Fish307.com and a few others have them. It's 119.00 for the bibs and 119.00 for the coat.

Thanks guys. Do either one of you have any idea if there is any adjustability in them? My son is 7 and wears a size 8. It's not something I would like to be every year or every other so I'd like to but like a size 12 or 14 but I don't want him "swimming" in it either if you know what I mean..

No idea but am interested to hear a report if you get one. My son just turned 5, and I'm considering one for him next year.

ALL the Striker suits allow about 6" of length adjustment in the hem...velcro allows the inseam to "grow" as they do.  Torso length is handled by the adjustable shoulder straps.

They can'd do a lot about waist, but most kids it is the length that gets you...and Striker solves that!

If I\'m not fishing, I\'m probably thinking about fishing...And if I\'m thinking about fishing, I\'m probably not getting much else done so, I might as well go fishing...Yeah, I just said that!

I got our 3 year old grand son the Stricker snow bib although the sizes start at 6, the snow bib allowed for more adjustment. Actually with a parka underneath, they fit pretty good and are easy to get on and off due to the full length side zipper. I searched for good bibs in Columbia and even North Face. Non compared to Stricker in price or performance. Some day I will post a picture of him in his suite hawling in a nice perch with grandpa. Pretty cute.
