Anybody wear these?? What are they like and what do they cost?

I've seen or used several variations of these suits while working with several different Ice & Cold Water Rescue units.
Several different types are used by shore crews as a safety matter. There are 2 main manufactures out there with quality products. They are fairly comfortable to wear and work in but can be a bit pricey. Here are the manufacturers, style and prices I got from our present supplier.
Sterns: Suits: $320
Parka: $160
Jacket: $ 135
Mustang Survival: Suits: $325
Parka: $126
Jacket: $135
These are just an idea of prices, alot is based on the extra you can get like d-rings, extra pockets, ect., and sizes.
Hope this helps. ;)

Thank you. I would like to try one and see how bulky or comfortable they are. You dont pay that kind of money without seeing it first.
Thanks again

You might be able to try ebay for one of these. A couple of us just picked up what the auction called "US NAVY SUBMARINE DECK EXPOSURE SUIT". They were $65 ($50 plus $15 shipping). They were also used, but in very good condition. I wore mine at Sodus Bay this year when it was about zero degrees and 30 mph winds and was warm all day.
