Mustang survival suits

[izzyfender]

Hey guys since ice fishing season is coming up, im planning on buying new clothing. ive been looking at the mustang survival suits and i was wondering how warm are these suits? i know they are great for floatation and hypothermia protection for when you go in, but when you are on top of the ice would they keep you warm in -30 degree weather? i live in alberta and some days can get brutally cold so i want a suit that can keep me warm on frigid days. any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!

I had to wear a mustang suit for 30 days out on an icebreaker doing research in the Bering Sea, and I found them to be ridiculously warm.  Layer clothes underneath differently depending on conditions.  They won't really keep you from getting hypothermia if you're in the water for an extended period of time though as they're not sealed around your ankles, so the cold water will still rush up your legs.  But they're definitely better than most typical icefishing garb at delaying it.  I hate them with a passion because they were a pain and we were forced to wear them.  And if it is 25 or 30 degrees out, they get really hot.  But in colder temperatures, they can definitely keep you toasty.

I've not had the chance to wear mine in the cold yet since I just got it in june but I can tell you that when I tried it on then it sure was warm . They sure look like their warm.

I don't have the Mustang suit, but my Stearns I570 one piece is very warm....  I was actually thinking of selling my one piece and getting a two piece just to have the ability to take the jacket off during the warmer days.

The suit is a little stiff on the really cold days, but you get used to it and it does losen up a bit with use.
