well I recently got some striker ice predator and I can't believe how good the quality his and its quite lightweight.I use to be cold all the time last 2 times i got out had to take my winter coat off in -5 celcius weather !
Yeah, I always take my coat, never know when its needed, but it usually lays in my tub. My bibs and a good hoodie over a sweat shirt and short sleaved shirt is about all I usually use. The coat does come in handy when you have a very cold wind and on the extremely cold days. I bet if I use the coat 5 times a year, that's alot. And, I have the Predator coat now, I use to have the extreme weather coat. I found it to be way too heavy and bulky, it never got used!
