Location: Appleton WI | Does anyone have any reviews or opinions on the Frabill Stormsuit? Looking at getting some new raingear for the summer. Is it lightweight or is it heavier? Just a little hesistant with it being so new. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | I've had mine for a full season now and absolutely love it. The jacket is what I like the most, especially the cuffs around the wrists and the overall fit of it. The bibs have a tremendous amount of adjustability. You can't go wrong imo. |

Location: Appleton WI | Thanks TJ. Does it absorb water at all or just shed it? Problem I'm having with mine is that is holds the water and weighs a ton by the end of the day. I'm still dry but the material is soaked and doesn't always dry overnight. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | I never had mine in an absolute downpour last year or an all day rain, just never saw either of those while I was fishing so I'm unable to give you my personal experience on that. From what I experienced, it beaded off pretty well. I don't remember it ever getting that saturated where it weighed me down. |

| Stratos look at the artic armour suit its a little more but it floats can support 2 people if you go in and its warm and dry they have videos to show you how it acts in water I personally would not be without it especially on big water in the spring or fall http://www.idigear.com |
