Are all Flotation / Survival Suits Created Equal??

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I love it, very warm, and IMHO, a floatsuit is worth every penny.
I've worn it for ice fishing, for BOQ, and it has held up. The only thing is that it is not 100% waterproof. After a day out in the rain, it will be damp around some areas.

Happy Holidays all,

:D I have the Buoy o Buoy and love it.Have'nt tried the test floating thing yet but for warmth out on Quinte in the Fall and Spring it's been great.

Might also use it icefishing in January.

Went out icefishing for the first time this year with my new Atlantic Class Mustang suit. Even in the -18 with the wind yesterday, I was toasty as warm. Plus when one fish got off at the hole, I had to dive in for it with my arms :lol: The neoprene cuffs kept the water out :!:

I've warn both the Bouy o bouy suits and the Mustang suits. I find that the Mustang suits beat Bouy o Bouy's product in every categoty, water resistance, floatation, warmth and comfort.
