Cold Weather Gear

[walker]

Can anyone recommend any cold weather clothing, in particular I'm looking at getting a one-piece suit. Any advice would be great

[eccles]

My mate had one of those suits then sold it again - OK for boats but a bit restrictive for beach work. Personally I use 1. Good quality thermal longjohns 2. Lined shirt topped with a good quality thick fleece and a waterproof over that which keeps the wind out so the fleece gives plenty of insulation. 3. Faux fur lined waterproof boots or waders if it's a wet night. With the exception of the waders, all the kit can be used in other scenarios too.

Well i tend to agree with eccles , i have the fladen flotation suit 2 piece , lovely and warm but a bugger to move around in i.e. casting !!! it can be a real pain !!!!!

Have a look here, providing you put some decent waterproofs over the top this will do the job for very little money.

I've got a fladden 2 piece. nce and warm. But don't believe the rubbish about wearing shorts and T-shits underneath. The stitching on the inner thigh gives way if you are walking long distances too. I've heard good things about Under Armour (http://www.justsocca.com/product_index.asp?selCManufacturer=UA)
I know a guy that fishes the flattie comps on the IOW midwinter that swears by it.

Can't be ar**d with heavy suits on the beach.

Often fish 3 or 4 nights a week in the winter with sensible layers under my Anyfishanywhere light suit which has done me well for four years without a tear!

My German Army snow hat is indispensable, though!

I tend to make do with jeans and trainers most of the time and never feel cold!



(Where there's no sense, etc ....?)

I used to have a Sundridge two piece. Handy if you ever ended up in the drink, but not actually anything special for keeping you warm. It was just an unnecessary expense in my opinion. I hung it in the shed for no more than a week after a trip once to find mice had chewed holes clean through it, foam and all!

So now I just wear a dark regatta waterproof coat (nice and warm) and a pair of waterproof thermal trousers from Millets, much better (and cheaper).

I've given up on the bottom half of my fladden two piece. I wear neoprene chest waders with jeans and tracky bottoms underneath.

I've got a Sundridge EnTec two piece suit and can't fault it!

I got a Sundrige SAS mk2 2 piece, excellent bit of kit, trouble with one piece they can get a tad warm, least with 2 piece you can just wear the jacket.

I've got an SAS one piece suit they do keep you warm and dry if you get the next size theres still room to cast there a great buy
