Flotation Suit Deal?

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.

Well i went tonight, and they only had 1 large suit left. They had a lot of mediums and other sizes though. That is the Canadian tire in Orleans on Innes.

For 200$ it's a nice deal, but now to see how it will perform on the ice.

Doesn't look exactly like the one pictured above, but it's almost completely red, with a little bit of gray.

Hey Landshark

I have a friend that ordered two of those Fladen two piece and now has one for sale as it is the wrong size. Do you have experience with it. I have a one piece Buoy O Buoy and while it is extremely warm, I am a little tired of having the top part around my waist while in my heated portable and I am looking forward to a 2 piece.

Any opinions on this UK Brand. A bit of a drawback is that it is not TC approved.

Fladen suits are great, I own two and I might be interested in the one your buddy has for sale if you arent. 4 of my buddies that fish hard with me have already ordered them. No they wont confine with canadian regulations but that isnt important to me . I dont care if they arent US coast Guard approved either. Im wearing not to obey the law but to maybe someday save my A@@. Just keep the life jackets in the boat. I actually jumped in the water with mine out to test it. I think it could have floated 3 people easliy. Excellent floatation and good warmth. These suits I believe are from a Swedish company so that should tell you something. If you want any more info on them at all let me know Id be happy to share or you give you the emails of some other fellows that have them so you can ask them
