Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Striker makes a floating suit that's amazing. I have the Climate parka that's basically a 3-1 and the Hardwater bibs.
Warm, floats, tons of pockets, allows you to move.

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | I have a Clam Ice Armor one. Not sure which model off the top of my head though. Love it for ice fishing. Haven't had the need to use it for late fall musky fishing.
It does feel like you are walking with a load in your pants though with the padded rear of the bibs.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Frabill Suit for regular use with my flipover shelter, time outside in bitter temps somewhat limited, good all purpose Ice fishing and Fall fishing suit. All the Frabill suits have articulated elbows and knees, padded elbow, fanny, and knees, and lots of well thought out pockets and D rings, etc.
Frabill Ice Suit for cold to bitter temps, mostly outside, some in a shelter. great suit for below zero fishing.
Frabill Snow Suit for the really cold stuff. Impossible to get cold in that suit, but it IS heavy, not something you want to walk a couple miles in, even with the vents open.
I have all three. I use the Frabill Suit the most, and will be wearing it tomorrow in mid twenties fishing on the Rainy River for big Pike. |

| How does the Frabill Suit compare to Cabelas Guidewear? I love my guidewear bibs but I am looking at getting a new jacket |

| I just bought a Mustang Anti-Exposure Suit and wore it last week on water. First off, I could not believe how warm I was in that suit!! Plenty of warmth in the coldest of temps! I was worried about it beig too bulky to cast but I had no issues at all. Even fly casted in it fine! Most importantly it will save my life on big water. For $389 I couldn't think of a better fishing related purchase. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The Frabill Suit is a Ice suit. Wore it all day in freezing temps, snow, sleet, and big winds today on the Rainy River, and did get a bit chilled at dusk, but I was sitting and not casting or moving much. All in all a great day. |
