Very happy with my Boreas suit so far. I fished Wednesday in high winds and snow, dragging a Shappell flip over with me. Temps were on the high side in the mid to upper 20's. Smartwool thermals top and bottom, pants and a t shirt underneath. I left the bibs and jacket unzipped unless walking directly into the wind. I spend 2 1/2 hours moving snow at the house that night and had to ditch the jacket and put on something lighter.
I've never owned a Clam, Frabill or other ice fishing suit so I can't compare. My guess is they are all pretty similar. I've always layered with an outer windproof/waterfproof shell due to costs, but wanted a float suit due to ice conditions this year. I was sold on the price point and impressed with the product.
