I use a Stearns I570 Lite 1 piece anti exposure (floatation) suit for the cold stuff. Wind proof, water proof, and very warm. Plus it will keep you afloat if you go through!

Post by: Greg2ha on Oct 10, 2005, 08:00 PM: Rico, Colemans.com is a great place to buy Mickey Mouse boots. I gave 40 something
about 2 years ago for them. GI JOES, on the other hand has for much more. I try to get the best deal. If this means buying off the net and not local so be it.
Later Greg
