Striker Ice Climate Vs. Frabill FXE Snosuit

[gonehunting]

I currently have the Frabill FXE Snosuit. I can't say enough good things about this ice outerwear. However, I like the idea of added floatation to this type of suit and am looking at the Striker Ice Climate suit. Is the Striker as durable and offer the same amount of comfort. I also like the idea of having a removable liner. Is the quality as good when it comes to materials, stitching, etc? Any opinions would be great. Having three kids at home is driving my decision when going out on early ice. Money well spent in my opinion.

Going on my 3rd season with the climate suit and I love it. I never get cold in it. I leave the vents open and even outside on cold days its still comfy. Only complaint I have is the chest pockets in the bibs have a small opening and I can hardly get my hand in there.

Overall I think its well made and love the versatility with the zip out liner.

Like the Capt. , will be my third year as well and am admittedly, to a fault, not very good on gear, and so far it has held up very well. Earlier stitching issues seemed to have been addressed..... without any issues for me anyway. The talking heads that have lamented the velcro versus snaps.....so far are just talking heads.....with it holding well. Likewise, really like the versatility of it and have never been chilled. Actually, too hot has been more of an issue. To no fault of the suit, can say it did not stand up up well to a long period of direct contact with a big buddy Knees seem a little low though, but did not shop at short fat guys r us.

Everything Striker does is top notch. That climate suit will be the next suit I get after my Heavy Striker Ice Suit gets old. It may be a while though its built to last and WARM!

I'm biased, but i ran the climate 2 years ago....best suit for multiple choices hands down. The float feature is just icing in the cake. I switched to the predator last year purely because the suit was too warm for my taste, this year I might pick up a guardian or duck blind suit just because i carry plenty of my own insulation....haha

All the quality issues have been fixed, hands down, it was a hiccup, it's been addressed, no need to re hash that... Any questions can be answered by us staff here, via email, or by phone direct at striker....we're all normal guys who just like to fish, and be safe!

Here's to another LONG ice season!
