Winters are warmer with Alder

Advantages: V good value
Disadvantages: Restricted movement

...tried on a couple of Alder suits that were the only ones that came near my price barrier, about £125 seemed average. Nothing fitted so ever onwards. I reach the last shop in town and there it is. An Alder winter suit for £99, and it fits. Mission accomplished. I now have a suit that will keep me warm from October until June.
