Waterproof Suits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok guys whats your views on the best waterproof fishing suits. As i have returned an Anyfish Anywhere suit because it started leaking like a seive particularly the smok top. Still not had a replacement despite returning it nearly 4 weeks ago (BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE) . They are well designed but the quality of workmanship is not that good.

Just wondering what you use/recomend?

As i think i might need to get another for wet weather and keep the AFAW for light showers/windy conditions.

Cheers.

Re: Waterproof Suits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only a oppinion
i know its the dreaded WAFI boys gear but i get alot of it from work as most of my work is outside no matter what time of year or weather.

iv found that the GILL offshore gear is excellent for the worst the sea and elements at you and keeps you warm, but is priced to suit the quality(around £340 for top and bottoms )
the henny lloyd stuff is bit lighter and cheaper ,makes a great second alternitve , the only down side to this is that in the winter you will need a few more layers (around £220)
few years ago my company tryed a few floation suits , but thay could not hold out the weather for long enough,ie:-6-8 hour at a time.
but out of the ones we tryed, the best 1 we had was the sundridge suits , but no where near as good as the gill and henry lloyd gear
i know its pricey but worth it (esp when works paying )
