Freezer Suit

I've got a Hepworth Freezer Suit surplus to requirements. This is a two piece suit - Jacket and Bib trousers in Navy/Yellow. The size of both pieces is M (87 reg/34" waist/38" chest). I purchased this suit new 2 years ago and have worn it for 2 astrofests and very occasionally in between. It is in very good condition. I'm looking for $165.

PM please if interested.

I should mention I will bring this to Astrofest if it doesn't sell before - I reckon it is going to be cold this year - freezer suits are going to be popular!

I can post pictures if required.

I've had some questions about the merits of 2 piece bib/jacket vs 1 piece and bib vs regular trousers. Here's my thoughts on this:

I found it good to have the jacket separate because it is often still warm at the start of the night. With two piece you can take the jacket off without having to get out of the whole suit or have the top half hanging from your waist.

The advantage of bib trousers is when you sit down the bib trousers keep your waist covered whereas you get a gap open up with a jacket and regular trousers. These suits were designed for people working in a cold room - in that scenario they are not sitting down so the regular trousers are not an issue.

Just my 2c worth.
