    Snosuit all the way. Havent tried the others but have been sitting across the boat many times from cold looking guys in other suits. Have even been nice enough to lend my coat to some of these chilly guys just so we dont have to go in.

    Swing into the new Thorne Brothers on 65 and you can check the snosuit out.

    Stopped in there the other day Mike and tried one on, they sure feel like a quality suit. I have an old Cabelas insulated Guide wear suit I would like to replace and I am sure I would be happy with any of these,but I am leaning twords the Snosuit. They sure did a nice job over at Thornes eh!

    They sure did. Glad to see them move into the neighborhood. They are about a mile south of our shop.

    Just a FYI – Gander Mountain now sells the snow Suit as well. They will price match others price on it as well. I’m also trying to decide. I think I’ll end up with the Sno-suit when all is done and said

    The redesign of the snosuit for the 2009-2010 winter is better than ever…They have lightened up the overall weight of this suit and have not taken an ounce of warmth out of it. I would like to get one of these myself..

    I purchased a pair of the Strikemaster bibs at the Ice Show last year. They kept me warm and dry the entire season.

    Since Strikemaster wouldn’t sell me only a parka at the Ice Fishing Show, I am purchasing the Cold Snap parka next week. I will give you my review later in the season.

    Unfortunately $250 each is what I found. Total of $525 w/tax. Definitely not cheap, but worth it!

    I gotta tell you this Sno-Suit is the real Deal. I was skeptical about it and thought that a Vex suit, Ice Armor or even a strike suit would compare and they dont. This suit is comfortable and having the articulated knees and elbows makes a world of difference, you dont feel all stiff and bound up. This thing lets virtually no wind thru it so a cruise up the river in 23 degrees temp was actually enjoyable. Finally the warmth, you just cant bundle up enough to even think you’ll stay as warm as wearing one of these suits. To sum it all up this is the most amazing cold weather gear I have ever wore and as an avid winter outdoorsman between fishing, skiing, wheeling and snowmobiling I dont know how I have gone so long with out a Sno-Suit, simply amazing

    Sno-Suit is now part of my winter arsenol

    Has no one tried the Artic Armour by IDI gear? Great stuff plus if you go through the ice you will float!

    I got the Arctic Armor Plus, best suit I’ve ever owned in my life and the price is right, if you fall through the ice you’ll float. It’s a no brainer IMO.

    From what I’ve seen they are all nice suits ,are warm, and made with quality, but the AA suit floats that was a huge part of my decision when I bought one. Works great as my snowmobile suit too.
