Hardwater only way to go, u will never be cold!!
I'm on my 4th year and haven't wore them out yet.
Thanks for the replies everyone. definitely got me thinking more about the Striker line. I should have mentioned i'm fishing in temps anywhere from 0C to -40c on the coldest days. most of the time when the temp drops to the lowest i am warm and snug in my permy but i still like to get out and set tip ups or hole hop a bit. Wind protection is a huge factor in Saskatchewan.
Pretty much all the ice fishing suits will provide you adequate warmth. The other features are what makes each one stand out. If you want a floating suit, Striker is the way to go. If you want waterproof, Cabela's guidewear is the only truly waterproof one of the ones you listed. There are various other brands that don't get as much hype as the Striker, frabill, ice armor etc. Simms and Huk are two that come to mind, I've never tried them out but I know some guys that use them and have no complaints. I'm going on my 6th season of the Frabill I3s and have no complaints. If/When I upgrade, it'll either be the Cabela's guidewear or Simms.
. I fish on my knees a lot in slush, ect and have never had “wet” knees , so I’d say my hardwater is waterproof. Do the cabelas float? By the way?
