I just picked up the I-2 bibs, so far they seem perfect what i plan on using them for. The main reason i picked these up over the other suits out there (Ice Armour, Stryker, HT Polar Fire, Strikemaster, etc) was because they are the lightest weight ones i could find. I get too warm in other suits and these are something i feel i can use as rain gear in the early summer and fall. All you really need is something that is waterproof and wind proof to stay warm. These do the trick on both fronts, plus they have the padded knees and butt for extra durability. The sleeve design was much better as well-nice extra long elastic cuff like a hooded sweatshirt would have. This is important when ripping across the lake on a wheeler or in windy situations-keeps the cold out. I plan on using them on P2 when it opens back up in Feb/March.
