Thermal for preference but doesn't have to be and not necessarily Realtree or whatever!
What are your recommendations??

Colin,
I have had the Bracken EC has just got for a number of years, Great bit of kit. I bought the Bib and Brace with the short Jacket.
The reason I went for the short jacket means that I can have this on with my chest waders, and have stood in the rain for hours and not had any trouble from leaks. The one time I did get a leak was when I had a holdall on my shoulder, this put pressure on the outer skin and pushed the wet into the material, but it has never leaked since. The Bib and Brace have stood up to plenty of mud and rain, nice and warm also.
I bought my son the Korda gear, not cheap, but again top bit of kit. One of my mates has the Pro Logic gear, again very good, at the end of the day, it's down to cost, but for me, I would rather pay that bit more for the right gear.
Good luck

Have these Bracken ones a fly front, the only anti I have with the Sundridge suits,and I'm on my second, is that you have to almost undress just to have a pee!

Sundridge Blizzard two-piece ----swear by it. (Although I'd prefer a colour other than blue!!)
Coupled with my thermal vests and long johns plus my craghopper quilted troos...snug as a bug in winter.....although Fred is correct...plan your toilet needs in advance.

Sundridge all the way for a fully water proof suit, I've also got the TF Gear force 8 suit but yet to use it in torrentail rain.
Well, 2 years ago I opted for the Wychwood Winter 2 piece suit.
It has a ¾ length jacket, well insulated and plenty of pockets, and a Bib and Brace type trousers that are really warm.
Totally waterproof, and I've had mine in some absolute deluges too.
The trousers have zip up sections at the bottom for ease of getting on over boots, and velco fatsenings so you don't look like an olive-clad sailor in bell bottoms, (and for Fred) a proper fly zip for when taken 'short'

I was well chuffed when I found the Sundridge IQ two piece suit on the Fishingwarehouse site , sent them a email on wednesday , no replie , sent another yesterday , then had a look again on the site , they had pulled it off , fair enough , they cocked up , I would say that they don`t sell that suit anymore , but did I get a replie to that effect ? Did I bol&$cks , so it would be fair to say that I won`t be buying from them at all .

I'm not boasting of anything chaps, but I thought that's what the zip on the bottom of the trouser leg was for.

I got a sundridge two piece/bib and brace thermal suit for sale.The coat has a lining that unbuttons and its the dogs doo dahs !!! It`s never seen water,never been out of the house,i`ve only ever tried it on once.I brought it with the best of intentions but have just never used it.
I paid £70 for it in a sale from a dealer on e-bay but i`d let it go for £50 no offers if someone wanted it ???

I've had the Korum 2 piece for about a year now. It's got a decent lining which keeps you warm in winter, but which can be renoved for Summer use.
It's been totally waterproof and, unlike many jackets, the hood is a decent size. The only slight niggle is that the jacket is 3/4 length and the bib and brace is cut high so you end up with a lot of material around the middle if you're sitting down. It would have been better with a shorter jacket.
