having never ice fished before i'm here on IS just soaking in as much as possible before deciding what i might need. ( yes i plan on getting out there soon with accomplished Ice guys)How important are these suits to someone enjoying there time on the ice?
I bought a Striker Ice Lite jacket this winter and it seems great. Haven't been ice fishing with it yet but I spent 6 hours a couple weeks ago outside shoveling and it was extremely warm and when I finally finished up I wasn't all sweaty. As someone else mentioned they are nicely vented. The Lite seems more than warm enough, toasty even. I was out all day in just a tee shirt when I wore it.I can't imagine what the regulare version would be like but I'm sure its a bit bulkier. The Lite was the right choice for me.Just a side note, I wear a large but the large in the Striker was big so I ended up getting a medium. Anyway, big props for the jacket. Well made with pockets all over the place and great customer service, not that you will need it.Just my $0.02.
