I ordered the suit at the end of I season. Didn't come in till after I season so I was ready to use it for next season. Just recently I took a trip to Lake Erie to fish for Smallmouth off of boat it was supposed to be cold and windy that day so I figured why not take my ice suit will protect me from the window protect me from the cold and this will be his first test run. I was amazed at how it blocked wind on the boat ride through the canal I didn't feel a thing. We were out on the lake for a few hours and it kept me warm all morning one of the best purchases I bought for fishing. I recommend it to anyone that ice fishes or is on a boat a lot in the cold. I couldn't be please more with this suit thank you very much.
