Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: cold weather gearWalt,Being from AK, feel can make a few recommendations about cold/wet weathergear. Costco is currently offering a wet/cold 2 pc. rip-stop nylon suitwith velco in all the right places for about $50. Layer-up using polylongjohns under this type of wind wet tight gear and you'll be nice andcozy without the bulk.Gordon BowenN-1033BOriginal Message:-----------------

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: cold weather gearWalt,Sorry for the delay to your email, Bowl week. Anyway, Costco seems torotate stock fairly frequently, they currently have these cold/wet weathersuits on sale at their location here in Ogden UT, don't know if itssomething they stock all the time or on their website. Helly Hansen foulweather suits are favorites of the guys who go off to the Bering Sea forfishing and crabbing, but little heavy with rubberized nylon due to wearand tear. I have one of these suits for boating in my open cockpit BostonWhaler for Alaska. These suits are also supplied at higher cost at mostmarine suppliers like- West. Offshore Sailors like them, too. I thoughtthe $50 suit from Costco was a heck of a deal for a Piete type application.Lighter weight nylon ripstop and good seals to water and wind.GordonOriginal Message:-----------------
