Flotation Suit for storm trooping shore anglers!!

#1 Post by MackDublin »

One of the lads on the boat section said he uses one for shore fishing.

I spotted these new military flotation suits for sale on http://www.buyandsell.ie/sports-and-lei ... on-suits-3 on-suits-3

I've never used a flotation suit before and was wondering if they are comfortable to manouvre around in?

Does anyboy know this particular type and if its good value?
