floatation suit which one is best?.
hi all thinking of getting a floatation suit . but there is so many out there which one would be best?. i saw one today called blue sky and it was a two piece suit it was 50 nution ?. and 120 euro. is it rated the more nution the better the suit .?. im a poor swimmer and fish the rock marks a good bit so what i buy needs to be good. and i would wear a life jacket when its choppy on the rocks. so any help out there?. thanks .

Re: floatation suit which one is best?.
I just purchased a sundridge sas mk6 myself this morning after reading good reports on the brand itself, and upon seeing an earlier version tested on YouTube, I was sure it did the job

As far as I'm aware nearly all flotation suits are certified en393, which is a buoyancy of 50 newtons, some info here -> http://www.mullion.org/products/product ... rds/en-393 Considering your a poor swimmer, a good suit coupled with a life jacket with a rating of 100N should have you well covered in a worst case scenario. The sundridge is my first flotation suit and I haven't put it to use yet to recommend it but I'm sure there'll be more guys like shaft666 able to recommend you a good suit.
