Product FAQ's
Quality Striker outerwear is extremely difficult to construct. This is due to the custom designed flotation lining and the premium construction standards we employ.
For example, most sewing factories have great difficulty duplicating our linings, our seam margins, seam taping, and general construction. There is a difference between executing engineering excellence and trying to copy it.
Starting with our proprietary fabrics and insulation padding and finishing with acute attention to detail in each suit we construct for different applications. In the end - fit and feel of a Striker suit makes all the difference in the world. Try one on and you'll feel the difference.



Our Sureflote® flotation system, which is made from expanded low density polyethylene foam, traps air in closed cells. This is constructed into multi-layer membranes to create internal air pockets for added buoyancy. The Sureflote® membrane is moisture resistant and provides superior user mobility and added protection in the extreme cold. The combined jacket and bib with Sureflote® provides flotation assistance for up to two hours for an average person. You can float with just the bib or jacket and you will not float upside down while wearing just the bib.
Our Hydrapore Waterproof/Breathable shell is designed specifically for ice fishing applications to protect the wearer from slush, snow, and common ice fishing environments. It is not suggested as an alternative to high quality rain gear for long periods of heavy rain. Read all about Hydrapore here.
Our proprietary adjustable inseam allows you to adjust the length of the inseam up to 6 inches.
Adjustable Inseam Instructions:
1) Lay bibs on flat surface.
2) Unzip legs all the way and open lower leg.
3) Undo Velcro on gaiter fabric and flip over the gaiter fabric up onto the leg lining.
4) Unfold the very bottom hem (1/2” seam secured by Velcro) across the cuff by sliding your thumb through the two halves of Velcro.
5) You will want to “hide” either one or two of the connecting tabs with snaps, depending on how much you shorten the cuff. (Snap the tab to the inside lining so it stays inside since it is not needed any more)
6) Now you can fold the cuff up to a higher setting, as much as 6 inches. The maximum change is set so that the cuff hem is the same length as the leg zipper storm flap (as shown in image below).
7) Reconnect the Velcro on the bottom cuff hem to the higher Velcro strip(s).
8) Make a crease on the new bottom hem by pressing flat. Do NOT use an iron because this will burn the fabric.

You can find your size by referring to our Size Charts.
The Climate Jacket is tapered so it can be more comfortable when worn without the G2 softshell lining. Consider one size larger Climate jacket for “experienced bellies.”
The Hardwater Jacket has more of a box cut and runs slightly larger than our size chart. If you are between two sizes of the Hardwater, pick the smaller size to be safe.
Yes, machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent and finish by hang drying. Never use high heat to dry the garment.
To take best care of your rain gear - machine wash on cold and finish by hang drying. Once hang dried - tumble dry on low for a few minutes to help reactive the DWR finish.
eVolve rain suits perform better when washed frequently, due to the proprietary eVent Direct Venting technology built into the fabric.
Adrenaline, Denali, and Vortex rain suits also require occasional washing for optimal performance, although not as frequently as eVolve suits.
Just one of the suit pieces will make you buoyant, however the Jacket and Bib system together will work the best. You will float better with just the bib because it has more Sureflote® material throughout the item than the jacket. Read more about Sureflote® here.
*Note: This does differ from person to person as everybody has different body densities. Our flotation system is labeled as flotation assist and is not a PFD.
No. Our Rain Suits do NOT have SureFlote Flotation Assist Technology. It is designed to resist water while letting your body breathe. If you are worried about falling into the water we recommend wearing a life jacket.
An optimal balance of fabric weight, waterproofness, breathability, durability, and features designed for specific applications. Our new eVolve and Adrenaline rain suits have been constructed with all of the above factors in mind and designed specifically to protect serious anglers from inclement weather.
