Review
One of the most vital parts of fishing in the winter is keeping warm and knowing this I decided to get kitted out with thermals. One of the many items I purchased was the Sundridge Storm Performance Bib n Brace. You can expect to pay £32-£60 I paid £32.99.

I have used the Sundridge Storm Performance Bib n Brace now about 5 times and love them, they are comfortable and very very warm. I use tracksuit bottoms under them and have been out in freezing cold temps and not even noticed how cold it was until I got home and removed them. The only reason I use tracksuit under them is to keep certain items like smokes and phone dry. They are very waterproof and I have stood out for over 4 hours in torrential rain in them and kept as dry as a desert. The only time I have felt wet is because of the sweat when I have had to walk to a mark.

They are not without small flaws though. This is personal preference, but I feel the pocket flaps could do with being about 1cm longer to help keep water out of the pockets. I would not have to wear tracksuit pants under them if they made the pockets a little more watertight. Also if you need a quick pee it would really help if they added a smaller zip next to the main central one to give easy access, trying to go for a pee in torrential rain is not an easy task having the pull the main zip down.

Rating
8 out of 10 A great piece of gear and at the price a bargain. Yes it has a couple of very small flaws and if not for them i would happily give them 10 out of 10

Glad you mentioned this I never realized the zip had 2 zips on and because of this gets 9 out of 10 loses one point due to the pockets letting water in flaps just not good enough imo.
