Hope I answered a few questions at least, I kinda rushed through that.So are you saying with the gaitors, you are basically pulling them up and inside out? I wear a rubber striker boot, bibs now don't have gaiter, never had a problem with snow
I needed a new suit, my old Eskimo Lockout is too big now.
Just a heads up on the warmth rating Striker Ice Climate w/liners installed is 10/10 w/liners removed 4/10 ..I would think the Clam Assent is very similar to be competitive . Also the Striker Ice Predator is rated at 7/10..and is comparable to the original Clam Blue Suit circa 2009 ..I would think Clams Rise suit is very compatible.
Congratulations! I work hard not to go the other way, my tendency is to need "Larger" clothes, not smaller.
Speaking of the sizing, for the Ascent suit, I am 5'10 and about 190 lb. I have a size large in the parka and bibs. It's pretty roomy, especially the bibs. The jacket I think fits just about perfect. I have the bottom cuffs adjusted up as far as they can go and the top straps also adjusted as small as they can go. There are belt loops on the bibs, but no belt included. I'm guessing that if you really need to you can run a belt of some type through those, not really sure. I think with minimal layers I could wear a medium in the bibs, but I would worry it might be a little tight moving around in the jacket at a size M.
When I was that weight and height( loss some over the past two seasons) ..both large size bibs and jacket were pretty spot on ..same issues on the adjustable suspenders ..I thought about shortening them at times but haven't come up with the right EZPZ solution just yet ..if I do I will pass it along .Remember that loft creates heat ..that "extra" room is your friend . I wear a a hoodie and a vest for my upper body apparel most days its just right so I would not be able to scale down a size (large to medium)on the jacket as it would be too constrictive .. as for the bibs ..maybe i could scale down ..I do have a complete SI Predator suit is size medium . one of the hardest parts about buying a suit( and clothing in general) on line is sizing...down right frustrating.
you got a once in a life time deal at that price. as far as I know the Ascent is not being discontinued unless they roll out a newer model of it at this years pro day. I should know more in the next week or so as to which suits will be offered and all the other new products for the year too.
Read some reviews ..seems some of the stitching isn't up to par jrjach75 whats your take on it .
I've never been to a style show out on the ice. The latest color has never mattered in my book, last years good deal is just fine. Looks to me like all Striker did was change color.
Very Nice Review Lil hint on the gator ..mine stuck out quite aways on my SI Predator bibs ..all I do is snap them shut and hike them up my Muck boot to the mid calf ..never had an issue getting unsnapped or working their way down . Thanks again .
