Perfect match for the winter. Unfortunately like the FJ6 they are not waterproof. For warmth though they are hard to beat.

The Trakker Elements bib and brace are good. Warm, waterproof and nice soft, comfortable material.

Prologic Thermo are brilliant !!!!!!!!!! LINKY POO
THE COMPLETE SUIT CAN BE BOUGHT FOR AROUND £75
these suits are now discontinued hence the half price offers around

IMHO they are far superior to the normal fishing brands you WILL stay warm and dry

Wash with Nikwax TechWash & when drying spray with Grangers waterproofing spray before tumble drying on lowest heat setting for 10-15 minutes will water proof the material without affecting the breathability or filling. The Softee filling also keeps you warm when it is wet unlike a lot of other fillings. This is what I done with mine & wore them yesterday in torrential downpours without getting any of the clothes worn underneath wet.

The ones ALDI were selling last year are great value at £25 a pair.
I have had no issues with them all last winter and this year so far - Keep an eye out, if they sell again!

Had an Aldi pair for 4 years now and they are still going very strong. Still warm comfortable and waterproof, not asking for much more than that

best I have had by miles are the Deerhunter Muflon and Halkon Hunt in olive (ordered from them direct).

Are you sure?
