People were talking about the stitching coming loose and they said that when they called Striker, they stood behind the product and fixed it.

I know several years ago they were having issues with crotches blowing out, they have stated they have reinforced the recent models. They really listen to what people respond and seem to try to improve or fix the problems.

That's good to know. My suggestion would be to put the snakeskin material around the bottom of the legs so it covers the bottom of the cuff where ever it's adjusted to so it doesn't wear out.

Frabill needs to make their suits floatable for the price they want. That being regular retail price not sale price of course.

I'm thinking about getting the Predator coat to go with my Hardwater bibs instead of the Hardwater coat because the bibs will create a double layer across most of my chest and back and if I get the Hardwater coat it maybe too warm. I know I can open the vents to cool down but would rather not have them open all the time or keep opening and closing them. The main reason I chose the Hardwater bibs is because the material is heavier and more durable. Has anyone else done this and if so what's your thoughts on it and would you do it again?

I think its a good idea if your unsure about which one to choose. I have the hardwater, and agree its warm, but its easier to cool down than warm up on the ice. I really like the 660 d shell. I've never went home because I was too warm

You're right about that. The Hardwater bibs are so warm that I have to open up some of the zippers to vent out some of the heat. I had to do that even today and it was 0 with a -25 wind chill. That's what got me thinking about the bibs and coat over lapping for most of the chest and back.
