Default Good ice fishing suits for a reasonable cost?

Looking to get a good warm jacket and bib this year, but everything that looks warm is $600+ for the set. I'd like to spend around $400 or less if possible. I have a good heater and an insulated Otter tent, but I still spend a fair amount of time dealing with tip ups outside of the shack so I want to be warm. Any recommendations?

The striker predator suits are within your budget when they go on sale I believe.

I bought Frabil bibs when they were on sale for about $179 a few years ago, and in my mind they've been a good bargain. All the zippers / pockets / suspenders are still in great shape, plus they have padded knees and butt area for kneeling on the ice and sitting in your tent. I've never been cold in them and usually just wear long underwear / leggings under sweatpants underneath.

Maybe they dropped it more? Good deal if so.

I picked up the Strikemaster suit from TFH during the Boxing Week sale last year. Quite happy with it.

Thanks for the responses. Went to Canadian Tire and Bass Pro and couldn't find anything so as a last ditch effort went over to Marks and found a really nice Helly Hansen jacket and bib for just over $300.00.
