Grundéns Buoy X 2.0 GORE-TEX Bib & Brace – Ultimate Fishing Edition

If you're serious about staying dry when fishing in the worst weather, the Grundéns Buoy X 2.0 GORE-TEX Bib & Brace is about as serious a piece of waterproof fishing clothing as you could wish for.

Designed for anglers who spend long days exposed to wind, rain and sea spray, the new Buoy X 2.0 combines rugged 3-layer GORE-TEX construction with a comfortable, mobility-focused fit, allowing you to move freely around the boat without feeling restricted.

Whether you're fishing offshore for bluefin tuna, drifting over wrecks, bass fishing from a small boat or simply spending hours exposed to the elements, having a genuinely waterproof bib and brace makes an enormous difference to your comfort.

Unlike ordinary waterproof trousers, the high-cut bib design provides additional protection around your waist, stomach and lower back, helping keep the weather out when sitting, bending, moving around the deck or fishing in driving rain.

The GORE-TEX fabric is completely waterproof and windproof while remaining breathable, helping moisture vapour escape rather than leaving you feeling damp and uncomfortable inside your waterproofs.

Ultimate Fishing Embroidered Edition

Our version of the Grundéns Buoy X 2.0 Bib & Brace features the distinctive Ultimate Fishing embroidered logo, including the large red and white logo across the back.

Combined with the black fabric and orange Grundéns branding on the adjustable braces and waist straps, these really are a great-looking set of waterproofs.

They also make a perfect match for our Grundéns Buoy X 2.0 GORE-TEX Ultimate Fishing Jacket, giving you a complete waterproof outfit designed for the most demanding conditions.

Mick's Tip – Four Years of Proper Abuse!

I've mentioned this in our description of the matching jacket, but it's worth repeating because it's probably the best real-world endorsement I can give these waterproofs.

Denis, who works with us here at Mr Fish, has been wearing his original Grundéns Buoy X Version 1 jacket and bib and brace for four years.

And when I say wearing them, I don't mean the occasional fishing trip!

Denis rides his motorbike to work virtually every day, throughout the year, wearing his Grundéns waterproofs in everything from ordinary showers to torrential rain and storm-force winds.

Anyone who has ridden a motorbike in heavy rain will appreciate just how much punishment waterproof clothing gets, particularly around the knees, seat and waist, where the wind and rain are constantly trying to find a way through.

Despite four years of this, Denis swears he has never had a single drop of rainwater get inside his waterproofs.

Even more impressively, he tells me he has never once needed to apply any additional waterproofing treatment to them.

Now, to be clear, Denis has been using the original Buoy X Version 1, rather than this new 2.0 model. But having seen just how well his original outfit has performed over the years, it's certainly given us enormous confidence in the quality of Grundéns waterproof clothing.

Sometimes a genuine four-year test in Jersey's weather tells you more than any fancy advertising campaign!

Why We Recommend the Buoy X 2.0

I've always believed that good waterproof clothing is one of the most worthwhile investments you can make if you spend a lot of time fishing.

You can have the finest rods, reels and tackle in the world, but none of that is much fun when you're cold, wet and miserable!

The Grundéns Buoy X 2.0 GORE-TEX Bib & Brace is designed for anglers who want dependable waterproof protection without compromising on comfort or freedom of movement.

And with the experience we've had of the original Buoy X range, these are waterproofs we're very happy to stock and recommend.
