MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Striker released their new winter line of suits and accessories. The lightweight Apex suit looks killer, but a little bit of sticker shock...https://strikerbrands.com/collections/new-arrivals
One purchase I regret somewhat is buying the whole Hardwater suit a couple years ago. I should've just bought the bibs. I rarely wear the jacket and it usually sits in the truck, unused. I find the bibs along with proper layering and a heavy, hooded sweatshirt keep me plenty warm. At least for how I fish. Next time, just the bibs for me. I have Guidewear for open water fishing, so no use there, either.
I have some plain Clam bibs uninsulated and a Guide Gear Parka from Sportsmans Guide. Start out walking out on the lake with the Parka and take it off almost right away. Never put it back on the rest of the day. That is all but one day when it was -23 Degrees. -11 when I left. Parka's are just too hot for me.

yeah I think it comes down to how each person fishes, but I'm right there with you. I have the Climate suit and even with both jacket and bibs lining removed, I wasn't using the jacket a whole lot. Mostly due to the bulk. That's why I think a lighter suit that is still warm could be a winner. Also take a look at the Renegade pullover. It's a nice addition to bibs only as it's heavier than a sweatshirt, but lighter than a jacket but durable and waterproof and zippered sides should make for easy on and off. https://strikerbrands.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/renegade-pullover-charcoal
I have the Predator and Hardwater suits, and almost always just wear the bibs. The coats are just too bulky for me to fish in. I’ve been trying to find the perfect hoodie for a couple years. I’ve been wanting to find one of these on sale to try:https://store.blackfishgear.com/gale-pullover.htmlBut, I’m now looking very hard at the Striker Renegade pullover. Thanks for the link.
I must be the last guy on the planet to fish in plain old clothes instead of NASA approved, astronaut grade, uberfluordonium hybrid, everything-proof, self-washing material suits 🤣
So that makes 2 of us. Walls insulated bibs with a hoody and quilted flannel jacket.
