Which one ?

I have the unlined ones and they are definitely waterproof 

the clear pvc peak on the hood is rubbish though

From my personal experience you need to forget about carp companies, they don't know anything about bad weather gear.

Look at the clothing the Boat Anglers use - predator and fly fishing, it HAS be be 100% waterproof and warm as there is no escaping the elements when your in the middle of an inland sea type reservoir.  Expensive but buy once!

I would add shooting clothing brands to good bad weather gear, along with some military clothing. I use Hoggs of Fife trousers and jacket

I bought a ron thompson suit years ago horrible stiff tent like material the thing is indestructible so i'm stuck with it, i would like some snugpac clothing but i'm stuck with tailored tarp.

Like the trakker suit and the fox, not handled the vass stuff but the winter gear looks good, what are they like to wear all day.?

Really ?

I’ve probably plugged it enough over the years on here but my Ron Thompson suit , the two piece bib & brace /jacket , is probably one of my best ever buys .

lovely warm & toastie .

Sadly I don’t think they make them anymore but I’ll always always recommend’em .

Oh they are waterproof and super warm just a bit uncomfy to wear in comparison to some of the softshell clothing.

I've got a Sundridge Minus 10 Suit ; like Carpbell says about his Ron Thompson suit my Sundridge does the job , but I can't help hankering after a more up to date Snugpak , and I'd need waterproofs over the top wouldn't I ? 🤔
