You spend a fortune on having the best kit, but have you ever thought how much not having the right clothing can cost you during a match? Just think, how many times have you snagged the cuff because the cut isn’t quite right, or if only the hood was cut a little different it would make shipping back easier. These, and dozens of other design improvements, were incorporated into the Matchtek suit and refined over almost a year of on the bank testing to produce what we believe is the best suit you can buy.
Our brief was simple, to design the highest performance suit ever. We started by developing our own Extremis 5000 material, because there was nothing ‘off-the-shelf’ that was quite up to the job. We then worked with a top extreme sports clothing designer to optimise the construction of the suit to give the best possible build quality. Finally we introduced the design detail, derived from more than thirties years on the bank experience, that really sets this suit apart.

The Total Kit Solution (TKS) has been created by using the same unique mandrel for both Match and Power kits across the whole range of poles.
We take it for granted that anglers know exactly where to cut the pole tips back to when fitting them with elastic. If the sections are cut back incorrectly and the incorrect PTFE bush is fitted, then it often leads to unnecessary pressure being applied to both the top kit and the pole.This then often leads to the elastic not working correctly, or even breakages.
Being able to use the same mandrel across the range has enabled us to produce colour coded ‘cut marks’ on both Match tips and Power tips so the angler now knows exactly where the tip should be cut back to, and what size PTFE bush to fit to suit the correct elastic.
