I've been looking at the Trakker winter 2 piece suits. Angling direct sell a lighter coloured one for £50 and a newer darker coloured one for £100. What are the difference? Or is there better non fishing branded ones out there?

Loads of better non fishing branded stuff out there, just depends on your budget. I'm a big fan of the snugpak gear myself.

Hoping for something warm and waterproof that doesn't look silly. Hoping to get something around the £50 mark?

I can vouch for the Pro-Logic bib and brace. Kept me nice and toasty last year when I ventured out.
I don't have the full green suit as I have an older RealTree Pro-Logic jacket. Good combination IMO.

I think Gerry was talking about the Pro-Logic suit rather than the Trakker Danny as he has raved about it also on here a few times.

If thats your budget then keep an eye out in Aldi, they do an excellent thermal hoodie and joggers, they also do salopettes and coats which should do the job.

I have the Aldi salopettes and they are still going strong after 4 years of use and abuse. Very good value for money. Warm and waterproof, it's all I want from them

Has anyone got any of the Trakker winter 2 piece coat and trouser ranges? Are they worth the money?

I have an older prologic one. They are great but I'll only use mine if it's really really cold. Any other time and I just cook In it. But it's a proper winter thermal suit

I'm not a big fan of winter suits find them to hot and I just cook in them even in minus temperatures, also find them to big, I prefer to layer up but apart from my hoodies, joggers and t shirts I don't use fishing brands. I have decent thermals I got from millets and a north face 3+1 jacket plus some north face water proof trousers I purposely bought for fishing yeah it costs alot more BUT in my opinion way better quality and it lasts, also like sealskinz hats worth investing in decent gear for the winter and what suits you

Not waterproof. First time my mate worse his Trakker stuff, he got soaked through. Utter crap, unless you intend not to go out in the rain. If waterproof is needed, you want a minimum of 25k rated. Fox is probably your best bet and then just layer underneath. Else Simms do some good kit, but it is expensive. The best always is.
