Try a different color jacket as it didn’t seem to have every color in every size when I looked.

They are not coast guard approved or rated but that is the only real reason that I bought my suit about 3 years ago and it works great from October thru April.

I know you didn’t suggest it, but I do not believe the Striker coats are Coast Guard approved so you would still need to have proper flotation devices in the boat.
That said…I have used my climate jacket in Spring and Fall and really liked it. I find them very comfy considering their bulk. I tend to never wear my life jacket, but when it was that cold any time in the water could be deadly.

Got it
Thanks

definitely understand that proper floatation would still be required on the boat and not necessarily suggesting that the suit should replace a coast guard approved safety vest. My intention however would be to use it as such.

Yes look at all the different colors. They didn’t have the duck camo color in my size which was a bummer so I had to settle for black/gray but they have a good amount of sizes available in most colors.

They are 40% off at Dicks Sporting Goods as well…

I’m going to bring my Predator suit along to a lake this summer when the water is nice and warm. I plan to put it on and jump off the boat, just for s____ and giggles. I want to see how much float it has.

Same here that camo would have matched my cabelas northern flight bibs. Hopefully the black grey with camo bibs isnt to hideous. It doesnt matter on the ice anyways. Anxiously waiting for delivery

Can the shell of this jacket be used as rain coat in the summer or is it to heavy?

Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered some bibs.

I think the new Frabill float suit is CG approved.

My buddy has the climate jacket. I think it would be way too warm to use during the summer. Should work well though for early spring/late fall

How do the striker suits run in the size dept.? A little big or do they run a little small?I have been looking at them but not sure about buying online.I like to try that stuff on,hate returning stuff.

I would order one size larger than normal if ordering a climate jacket. I think they run a little on the smaller side like a half size smaller. Bibs do run more true to size.

From my research I’ve come to the conclusion that the climate sizes are different than the other models. Im 5’9 185 pounds and the medium climate bibs fit me very well. I ordered the jacket in size large. I’ve heard the bibs are true to size and the jacket runs a little small

Gander Mtn. also has them for the same price and if you enter in GMT5 you get 15$ off plus free shipping. 145$ plus tax

Exactly what I found as well. Thankfully I tried them on before buying or I would have had the wrong size parka. You will most likely need a size larger parka than normal in the climate, but the bibs were fine in my normal size.

The outer shell would be too warm to use as a rain coat in the summer unless it was like 60 degrees or something.
I never close the vents in my coat and I fish outside in some really cold conditions and I never get cold. This was the best investment I have made for ice fishing and that includes my gas augers and insulated fish house. They are THAT good IMO.

Anyone have any info on the Lake Effect Heat Sink jackets? Not much out there, seems they are more geared towards sled riding.

Really good deal on them at GM..

How do they compare for warmth with the Predator or Hardwater lineup?
