Striker Trekker Suit

Has anyone bought a striker trekker suit yet? I found a great deal on the suit ($200). Just wondering how it is compared to the predator?

Not nearly as heavy. I bought the bibs for my son last Christmas and they are great for fall muskie fishing and early spring fishing but will also be fine for the winter. Really cold days he may need his long johns underneath. I looked at the coat the other day and it is lighter also. Will need a sweatshirt and maybe a long john top under the coat if outside all day. Probably a suit that can be utilized from late fall to mid spring but on those really negative below zero days you will need additional layers.

So you think that with layers it would be fine. Generally if I know I’m going to fishing outside all day I wear a couple base layers, sweatshirt, etc…

Hard to say as everyone’s tolerance level is a little different to the cold but you will need to have layers on a really cold day. The coat and bibs will definitely keep you dry.

I bought the Trekker bibs for $100 and sold them for the same amount shortly after trying them on. I couldn’t stand the fact that the front thigh pockets had velcro on them, and the “sharp” half of the velcro was on the part of the pocket that would scrape against the back of your bare hand or catch any soft glove when you stuck them in the pocket. I hate velcro pockets.

I have the predator and bought the Trekker suit for extra. Wore it once and sold it. Don’t like the material

buy the predator or hardwater you will be a lot happier

I bought the Trekker jacket. $100. Figured it is a little big but fits good and is really light. I’m going to put my heated Milwaukee jacket under it. That’s light as well. I’ll also have on regular under clothing as well.

We’ll see how it works in that combo. Coat feels great. I have no issue with the fit or fabric.

Here’s a comparison of the jackets.

Nice, however, would be a little better if one could read the header text!

Just try zooming in on the picture.

I don’t happen to know much about the Trekker suit because I already have the predator and climate suits but thought I would pass along that Sportsman’s warehouse has them online for $90 per piece. Took a brief look at them at the show yesterday and they definitely have less features than the other suits but may be a good option on a budget.
