Just wish they made a version of the floatation suit for freshwater - warm /you float / and as tough as nails

Hi mate, I use the Nash Zero Tolerance second skin. Top and bottoms. Very, very comfortable (doesn't feel like you're wearing them) and extremely warm. I used them at the Linear meet and the guys will tell you it was very cold, I kept the bottoms on the whole trip as they were so comfortable.

May be a bit pricey at around £25, but they've certainly been worth the money in my opinion.

The top comes with a detachable hood which can be very handy.

Called Second Skin because the fabric is worn next to the skin where it is most effective.
Produced from a luxurious micro-fibre which is soft, supple lightweight and exceptionally comfortable. It will feel like a second skin. Second Skin will keep you warm and dry in all conditions because it breathes without any loss of thermal properties, transferring moisture and perspiration to the outside. For maximum comfort, wear directly underneath Nash Zero Tolerance Xtreme Duckdown Jacket and Trousers.

Hi Richard,

Titan Jacket & sallopettes for me, best all round all weather clothing on the market.

Well Richard i ll tell you what i wear.
From my time in Norway ive learnt its all about layers and quality not quantity
Ive got some thermal underwear that the Norwegian SF use,its like normal long johns but has string vest material on the inside,toasting.
Ive then got some other morino wool stuff from norway ontop of that and then if its really cold i wear a snug pack jacket ontop of that.
I ll try and find a link to the thermal gear as it really is good stuff,to warm for over her most of the time.
Other gear i wear is long johns with a diving undersuit ontop and then gortex waterproofs.
Sallopetes and flotation suits are great but its all about what you have on under them.
Remember LAYERS

Cheers guys - totally agree with the layers and a good hat as most of your heat goes from there ( mines heads empty so loose more )

[pingu]

my winter gear was brought for me xmas last year is this fishrite set

very very warm but quite bulky (if gets warm and want to carry)its a pain but never get cold whilst waiting for mr pike to come and play whilst wearing

The Musto thermal undeis stuff is good. 'John Norris' had an offer on it recently, its not the cheapest but boy is it warm!

[fishypaul]

for my winter fishing i prefer not to wear a thermal suit,i like to wear layers and top it all off with a top quality coat with bib and brace and thermal boots,
if it gets too warm i can easily take the coat off,not quite so easy to take a suit off,

this is a coarse anglers view,i dont fish cold beaches and piers any more
