My biggest problem with bibs is they like to rub my nipples raw even if they are loose lol. Anyone making a floating suit that are just pull over pants like ski pants and not bibs?

TMI.....TMI....LOL!!! laugh

What's the difference between the climate and the predator with a light coat under it?

the climate is kinda like both of the other suits combined, without the liners close to the "lite" or whatever its called now and with the liners in its very close to the hardwater

The climate suit is gonna be the most versatile of all of them with the removable liners that offer 175 gr. In the bibs. The predator is their middle of the road sorta speak on the insulation factor at 100 gr. but still a very warm suit. Both offer same ventilation features with leg zip, radial and back vents. Predator took over the lite model from years prior. The hardwater model will be the next step down from the climate on the insulation factor with same venting minus the radial vents. All suits feature the surefloat technology.

Amazon might be the place to go they carry the Striker stuff. I have been talking myself in and out of buying the Climate jacket the last couple days. I have a $50 Amazon gift card that's burning a hole which would get me the jacket for $189. I have a Carhartt jacket that does just fine and I'm in the wheelhouse most of the time so the need isn't really there.

I really like my Striker Suit. Only issue I had was the crotch busted open in my bibs but they have since taken care of that issue. I have tried on all their suits and every one has been very high quality. I wouldnt hesitate to buy any striker suit.

I would suggest that you try them on somewhere before you buy them on line! You may find out that you need a bigger size then you think! wink

Yeah I would like to try it on before I buy. I am by Marshall MN also 1 hr from Sioux Falls SD if someone down there sells it?

If all else fails I will try and make it to the ST. Paul Ice Fishing show next year and buy it there hopefully!

Thanks GUys……I like the Climate Jacket but like the dark grey color of the Hardwater…what to do!

email Striker or call them like I did to find the nearest dealer to you. But, I did end up going with a FXR suit since I sled and ice fish which has the "FAST" flotation in it. wink

LMAO you just did it right there! I'm the same way with most purchases.

I purchased the Striker suit the first or 2nd year they came out with the ice gear and I haven't looked back. It's incredibly warm and keeps the wind/rain/snow whatever off of you.

Well I talked myself into it today. Went to Marine General today and tried them on. Truthfully I could have gone either way. Medium or large on the jacket. Bibs will be before next season. I finally settled on medium and ordered on Amazon a few minutes ago.

I run a strong small/medium if you will 5'8 and about a buck 65. The large fit all right with just a bit more room underneath and the medium fit good but just a bit more snug but a bit less bulky and therefore a bit more comfortable.

I figure with this jacket and liner you don't need much more underneath. A good base layer and a light sweatshirt and you're good to go. No need to worry about a hoodie or anything heavier than a sweatshirt underneath.

Looking forward to getting it now. Hope it gets here by next Friday we are heading to LOTW.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
