If you mean the floatation suits your probably looking at about €100 or so. But let me tell you and without shame on a cold night like tonight you cannot beat the old long johns!!

Imax flotation suits are good but 2 piece bib and brace bottoms and a jacket I use them out in the boat during the winter and they keep you very warm also can get them in XS size which is good for the kids around £80

Trout Hunter- try glasgow angling centre- they have offers from time to time on the suits. Also have a promotion at the min 10% off all online orders:

I had a look on ebay there and the majority seem to be fladden. Not sure what quality these are. Maybe someone else could advise????

Good conversion rate at the minute as well so you may save a bit moe if you are in RoI.

Good luck.

have the fladen two peice, paid 135 euros for it, but its the best thing ive ever bought :D no matter what the weather throws at you,you will be warm and dry,only complaint is it could do with side pockets up high on the jacket to keep the hands warm,but then you can always buy gloves :oops: :oops: word of advice,buy a two piece,the bib and brace can be worn during the summer,where with a one piece you would boil in the summer,also you will get better deals on the internet,shop around!
