Thanks Bill,
There was a company in the UK making Gortex waders (small scale) until about 5 years ago. I hadn’t come across Sitka before, I’ll take a look at them.

Lovely river the Avon, very exclusive. Not many rivers in England are upstream dry fly only, it’s fine to Chuck a woolly bugger on most of them
