I know the lockout bib and jacket were made by Striker for Eskimo. I think they are the hardwater, but I’m not sure. I did a lot of research when they first came out.

I picked up the Lockout bibs at the end of last season. No ice in southeast MI yet, so I have no review.

This past weekend I spoke to an Eskimo rep at the fishing show in MI. Eskimo is now making their own suits. There are two new models with flotation, Legend and Keeper. They also have the flag chaser which doesn’t have flotation.

The Legend has 100g chest and 60g arms for the jacket. The Keeper has 80g chest and 60g arms. The material is looks a little heavier for the Legend, but both look to be well built. You can see the details at Eskimo’s website.

Anyway, Eskimo was running a special with the shop offering a discount on either full set with a free storage bag. Perhaps there will be some closeouts on the lockouts.
