Nessa, I own two Musto aquafleeces and I have to say they are the best bit of sailing kit I own. Can't comment on the rooster ones, but I'd buy Musto ones until I give up sailing, they are that good.

I have a Rooster one and my younger bro had a crewsaver one, both equally as good.

+1 for the Rooster one. Very pleased with it.

I have a Rooster Aqua Fleece (the original one). It is about 5 years old now and starting to show signs of wearing our (the outer skin is cracking around the armpit areas).

Still good life and I will look around when I replace. My only complaint of this particular model is the lack of an elasticated waist to you need to tuck it in to something.

I'll second that, the Magic Marine top was a lot less than the competition when I bought mine a few years ago and it's done a great job ever since.

I like the Gill Thermo fleece. Very warm and very breathable... I wear it all year round in fact.

The Rooster socks are brilliant as well. A thermal fleecy pair plus their metalite ones. What does Steve say? Very roasty toasty!!!

The Gill top is excellent, but dearer than the rooster.
