Ta 😃 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! salokcinnodrog and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add shooting clothing brands to good bad weather gear, along with some military clothing. I use Hoggs of Fife trousers and jacket  Try this https://www.hoggs.co.uk/mens/trousers/flexothane-4600-grn-bib-brace crusian and kevtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 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.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? 🤔 😃 Carpbell_ll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
