Morning All,

I have had my eye on on the trakker 3 piece suit but I was wondering if there was anything else on the market which people would recommend?

I would consider just a Jacket option...

***forgive me if this is the incorrect section to post, on the face of it, this seemed to be the most appropriate

Thanks

Dan

you can buy the Jacket or the trousers separately........ BUT !

shop around you can get this suit for a steal price as its now discontinued IMHO it beats the hell out of suits costing double its the Prologic HighGrade Thermo Suit between 80 to 90 quid used to be double that
the blurb
Durable 100% polyester peach shell fabric with water-repellent finish
100% waterproof of 8.000mm and taped seams
Soft and warm inner 100% polyester micro fleece and taffeta lining
Fully insulated by 160gsm 100% polyester wadding
Detachable and adjustable insulated hood with wired peak
Strong 2-way main zipper with double wind fillet on jacket
Adjustable waist for perfect fit
Soft inner rib cuff with velcro adjustment on outer cuff
Fleece-lined handwarmer pockets
2 box pockets, 1 zipped chest pocket and zipped inner pocket
Comfortable elastic suspenders with strong buckles
2-way zipper on B&B
2 box pockets with fleece-lined handwarmer pockets behind
Elasticated waist for perfect fit
Re-inforced knees
Zipped bottom leg gusset with velcro adjustment

I HAD ONE for over 10 years sold it as I outgrew it and replaced it with another a size bigger if you want to stay both warm and dry this is the daddy

I got the Trakker 3 piece core from bay on Boxing day £115 including delivery, I think its brilliant and does what its supposed to, very comfortable, warm and kept the wind out, I went for a walk around local lake last week when it was freezing, I had to remove the fleece as wasn't needed, jacket is very well padded, The bib and brace fits lovely, plenty of room, and the knees are well protected, much better than the last Trakker winter outfit, which I had for years, if I bought again I'd buy the 2 piece for £89 on the bay, as I dont need fleece, plus 3 piece cheapest I could find today is £125, so £35 for a fleece !!!!!

Hi.
Been looking at your recommendation for a while. Just uncertain about size to order I am just over 6ft, short legs long body and arms. Not a big build. Been looking at large.
Saw a guy wearing one last week. looked good
Large or Extra Large. Thanks

The prologic bib brace is warm but heavy very bulky hard if you have to walk far in it it's like walking around with a sleeping bag on the jacket I didn't feel very warm in it tbh prologic is budget brand depends how much you want to pay it's ok for price wouldn't want to pay anymore

I'm xl in all clothing, and xl in prologic fits fine.
If your normally large size, that'll be the one.

as normal your talking complete cobblers clearly your an idiot for stating one of the best clothing brands as BUDGET this suit is now discontinued hence the massive price reductions of around 50% of its original selling price initially
apparently this suit was produced for the Norwegian fishing industry and is rebadged under the Prologic and Svensen brands

seems everything I recommend you CLAIM to have owned and is budget or cheaply made as you put it like the excellent Wychwood X-light bedchair the moment I mention it ?
YES everyone is entitled to an opinion but at least tell the ****ing truth dont bull**** ?

Can highly recommend the snugpack fj9 jacket,. Im 6ft 4 big build long arms and 2xl fits perfect allowing for clothing underneath. Seriously comfortable and warm. I dont wear clothing like this while walking around, just put it on once set up and its like being in a warm cloud
Will have to invest in the snugpac trousers, got the cheap military omsoftue trousers and they are not as warm s I would like.
