After receiving Army Universe's recommendation for size based on my dimensions, I ordered the XL. Having just returned from a snomobile trip to northern Wisconsin where the temps were in the low minus degrees, I can say the suit did the job. It was plenty large to allow layering underneath, yet tight enough at the sleeves and legs to prevent fridgid air from entering. The external belt is flimsy, but adequate. The chest and leg zippers are long enough to provide easy access to the suit. For the price the Black Snow Ski & Rescue Insulated Suit proved to be an excellent piece of equipment.

The sleeves do not have a velcro or cord to tighten against the wind, and the elastic cuff inside does not seal against a 60+mph commute on my motorcycle. Still it keeps my chest and legs warm enough, an overkill in Central Florida, but when it is below 45 in the morning, I enjoy the warmth of this suit.

I bought this for my all year Harley riding, I have two and have only tested on one. We've had lots of rain down here. Anyway back to the suit I got it last Friday night and couldn't wait to use it rain was coming in so I put the suit on sweatshirt,jeans,and boots. OH ya my glow in the dark skull mask temp was 36 deg w/10-15 mph wind. I rode for about an hour (we have alot of deer here so I limit my night rides.) But the suit worked great,no air seeping, never got cold at all seem to be very wind resistant. The one thing I wish it had was a velcro hook-up on the neck then I wouldn't have to use a baklava. We've got colder weather coming in so I'm looking forward to more testing.I've told some of the other guys I ride with so maybe you'll get a spike in sales.

Fortunately, I took the advice of another reviewer and bought a size smaller than I would normally order, because it would have been too big had I not. The product is wonderfully warm in the harsh winter days and nights while I'm on the water fishing, and you know a strong wind coming off the cold water can get a little chilly!

Black Snow Ski & Rescue Insulated SuitThis is a great snow suit compared to the price. It is warn except for the leg part. Air does come up the open leg because it is not tight around the bottom.
Over wise it is a great suit.

This suit is warm! I bought the suit so I could ride my motorcycle in the winter, and I am very pleased with it. In 40 degrees, I did not have to wear my coat... just a sweater underneath. Haven't driven in 30 degree weather yet.

The pants legs taper so there is no need to worry that the opening will balloon open as you ride. My only concern is that when I put my leg out to stop the bike, the pant leg moves up, thereby exposing the top of my boots. I am 5'4" and the small size fits perfectly when I am standing in both the legs and arms. I do wonder if I should have purchased the medium, but I will not return my suit. I'll try finding some elastic clip bands in a cycle catalog. That should pull the legs down.

One thing: the seam that runs down the back was rather shoddy, so I took it to the cleaners and got it reinforced. Other than that, no complaints.

We enjoy the winters in Wisconsin and they are snowy and cold,therefore, it is necessary to have a very warm and insulated snow and ski suit for qaud riding. I ordered the Black Snow Ski & Rescue suit 7022 in a size large for my husband. He is short and usually wears a medium shirt and pants, however, it fits him just fine. He puts extra sweatshirts and a jacket undernearth to keep warm. So I ordered one also, and I am also very pleased with it. I wore it when I took a walk with only adding an extra sweatshirt and I was plenty warm. I would definately recommend this for anyone who enjoys the outdoor winters. Thank you!!

I purchased this snow suit for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. Good fit, roomy and warm. He wears it to shovel snow, or work outdoors in the winter.

the suit is warm for snow blowing and cc skiing. The legs could be a couple inches longer for L size to cover down over the boots

this fits like it was tailored for me. this is perfect for motorcycle riding, the sleeves are longer than the mossi and the crotch is roomier for the sitting position. if you are going to ride get this one over the mossi.
