I been thinking about buying a flotation suit.the mustang integrity is around 500 which i cant put the money out right now.I found one on net called Sundrige flotation suit made in england .For around 150.00 for coat and bibs i saw anotherpost like it was four years old said they were buying one and said it was certified and got good reviews but couldnt find any reviews.The clam model isnt really a certified flotation suit but will keep you afloat.Anybody own one?Ive been off the ice for about a month due to bronchitis and  im chompin at the bit to get back out.they always say you get what you pay for.

I researched them and they seem really nice. As for as sizes go, did yours work out? Seen a few posts where the XL's run a lil small on the camo suit. Also how warm are they?  Thanks.

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.

What color did you guys get. I know the blue on is less insulated but is it nice for OHIO weather? I just like the blue one because it matches my shanty ;D. I will be getting a set but not until next season.

Red & Black... but if I had some extra dough, I think I would've bought the green & black

I have the blue Ice Armour. I recommend it highly best suit I have ever had. The say you can float in it. Luckily I haven't had to test it in the water yet. It is very warm wind and water proof I love it.
