One of the reasons why i kept the Prologic and not the Trakker is that the Prologic is not so bulky vs the Trakker, my clothing size is M I bought the Prologic in M and it fits perfectly

In found the sizing about right HOWEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there are different versions of this some a lot warmer and heavier what you need to check is each model has a different GSM !!
the one I own and in the link is the warmest with a 160gsm 100% polyester wadding
but other variations like the Prologic HighGrade RealTree Thermo Suit have 120gsm

I prefer to layer up myself, and it's non fishing brand
The base layer is a norgi army top, with a zip up fleece on top. If I need a waterproof jacket, it's the army Goretex jacket, or a Hoggs of Fife Strathmoor jacket.
Bottom half is normal combat trousers with Strathmoor overtrousers on top.
Bootwise I am still using TFG Extreme boots, the current closest equivalent is probably Jack Pyke Tundra Boots.

Last time this year I used the winter suit it was 2°C at night I only had an t-shirt underneath it with my hoody it was too warm, the Lite pro is 150Gsm, a 160/180 seems overkill to me + the nice thing about the Lite pro is that it doesn't feel so heavy and isn't bulky

This is the one I'm thinking of going with due to it being lighter but still not fully decided. I've currently got the old Trakker multi core suit that's genuinely only been used 3 times and the stitching has come away in the pockets, far to bulky as well.

Actually, you're wrong. If you look outside the clothing aimed at carp anglers, you will see brands like Simms, Vision and Grundens - all are clothing companies who sell fishing specific clothing. Way better than anything you can get from anywhere, as they are designed for fishing. Most carp stuff is useless crap for the average fella. Of course if you are a fat fecker, then anything will keep you warm. LOL. A lot of non fishing branded clothing, as good as it might be, is not designed for fishing and wont take the wear and tear. I have a couple of Simms jackets and bibs, as well as a Simms primaloft lined bib for winter in the boat. I can stand all day in the rain. wind, sleet and even snow, yet still be dry and warm. Most carp fishing jackets and bibs will wet out in minutes and aren't that warm. Check out Simms gear, available in the UK from a number of stores. Not cheap, but the best never is.

I have the fox salopettes, they're pretty decent.
Always makes me laugh these threads when you get the standard response of, "don't bother with fishing branded clothing, it's all crap" ...... 
......it's just like everything else, either fishing or non-fishing, some things are good and others not so...clothes, cars, food, beer....some are good, some are overpriced rubbish......
Some fishing branded clothes are very, very good and perfectly adequate for 99.9% of conditions we angle in. Some of the Nash ZT range is very good, the Fortis range is excellent, (although they often get a free pass because it is Snugpak) and the OMC Cubera Puffer jacket my mate was wearing when we went a couple of weeks ago was superb...although I would struggle to bring myself to give a single penny to anything associated with Ali Hamidi...
