survival suit

[hawkeye625]

I'm looking to buy a survival suit for fishing cold weather and wondered if you guys have any suggestions as to where to buy and what brand to buy.

The only place I've ever seen them is at the Pittsburgh outdoor show.

Thanks,

Jeff

I have the Fladen suit bought from the same place in UK. Good company to deal with & most times are cheaper than the Mustangs.

About 10 of my friends have bought Fladen, cant beat the price and quality. The only drawback is not approved by the USCG

If you are going to buy a floater suit, spend the money and buy quality the first time around.

I use my floater on open water for spring kings, fall walleye on the bay of quinte, winter fishing the lower niagara river, and harbours/rivermouths from shore, and also for ice-fishing early and late season.

Due to the variety of conditions that can be faced, I wanted a high-quality survival suit that would last and also that was...WATERPROOF!

I've had a cheaper floater suit before that was water resistant but you'd get wet after a couple of hours of driving wind and rain, and it deteriorated after about 5 years.

The ONLY floater suit that I have found to be basically a Gore-Tex rainsuit shell with the floater suit guts underneath is the Mustang Integrity HX Flotation Suite- http://www.mustangsurvival.com/products/product.php?id=547

It's not a cheap suit at $500 CDN but I am extremely pleased with how DRY and warm it keeps me...not to mention safe if anything were to ever go wrong.

I just wish they made it in 2-piece but they do not (Only the Integrity HX jacket...not pants)
