i'm no albanian or duck nerd, but have been in siruations where one of these rigs could have put me closer to where they wanted to be.
hell, maybe i am a duck nerd after all, but I'll probably never own one of these suits unless it's proven not to leak & someone gives it to me!

Just looking at this picture, I can't imagine how in the world I would keep my feet warm. All it says is "Waterproof socks". That isn't going to cut it for me. Also, it doesn't look like it can take too many limbs, cypress knees and what ever else there is to get caught on.

A camo diver's dry suit marketed for duck hunters? Never saw that one coming.

Shoot mane...its not arms and legs, its just duck money. Just buy another one. Nothing to drop a couple thousand to kill 40 ducks in a season...

I haven't even bought a stamp in several yrs so I won't have one, but anyone who hunts out of a boat this would be a pretty good safety tool. This looks very similar to the safety suits we had when I worked offshore. I know I dumped myself out of a piroque before and luckily I was only in about 4' of water and it was not that cold. If it had been over my head or extremely cold it could have turned out much worse. I have also been on a couple of bad boat rides that if we had gone in the water there is no doubt I would have died of hypothermia before I was found.

Seen that on some show on TV. They sit in the water in those suits behind sillouettes. I was freezing just watching them. But the ducks and geese landed right in their faces.
