'CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I USED A BROLLY!'

Strengths:
Warm, waterproof (totally), versatile (it has a detachable fleece) loads of pockets and the 2 piece with the bib n brace is cool/warm enough to wear on its own over a pair of shorts in spring and summer. It is also tough, thorns and nettles will not tear or rip the fabric!
With a pair of hotfoot boots thrown in by most stores (I picked mine up without the boots for much less than the rrp), AND with a 2 year guarantee it is an absoulte STEAL!

[Update 26/05/07] As well as what has already been said, add longevity to the list.

Weaknesses:
None.

[Update 26/05/07] I stand by what I said previously, NONE!

Overall:
I am not sure if mine is the mark 1 or 2, but whatever the version its boss!
I have had it 4 years or so and I have endured many many downpours, I never take a brolly on a river and as such I have literally found myself sitting in puddles that have formed on my chair, yet I have NEVER returned to the car with my undergarments wet! It is without doubt my favourite/ most trusted piece of fishing kit.

[Update 26/05/07] After probably 7 years use for coarse angling, sea fishing, including rock fishing, the jacket is no longer waterproof. A few tiny holes have now appeared in the fabric (this happened to the seams on my Bib n Brace a few years back). Whether this is due to saltwater, years of groundbait, pellets and grime rotting the material or just genuine wear and tear I have no idea. One thing for certain, I will almost certainly replace it with another sundridge jacket/suit.

'Fantastic suit, the best on the market.'

Strengths:
Warmth,number of pockets on both the trousers and jacket, the high collar and the hood which doesn't restrict vision at all while still keeping rain of the face.

Weaknesses:
None.

Overall:
An absolutely stunning suit, which is rated down to minus 15. Hand warmer pockets on the jacket, zipped legs with velcro fastenings and trousers lined to below the knee.
The detachable jacket liner can we worn as a seperate quilted jacket.
If you fish through the depths of Winter this suit is a must and justifies the price.

'ANYONE CAN BE COLD AND DAMP, BUT NOT IN THIS!'

Strengths:
It has everything you could want from a two piece fishing suit and more!
Totally waterproof.

Weaknesses:
none

Overall:
Great range of sizes. A lot of money but you get a lot of suit. The detachable liner is more than enough for chilly summer nights. mine came with a free undersuit,and its all you need underneath.

'WILL RESULT IN YOU SPENDING MORE HOURS ON THE BANK'

Strengths:
All round great suit. It's quiet, you can use it with or without the quilted inner jacket and it keeps you warm dry and confortable in any conditions.

Weaknesses:
None.

Overall:
I've had mine for two years and it's simply superb. One of the best bits of kit I've ever bought.
