Great jacket. Went with these over a couple different models. The i2's are a little cheaper but I liked this style slightly better in the jacket. Also bought the i3 bibs. The i4 and i5 are nice but didn't want to spend that much.I had the most trouble fiding sizing information. Frabill's site had me questioning even more. Maybe this post will help someone decide better.I am 6'1" and weight 183 lbs. Fairly decent shape, and wear a 34x34 in jeans. I went with the large bibs because of the inseam of 34. I believe the medium was 32, and I hate pants that are short. Well the larges are plenty big! I could weight 300lbs and pretty sure they'd still have room in front in the stomach. It's only nice for putting on over cloths and being able to reach into your jean pockets underneath. Plenty of room for layers, but I think the mediums would have been short. The length of these is perfect. Yes the shoulder straps are adjustable but the crotch kind of needs to be where it should be.Jacket is the exact same way, went with the large, but probably would have fit in the medium. I believe my suit jackets are 42. Went large because of the sleeve length. That is perfect, but enough room in the jacket for another 100 lbs of stomach. Oh well, I'll stick with these. Hope this review helps someone on sizing. It would have been nice to be able to try them on first but didn't have anything local.Ice picks are nice, pockets are nice, quality is great and it's warm. The finger pulls on all the zippers come in handy. The website I believe says removable hood, it is not. Well I suppose it would be if you cut it off, but no snaps or zipper to remove it.

Great coat for great price
I bought this coat to go with the matching Frabill bibs I got 2 seasons ago and so far I love the suit combo. The coat is super warm and very comfortable, the sleeves are the perfect length, and the neoprene cuffs are amazing. They slide right into the big opening of my Fish Monkey Yeti gloves, and that helps keep my wrists from getting any type of wind. The coat is very lightweight which made me nervous, but I have yet to be cold wearing it with a hoodie under it. I really put it to the test the end of January 2022 when we went on a guided airboat trip on the Mississippi River. It was -35° windchill when we took off and for the conditions, this coat kept me very comfortable.The only complaints I have with this coat are it’s a little shorter in the front than I would like, but not a problem at all if you have bibs. The second complaint is the hood is a little weird. But for the price, you can’t beat this coat. I would absolutely recommend this coat and I would definitely buy it again if this one wears out.I’m 5’10” and about 250 give or take a few beers and burgers. It fits me perfect with a hoodie under it and I could definitely wear another hoodie if I ever wanted to but this thing is so warm you’ll never need it. Like I said, it’s a little short in the front, but I also got a little bigger of a front end than the average joe.

Great Product
I love this jacket. Its not a float jacket, don't get confused about that. It is however, cheap and warm and well designed. If you are looking for a simple ice fishing jacket that falls into those categories, this is it.

Windproof and warm
The included ice picks are a nice bonus for early or late ice. Hope I never need to use them, but it's nice to know I have them if necessary. The jacket is lightweight and not bulky at all. 2 nice sized pockets for storing bait pucks, pliers etc...2 fleece lined handwarmer pockets keep your hands warm in temps too warm for gloves, but too cold to go bare handed. The only drawback is the angle of the zippers prevent them from being zipped/unzipped one handed. Nice big adjustable hood can fit over probably all hats. 150 grams of Thinsulate keep you warm. Supposed to be waterproof but haven't tested that yet. All in all, a very nice warm, durable jacket for the money.

Has a great zippered pocket thats perfect for phone and/or keys
Water/ wind proof. Love the hood (it covers your head perfectly so that you can still see but if not directly facing the wind it won't bother you).

Thumbs up on first couple of uses...
Keep in mind here that this is a JACKET and might seem a little short.If you pair this with Frabils bibs,it is one sweet combo.Pros:Very light,yet very warm,surprisingly so.Upon arrival I was skeptical.Very comfortable.Lots of pockets,nice fleece hand warming pockets too.Wonderful hood.Cons:I would have liked it a little longer,but I could be wrong about this.The ice pics don't stay in their holsters real well.I may end up removing them,not a deal breaker,I think I'm going to end up really liking this coat.

Love this jacket.
Amazing suit. I got the bib pants that go with it. I use it for ice fishing. It works great. Keeps you warm and dry even if it’s raining.Secret is don’t wash it if you don’t have to. The water prof citing will last longer.

Good Fit and Function
The Frabill brand never disappoints. My husband is a 2X, so we ordered a 3X and it fits perfectly over two layers of clothing. It is toasty warm, has plenty of pockets, and the safety feature is a nice bonus!

Great jacket. Well designed , lots of packets and feels warmFor sizing.... I'm 6'3' 225lb(before Christmas lol) and xl it's a fit for meI might've been ok with L because it's a bit wide in the chest but couple of layers underneath and should be fine so if u r a bit smaller than me L will do just fineWhoever designed it knew what he/she was doing....again ....
