Rooster SuperTherm 4mm LongJohn – 2XL
Rooster has only gone and done it! I love this. As previously mentioned, I haven’t owned a LongJohn before, but this is a decent bit of kit! The feeling is fantastic; as stated on the website, they have used ‘enhanced fabrics’ with an updated fit. They also mention this has an updated relief flap – and I can confirm it sits in a much better position for me!
The suit has pre-bent legs and arms, making it feel really nice when worn, and again, being a LongJohn, it frees up the arms and upper body to move around efficiently. I like that there are no Velcro shoulder straps to fiddle with, meaning it’s easier and quicker to get into. The reinforced areas again make this feel like it will last a long time and be a trusty bit of kit! The inner is warm and comfy, mixed with it being a 4mm suit; this will keep you going in colder conditions. I would still use this with a rashy of some kind and potentially a cag or jacket. I love the drainage holes at the back of the legs for quicker drainage – I’ve never seen this before on any wetsuits!
I’ve noticed that Rooster claims that various bits of kit work best when paired with other bits, etc., which makes me feel I will need other items to get the best out of whichever bit of kit I have just purchased. Conversely, it’s good to give ideas of how best to pair items for anyone learning about outdoor clothing.
The customer service from Rooster is also excellent. I’m slightly between the sizes listed on their website, so I spoke to them and organized the best option. Go check them out!
