Exposure suits for X-treme duck hunting
FOr those of you concerned about boating and hunting safety, I have now developed under license agreement with MossyOak, the 1st Exposure Suit, tested dry to 100 feet. Not that you would ever go there. But there aren't any conditions in the NW that would prevent you from surviving "totally dry" while you float to safety with your weapon in hand. This technology is here and now available!
Check it out  :shocked:
Yes this young lady is in "DEEP" water at 51 degrees and is dry as well as toasty warm. And we haven't added her PFD yet!

Re: Exposure suits for X-treme duck hunting
interesting. just curious. if it is anything like the dry suits used for diving, there could be a problem with "ballooning" around the legs causing the person to float upside down with their legs out of the water. do these operate in the same fashion or are they constructed differently?

Re: Exposure suits for X-treme duck hunting
The other really important questions concern mobility (I tend to roam a lot) and the toughness of the exterior material (when roaming over barbed wire or through Russian olive and hawthorne).

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Bill,
You've had experience in a similar piece of equipment,(ROCKITWEAR) So you have first hand knowledge of what the drysuit feeling is like. The exterior MossyOak cover is constructed from 1000 denier junior ballistic Cordura by Dupont on the outsdie with the dry interior being a sealed 200 denier high count twill nylon with urethane coating. As you know depending on how EXTREME your mission is will determine what level of comfort your willing to compromise to achieve a greater degree of safety. This product is being designed for the HARDCORE late December, January-Feburary, hunter who now does not have to factor weather and conditions into weather he (or she) is going "hunting" that day. If you fall from your boat or "slip in", in this piece of equipment drowning and hypothermia are not "survival factors", or at the very least, slide way down the priority chain. AS always you're more than welcome to a factory tour of our facilities in St. Helens. Come see for yourself.

Re: Exposure suits for X-treme duck hunting
Capt Kujo, Very interesting. How about some pics on dry land to let us see how "baggy" it is. Is it breathable and how "affordable" is it? You have my attention......Thanks.

Re: Exposure suits for X-treme duck hunting
Capt. Kujo,
When are you going to start offering offshore duck hunting trips for sea ducks?
That looks like a nice suit.

Re: Exposure suits for X-treme duck hunting
Thanks for your comments. And to answer your questions about "factory tours", they're open to all ifisher by appointment only. And I do them after hours also. I live just a couple of miles from the factory. But they are personal tours by me only and so they're only available when I'm not travling and am at home.
