Been thinking of getting a one myself cooky, saved me a post
Imax and sunridge look to be the favouates for me aswell altho the mustad one looks good.
I,d go for a two piece aswell for ease of movement and able to take thetop off if its getting too hot.

hey lads.
the penn 2 piece floatation suit is spot on and wort the money, the jacket is good.

Had a Sunridge one-piece for a few years now. Keeps me warm and dry - I re-seal the seams each year. A downside is the hood - it zips on the colllar when velcro may be better as you need someone to attach it if it is detached when you are wearing it. They are designed for boat fishermen of course but they provide excellent all-round protection for the shore angler. Best type - on experience - woould be a 2-piece. Also - you need one that gets you noticed - so dark colours should be avoided!

I\'ve got a 2 piece Fladen floatation suit and it\'s spot on, keeps me dry, warm (has fleece handwarmer pockets in both the jacket and the pants) and isn\'t too heavy if you have to walk any sort of distance

I\'ve also got a 1 piece Imax, it\'s far too hot unless it\'s about -6, lashing down and blowing a hoolie and it weighs a ton when you\'re walking/climbing. It does keep me fit though and doubles up as a great stabproof suit for Hendon Prom

Fladen 2 piece for me, too.

Warm as toast, but not too heavy.

HI IVE GOT 2 PIECE PENN FLOATATION SUIT AND HONESTLY COULD NOT FAULT IT POCKETS ALLLLLLLL OWWER THE PLACE. THE CHOICE IS QUITE HARD CAUSE WHAT EVER YOU CHOOSE YOU WILL END UP WITH A GOOD ONE THAT WILL LAST FOR QUITE A LONG TIME GOOD HUNTING

I\'ve got the IMAX 2 piece and I\'m happy with it, but next time (in about 5 years) I think I\'ll be going back to Sundridge.

My only real gripe about the IMAX suit (now that I have the correct size hood) is the lack of propper fleece lined handwarmer pockets. The pockets on the bib \'n\' brace are also inconveniently placed if you\'re not wearing the jacket.
