Flotation Suit Recommendation?

#1 Post by Sugarlumps »

I'm looking to purchase a flotation suit, does anyone have any experience with the following three?

I have a 2 piece Penn Suit (Penn flotation suit ISO 12402). I find it very comfortable and have had it a couple of years and it is still fully waterproof. Whatever you decide I would defiantly recommend getting a two piece suit as it can be very warm when wearing the bottoms. Also try it on before buying if possible. I tried on a couple in the shop before I settled on the Penn. Some of them were terrible

I've a two piece fish eagle floatie...can't complain...its warm and still waterproof. .I have it about 2 years now.
And it was cheaply bought too. ..as said, definitely try it one before you buy and make sure to move about in it,even if you look like a right eejit pretending to cast in the shop
