Question Which Floaty suit?

I'm looking for a new flotation suit. It needs to be large. I'm 6'3" tall 56" Chest, 46" waist & my inside legs a secret. Any jokes about XXXFB & i'll sit on you...
Quite fancy A two peice Fladen:
Or a Sundridge Crossflow Pro

I know Sundridge do a giant size. Not too sure if Fladen do anything in my size. Anyone got any thoughts as to which I should go for, or got any suggestions for any other makes that may fit?

Re: Which Floaty suit?

judging from comments from other anglers on the boat over the years ,the Sundridge is a great suit ,and the Fladden ,is a good one .......Personally the Sundridge seems to be better quality . How about Imax ??

Re: Which Floaty suit?

Zeals had some good offers on when I last saw their catalogue, I think they were doing a disounted rod or rod/reel combo on buying a suit. I think the suits were sundridge.

Re: Which Floaty suit?

I had an Imax for a few years and found it to be fantastically warm (too hot at times). Only problem with it from a personal perspective is that the jacket part was soooo heavy and too bulky. Not so bad if you don't have to move too much, but cumbersome and bloody uncomfortable if having to walk or move any distance.

The bottom half though is brilliant, although the seams are a bit weak. I had the mother-in-law do some reinforcement stitching.

At the moment I have an ABU two piece and so far has proved excellent. It's lighter but maintaining good thermal properties.
