Floatation Suits

[thewestwind]

Hi all
sorry I haven't posted for a long while, ain't been very well at all.
Anyway a quick question to get back into the swing of things. I'm after a new Floatation Suit for the coming Winter and I've got my eyes on the Sundridge Crossflow Pro or the Sundridge En-Tec models.
I was wondering if anyone is using either of these and would like to comment on their fors and againsts.
Also if anyone knows of any Local Dealers who have them in stock so I can see 1st hand, I've rang 3 or 4 in the Sunderland Area without any luck.

Thanks all and good to be back.

I've got a sundridge crossflow pro and a shakespear tidewater both 2 piece suits and not a great deal of diference between them in my opinion. They are both very warm even on the coldest winters day when you are just sitting there doing nothing for hours....hmm i've had too many days like that!
Only thing i would say is the crossflow is a lighter suit and it also seems to have more pockets. Both have kept me bone dry even in heavy rain. Only bad point i can think of with both is i always seem to pull the hood off when it starts to rain!!! They should'nt have poppers on imo.

Floatation suits.

I bought one off e-bay. Came in a lovely zipper bag. It was a sundridge. I,m wearing it on my avator picture. Lovely in the winter but bit steamy in the summer.
Very reasonable price too.

Hi mate, whichever one you choose, pair it with a lifejacket. I wear one if I ever fish from rocks, pier or boat. even Flyfishing. One chance. thats all.

Good advice, wear one it gives you a chance of getting out alive.
