I have been using the Pro-Logic HighGrade Thermo Bib & Brace for past 2 seasons and have been more than happy with them.

Prologic-HighGrade-Thermo

*other sellers are available.............

for an extra £20 (if you're a small) you can get the full suit, but I didn't need a jacket at the time of purchase.

I 2nd the Aldi ones. Had mine for 4 years now and confident it will do me another winter before I will look to replace, probably with another pair from there given the price point, which works out less than £5 per year of use

another vote for the Prologic here, great value for money and found them very warm. Seen lots of others recommend them on here over the years.

What's the difference between the Prologic Avenger Thermal Suit and the Prologic Max5 Thermo Suit, does anyone know?

Also interested in a size guide for these too please, if anyone has an idea.

Cheers

I found sizing pretty normal, I normally wear a large in t-shirts/jumpers etc and bought large salopettes. I'm 6'1" and 90kg and fit well. Plenty of room for a coat/fleece underneath but not baggy etc.

For warmth, the Snugpak/Fortis ones are hard to beat, but they aren't waterproof - you'll want waterproof over trousers to cover them if you're standing out in the rain. I couple mine with the Aqua waterproofs. You won't be cold on the bank wearing the Snugpak salopettes and SJ9 jacket.

If you need an even warmer pack then the Prologic Litepro suit 2 set then you are crazy, in the winter -2 degrees and heavy wind just wear a T-shirt and underpants with the
Prologic Litepro 2set and it was more than warm enough


My clothing size is M and the Prologic Litepro in M ​​fits perfectly, also tried the Prologic Max5 Thermo suit, it was too heavy and bulky for me.
