Talk about the synergy between carpy gear and High Street fashion and one name springs to mind – Navitas. The Essex-based firm manages to combine what we carp anglers want from fishing apparel as well as making it look good away from the bank.

Although not necessarily falling into my age bracket (I’m over 40, after all) the Alpha Quilt is right up the street of the younger generation of carp angler. The two lads on TC love this one and I’ve a feeling they’ll be fighting over it.

The modern cut combines with the quilted style and external pocket design and placement to create a great-looking jacket. Showerproof with a fleece zip baffle and storm flap pockets, it’ll keep you relatively snug in slightly inclement weather but it’s in its appearance where the Alpha really scores.
