Time again for expression of interest in your winter gear folks.

Feelling the cold yet?
Want to be comfortable throughout your observing sessions?

As i have now retired from business, i am keeping minimal stock - but will continue to provide freezerware to this community as long as there is sufficient demand.
I have a minimum order requirement of $500, so please get your orders in if you are interested so that we can make up enough to place an order

if you are interested please send a PM

Full Suits $175 (XS to 5XL)
Jackets $140
Trousers $110
Bib Trousers $120
Vest $80

sizing guidlines as follows

to give you an idea of sizing look at the following
..............Pants......Waist..... .Coat...Chest
.sm..-........77reg.......30"............ ...34"
.med.-........87reg.......34"............ ...38"

and so on - add 10/4" to the pants and 4" to the jacket for each size up

this also applies to full suits

My freezer wear comes in a couple of flavours

you have a full one piece suit,
separate trousers and jacket
you can also have bib & brace overalls and jacket
on top of that, for less severe weather there is a vest

Hi Geoff,

My jacket came today. It looks and feels great!
I know I'll be snug as a bug on these lovely cold clear nights!

Thanks a lot, :thumbsup:

Got my suit thanks, tried it on fully done up and lasted about 3-5mins inside the house!

Mine arrived today. Thanks. :thumbsup:

I tried it in and it fits perfectly - not too big but big enough that I can bend down or reach up without constriction. Comfortable and warm, too! I could snooze in the snow with this on. :zzz2::)

yes Nik

the external fabric will repel water
they are after all - industrial rated freezer suits

Just to confirm, are the internal zips meant to be opened to regulate temperature or are they only for cleaning and airing out? I had mine open but noticed a bell of a lot of condensation on the inside of the outer material, which I would think is normal but might have been exacerbated by my opening the internal zips and increasing the volume of hot air moving out through the outer material rather than say unzipping the main front sip.

Overall very happy, in 6-8deg didn't need gloves because my extremities were being flushed with hot blood from my body wanting to cool down :)

Hey is this one pink and black or pink and dark blue :question:

I want one if you can get it in pink it's as close to purple as I'm ever going to get :) hahaha
Are they all hi-viz :question: I'd prefer not to be seen out in the back yard :)
Oh yep I'm a girl and a fussy arse so I've been told hahaha :)

Well one day I might get lucky when they finally come in pink let me know when they do it can't be too far away as I do see the pink hi-viz stuff in workwear stores now :) yayyyy so I will wait patiently :)
Thanks Geoff :thumbsup:
