For me its a new fishing/wading jacket, although I'm actually looking at sailing jackets rather than 'fishing jackets' at the moment. They look to me at least to be better designed and better quality for not much more money, still trying to decide which one to go for though.

The next thing I buy will be sold to me by a salesperson. They will convince me it's bigger, better and will catch me more fish. I will use it once and write a review about it. Now I may not be able to compare to a similar one cause I never used one like it before. However I will rant and rave about it in my review and quote the pitch I got suckered by. After six months and I realise it's been sitting in my shed I will try and off load it in the for sale section. I will also jump on anybody else who posts an item for sale and badger them "do they fancy a swap". :roll:
