Fellow anglers,
I am intending to fish all the way through this Autumn and Winter in search of big Barbel. Does anyone know of or could anyone strongly recommend a thermal, waterproof all-in-one suit so that i don't freeze my B****cks off this winter. Price bracket ?100 - ?200.
Any replies will be thankfully received.

I've got a Sundridge 2 piece. I know it's not what you want, but I am very impressed with it and am incredibly warm when wearing it. I would definitely take a look at their one piece range if I was in the frame for one.

You can also get some good deals from the mail order firms.

Nice one mate,
Have you a website address or a contact number for the firm in which you purchased it off.
Any more info will be greatfully received.

I got mine from my local tackle shop, Banks & Burr in Rugby. They have a website here and do quite good mail order deals.

Failing that, there are normally some tackle dealers advertising in the main fishing mags that would do you a good deal on an appropriate suit.

Hope this helps somewhat

Just to say, that is the correct link I posted. Just that sometimes it bombs out.

Guys
Are we talking the Minus 10 suits from Sundridge or just the normal suits they sell.
Looked in their brochure and the Minus 10`s look good.
?150 or there abouts are they good and worth that price.
Anyone know.

Dave,
We're talking the minus 10 suits and i have to agree with you they do look good. I think that's what i'm going to go for as i already have the sundridge hot foot boots and can't fault them.

Mike, I have the Sundridge 2 piece. However I now only use it for static fishing (night time now and piking in winter).

If you do any roving around then the Sundridge suits are more of a hinderance and you get really, really sweaty in them.

As a result I got kitted out from an army surplus store, for half the cost. Go for Dutch, German, or any Scandanavian issue. I got a light weight trouser and jacket for ?70. 100% waterproof and Gortex, and is much lighter.

Mike think layers.A good start would be something like the sleepskin undersuit from Sundridge followed by a fleece followed by a jacket.You really would also be better off not getting a one piece , not flexible enough.You will find that it is easier to move around in a two piece and often just wearing the bib and brace with a fleece is enough.Make a decent hat and boots a priority too.These two things make all the difference.

Dave,
I already have the HOT FOOT boots from Sundridge which i think should suffice. How much are the Sleepskin undersuits? and can you recommend any decent hats?
