Need help purchasing survival suit

Post by **lifeisfun** » Sat Sep 04, 2010 10:17 am

I'll take it step further since I like to buy the right thing

I have neoprene waders that I really like but I guess I won't be able to use them with the suit. What kind of insulated rubber boots should I get ?
(BTW I don't do ice fishing, all this is only for late fall early winter casting/trolling)

I wear these with some good wool socks..

There are much better boots but for the price they can't be beat. Buy them a size larger for a good pair of polypropelene sock topped with a nice wool sock and you are all set. I use them for ice fishing until we start getting -20's

I have the same ones as Troutmuskiehunt, can't go wrong with that set up.

Just make sure that you do not get Safety toes rubber boots, they are cold no matter how many socks you have.

On the other hand I would be able to kick around lures with 7/0 hooks

I found them great to get the ice off my skimmer but they were a lot colder, now I just bang my toes every once in a while when I forget that my new ones aren't safety toes.

Make sure you take the time to adjust the suspenders right before you head out,or your neck will pay the price!The weight of the suit will put a strain on the back of your neck.If you notice this,adjust the suspeners so the suit rides higher.
