Morning. Can anybody advise a half decent winter suit. Im not looking at spending hundreds of pounds, just something cheap and relatively warm, a 2 peice or somethin. Or if anybody has one to sell (small/med) Im more than happy buying a second hand one....

The Trakker Tundra suit is a good value option. Always best to have layers in the winter. 'Second skin' thermals are a must as a base layer.

The Fox apparel is always great. Just bought they're Evo hoodie, £30.00, but that will last for Years. really warm, and nicely padded.

i tend to use camo flecktarn jackets and if i can get one a flecktarn over trousers. normally in the winter i wear the jacket (very light and very waterproof and breathes) over my fishing green camo jacket and a pair of over camo trousers. From ebay the jackets are £12 or less the camo green NCO suits are about the same price. yes i dont bother with expensive padded gear from some expensive make. I did see one winter jacket and fleece from my local angling shop for well over £100 and take the view they are not worth the money esp in the winter when its very muddy. the last 3 years i have been wearing these suits all year round and wear them on my mc/s .The only thing i can say against them is that you must wash(hand) and soak them in soapy water over night before wearing them (you soon find out why,if yu dont).

Sales not going well flash???...Ebay...You get what you pay for !!!!

trakker all the way

A company called qualityarmysurplus (note these are ex german army circa 1992/1999 as new jackets) on ebay sells flacktarn "parka" jackets for under a tenner. these jackets are of a heavy duty cotton material eventhough not waterproof like the other flacktarn jackets which are (breathable too) areboth windproof and more than shower proof.(likely thornproof too) A thermal lining is avaliable at around the same price. so for the price of less than £20 you have a parka that will last years and do not need cleaning just a wipe down with a little soap and water and dry it on the washing line . I think anyway of saving money is a good idea. TF gear and Trakker clothing are great quality ,but i fish over 100 times a year and decent gear would quickly get dirty ...... then there is the extra cost of dry cleaning the gear . ( i assume they can be dry cleaned and not machine washable fabrics). Do yu wash your expensive suit in a washing machine ? In the end its what the angler is comfortable with and how deep his pocket.

Dont bother with asuit made by a fishing company they are all pony.

Get yourself on eBay and buy yourself a snugpak sofitie jacket and trousers and british army gortex jacket and trousers if you want to be water proof.

I think the word is "phoney" I personally would not go that far regarding fishing suits sold by tackle shops with a big brand name.
But i can see his point ! just because its got a name ie fox,diawa,korum . Does not mean its better than a non brand.
The way i look at it thats if its used by professional forces (police fire brigade, army navy airforce in particular foreign forces like germany russia croatia,norwegian,canadian . Who"s winters are pretty bad and very cold and wet. then be ideal for british winter fishing. I cant imagine foreign forces wearing most branded fishing camo gear they simply would not last very long (in muddy ,wet and cold conditions). Remember this aint a fashion parade who is trying to look "the man"when he fishing in front of other anglers.

No flash he did mean "pony"
Its ryhming slang "pony and trap--crap"

lmfao

sundrige minus ten suit,look like a tellytubby but christ its warm
