I purchased one from Mark a few weeks ago. I can't tell you enough how much more comfortable wearing this new tech material outer clothing has made my ice fishing that more enjoyable. I'm no longer looking like the "Michelin-Man" and wobbling onto & off the ice. Having a handful of layered clothing is almost a thing of the past.

My 24yr old son, Nathan, has "confiscated it" a few times and worn it too. He said it beats the h*ll out of Carharts.

As for safety.... THE SUITE MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE. It floats, which is a far cry from the other makes & models on the market.

I just wish I'd have bought one a few years ago when they first came on the market.

Mrphish42 said it best: "It's like wearing a shanty"

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

I have been looking at these suits and they seem like a good investment. Any idea how sizes run?? I did not see any info on their site. I am 6'4", 210lbs. I would like to get one big enough with some room for layering and room to grow, at least around the midsection.

SWANTUCKY,the suits run 1/2 size bigger than what the lable reads.Also, do not figure in layering clothes. All I wear under my suit is long john tops & bottoms and have to take the jacket off once inside the shanty. It's hard to believe something so light in weight can keep you toasty warm.........Mark

Nope!!!!!!!!!!No layering at all.......I only wear my regular street clothes (jeans and sweat shirt).......Works out perfect .....no extra insulation required.......

Put it in my planner to call you tomorrow. I know how warm you guys say these suits are but I still want some room. I fish and ride the lakes in Canada and seldom use a shanty. Daytime highs are below zero at times, let alone riding in during the wee hours.
This was a pic from a few years ago. Taken just before we took off on a 25 mile each way backcountry trip on snowmobiles. I am the good looking guy on the left:D

Guys, I'll be placing the order tonight. I have a 6 suit minimum purchase and have met that, so this will probably be the last time I order this season.Be careful and safe, we have a long way to go.The long term forcast looks great with no warm up in sight.....Mark

Nice to talk to you Mark and thanks for waiting on me! I was out plowing the drive and it hit me, "you forgot to call on the suit dummy!" Can't wait until they come in! I'll have to finagle my work schedule so I can make it down and check out your shop.

wife got me one for Chrismas and what was stated previously is true, toasty-no need to layer, they do run a little big, but a great feature that hasn't been stated is that they have LOTS of pockets. It's obvious a lot of thought was put into the design.
