Two years ago I bought a Frabil Ice Suit. It is comfortable, very warm and will more than likely last several years.
When I bought it I didn't give floating suits a second thought. I figured they were priced so much higher there was no need to even get wound up over one.
I should have looked. I think the peace of mind that you get from knowing you have help built in to your suit would make for a more relaxing mind set at different times of the season.
I decided this year I was going to get it over with and buy another suit. I had a floating suit in my basket online made it through all the screens when a life jacket made by Mustang popped up in an add........it was my size, U.S Coast Guard certified and it was $41.00 dollars with free shipping.
Looks like I will be waiting for the floatation suit another year.
How many off you wear a life jacket as opposed a floating suit?
