax makes some of the best fishing garments in the world, and this thermal bib and brace is no exception.

It features 100% waterproof fabric with taped seams, so you’ll never get wet wearing this. It also has thermal insulation throughout, and they didn’t miss out on the pockets either. So, even if you forget your gloves, you can still fish and stay warm in this.

Imax has even thought about getting this bib and brace on. With two zips on the bottom of the legs, slipping this on over your fishing boots is so simple.

This bib and brace is actually designed for sea fishing, so it can withstand seawater very well. It also means that Imax has designed this to be worn all day, so it is light, comfortable, and protects you from the elements.

So, if you intend to use this for coarse fishing, you will have a bib and brace that is perfectly designed for the job. In fact, it is over-designed for coarse fishing, so it will last you many years.

Preston is renowned for making some of the best match fishing equipment and clothing in the industry. This bib and brace is ideal for match anglers. It is nice and lightweight, waterproof for those rainy days, but breathable in the summer as well.

As this is for match-style angling, Preston has ensured it is nice and comfortable to wear while seated. It has an elastic waist and straps to make sure it moves when you do but stays secure while you’re in your seat.

This additional manoeuvrability, often makes this type of bib and brace set the preferred option over a more traditional pair of waders.

There are a couple of pockets on the front of this bib and brace, which are ideal for a few fishing tools that you need quick access to. However, other than that, you have a very simple, nicely designed bib and brace that lets you focus on your fishing whilst staying dry.

Daiwa is back on our list with another fantastic bib and brace. This one has been designed with fly anglers in mind, so it is extremely comfortable and allows you to get deep into the action without restricting your movement at all.

The straps can be adjusted to ensure a great fit, and the sides and the back of this bib and brace are elasticated.

Daiwa cleverly designed this bib and brace to work with match-style fishing too.

It has knee and butt reinforcement on the fabric which means you can sit down on your seat box, move around loads and still keep your behind protected from scrapes and scuffs.

This is a very well-designed bib and brace and is sure to give you years of wear.

Century has developed, one of the best waterproof bib and brace sets right here.

It is made with three layers, a 100% nylon outer, a fully breathable and waterproof membrane, and then a 100% polyester liner.

All of this means you won’t get wet while wearing this. And when you combine it with the Century Jacket of the same name, you may not even realise it’s raining!

Century offers the jacket that goes along with this separately as it allows you to tailor the fit perfectly to your body.

This is perfect. With outer gear like this, you need a good fit to stay warm and dry which is handy when this bib and brace and the jacket can be bought in different sizes, as required.

You can really customise the fit of this bib and brace, though. This is thanks to the elasticated straps and the velcro fastening adjustment in the leg gussets. So dialling in the fit of this bib and brace is really easy.

This bib and brace is one of the more expensive on our list, but this is because of the fantastic waterproofing that it has.

This will keep you endlessly dry, even when the winter weather sets in. It also has an excellent thermal insulating layer to keep you nice and warm as well. 

This is a very simple bib and brace, but it is designed to be one of the best to wear in the winter months while fishing. It will keep you nice and dry and has plenty of adjustability to ensure a tight fit.

It does lack some features, like it only has one pocket, for example. Still, this bib and brace is all about keeping you warm and dry and does an excellent job at that.
