If the water temp is below 50 or the air below 35 I wear a Mustang Atlantic class float suit. I won't swim but my family will have a body to bury. Nothing beats a Buddy heater and a 10 pound tank of propane.

I just wear a lot of layers and my regular heavy comfortable coat with a 4x PVC hooded rain jacket as needed. My regular rain jacket will not fit over top of the heavy gear... the giant 4x really keeps the wind and rain out.

I have a Striker float suit as well. Mine is the Climate model. Both the parka and bibs have a removable layer, so you don't have to be dressed for -20 when it is +20. I've been very please with it.

I wore an Ice Armor Rise float parka last week here in Minnesota both trolling and casting for several days. Temps in the teens with wind and mixed precip. No complaint with the parka. I figure its money well spent.

I have an Ascent and it is easy to cast in I wore mine for a week the 2nd week of October up in Canada did some casting and some trolling. Very nice suit never got cold I fact got steamed up while casting. As U can imagine it would is a heavy suit. I would buy it again. It is also a float suit
