I purchased one 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. (I'm only wearing long-johns on my legs with the suite).
Already I've had a learning curve in not wearing too many layers.
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/Ice phiser said it best: "It's like wearing a shanty"
YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
