I've got one had it for ages and been very pleased with it I wouldn't class it as warm though it's a waterproof set to go over layers if you want warm get a Snugpak of some type

I could be wrong but don't think it would be that warm looks like a waterproof

Friend picked one up a few weeks back and loves it, he said it's an incredibly warm set.

Picked one up today and taking it back in the morning.. it's lightweight and seems warm but haven't tested it outside. The zip on the jacket catches the flap on the inside every time I try and unzip it not sure if the jacket is faulty or its a design fault but suspect its a design issue as my mate is having the same problems with his. The trousers on the other hand seem alright

Doesn't surprise me get your money back I don't think you can beat the outdoor clothing companies they been going a long time and I can't see how the Aqua is warm happy to be wrong looks like a waterproof to me the out door ones are based on body heat three layers marrino wool top then fleece then waterproof body heat tfrom walking doesn't work carp fishing sitting on chair

Took it back this morning and tried on another coat and exactly the same issues so got a full refund. I usually use a waterproof insulated hunting jacket and trousers which I picked up cheap in Canada a few years back but broke the zip on one of the legs recently. Gutted really cos these worked great as a top layer

The prologic high grade is ok bib brace very thick and feels restrictive if you don't mind that it's ok normal sizing

it really depends how cold it is I use and love Craghopper winterlined trousers and army gortex over the top

but !!!!!!!!!! if its proper cold and chucking it down then the Prologic will beat it hands down much warmer
and truly amazed anyone would not prefer the extra warmth of bib and brace trousers thats why all Ski wear is made that way
but each to their own

It's not extra warmth of bib a brace it's how uncomfortable they are feel like you got armour on very restrictive for me keeping legs warm is no problem they don't get cold it's feet and head if there warm job done
