Jet Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Does anyone know any stores in the GTA other than Lebaron's that carries HH float suits. They didn't have my size and I don't know what other store carries them. Thanks in advance. jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I will be up that way Saturday on Simcoe. Do you know if they carry the Alpha suit? I presume the $229 is for the Delta correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motion Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Just a question I was looking to buy a suit myself. Are these Helly Hansen better than the Mustang type. Are they warm as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMahon Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I can't speak for the Mustang suits, but I have the Delta suit & I find it really warm! It's pretty bad when it's -30 out & your still sweating! lol & from what I hear the Alpha suits are that much warmer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Just a question I was looking to buy a suit myself. Are these Helly Hansen better than the Mustang type. Are they warm as well? This is what I noticed after initially leaning towards the mustang. For practically the same price at Lebaron, the Mustang Classic ($284) has a better hood but only a few pockets. The Alpha ($279) has a ton of pockets, neoprene cuffs, better fastening systems on sleeves and ankles, several tightening straps and suspenders which is great when things get to warm as it will keep things from falling down. It also felt as thought he insulation was more substantial. For the money, the Alpha had much more value. Edited February 20, 2009 by Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I see that crappy tire has the two piece Mustang on sale for 124.99 each piece. Are the one piece better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 One piece is warmer for sure, naturally. If you fall in then one piece is much better as it restricts water inflow much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Jet, I thought so too. Do you find the one piece mobile enough to fish comfortably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 If you get the proper size, you should have no issues moving around. That said, stop in at Lebaron and check it out. They have both. Try sitting down, bending, pretend you're cutting holes in the ice, and I'm sure you'll have a good idea if its comfortable for you.

GBW Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I see that crappy tire has the two piece Mustang on sale for 124.99 each piece. Are the one piece better? Contact Hirks for a price on the MS-185, I'm sure you will be happy. Jet, I thought so too. Do you find the one piece mobile enough to fish comfortably? I do. I'm 6' tall and was 185LB when I went to Hirks to try some on. I went with an XL so I had the room to bend and not tear the arse out if I bent over. They sell both brands too...
