Mike,

It was a client of mine who took the suit to G2, Ill have to get in touch with him regarding your questions. (im not even sure if he wore it..) I bought the suit a year or two ago when i was going to go to broad peak, but didnt eventuate.

Basically, imagine climbing in an expedition weight sleeping bag. You'd wear a set of thermals underneath, possibly more depending upon the local conditions, altitude, if you're using oxygen or not etc etc.

The harness in the suit allows you to wear just the pants with the top half unzipped and hanging off the back (if required) you could also fully unzip the pants for extra air flow if needed.

What are you planning to use the suit for?
