Peter Miller Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Got my suit. XL size. A bit too tall for me and I seem to be fatter than I thought. Just did not fit at all, especially round the posterior! Even after Christmas my wallet made it too tight! Not a problem. I have a friend who is a keen fisherman. Took it down the road and it was a perfect fit. Got my money back the same day. Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I ordered mine on 27th and it arrived 2 days later 29th. Thats very fast service and at Christmas to boot!!! Perfect fit!! Will be testing it out fully on 4th Jan on the Orme!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cantwell Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 ilooks a great thing for the field and slope, sick of freezing down the field, and not being able to slope, cos of the cold, am 12 stone, medium build, with an ample gut (well, i am over 55!!) what size you reckon? and can you drive in it? dont fancy changing into it at the slope!!! great find, and many thanks, dont fancy that black cover over my face though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Alan, I have met you a couple of times, and from memory I would reckon an XL would do you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I would agree with Tim. There is sufficient "gut" space in my XL one... I have the belt set and have about a foot of belt hanging off... (and I am not a beanpole!!) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cantwell Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 cheers Tim, but can you drive in it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Flyer Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Posted by Alan 4 on 30/12/2011 11:23:28:cheers Tim, but can you drive in it?? I can drive in mine so long as I have the heater turned off and all the windows open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I dont see why you couldnt drive in it... but you might need to turn the heating off or you could cook!!! lol looks like DF and I cross posted then!!

RGPuk Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 If it helps anyone, for size comparison: At 6ft tall, 32 waist, 43 chest, 33 inside leg, ape length arms attached to wide shoulders - the XL fits me great. Not restrictive but not too baggy either even with just shorts and a sweatshirt, but with enough room for fleece and jeans too if required. Tested, so far, in -3C, plus windchill from a 25mph blow. An excellent and very warm 30 quid's worth. Ro. Edited By RGPuk on 30/12/2011 12:47:18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It provides far too good a target for the shotgun toting Yorkshire farmers, when I'm 'testing' the lift available on some happened-across moorland lump on a Guerilla Sloping mission. ........

Weyfly Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 What a bargain! Mine has arrived, 5'10"=XL, and am just going to try it out if the wind co-operates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weyfly Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 This suit is as warm as toast, no drafts allowed in, wore it in the car to drive both ways and its waterproof as I found out when the clouds came down to envelope the slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwyn Gee Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I got a similar thing from Lidl, a pair of quilted winter overalls £16.99. No hood to these but Santa had already brought me a couple of fur lined trapper style hats. Been as warm as toast flying all tho' the winter. Seems to have become the club uniform as more and more appeared at the field. Only snag is like all their bargains, you have to wait for them to come round again. I snapped up a second pair the next time they appeared. Now that I've started sloping they'll get even more use. Alwyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
