Working on the Edge: Surviving in the World's Most Dangerous Profession: King Crab Fishing on Alaska's High SeasNo profession pits man against nature more brutally than king crab fishing in the frigid, unpredictable waters of the Bering Sea. The yearly death toll is staggering (forty two men in 1988 alone); the conditions are beyond most imaginations (90 mph Arctic winds, 25 foot seas, and super human stretches of on deck labor); but the payback, if one survives can be tens of thousands of dollars for a month long season. In a breathtaking, action packed

No profession pits man against nature more brutally than king crab fishing in the frigid, unpredictable waters of the Bering Sea. The yearly death toll is staggering (forty-two men in 1988 alone); the conditions are beyond most imaginations (90-mph Arctic winds, 25-foot seas, and super-human stretches of on-deck labor); but the payback, if one survives can be tens of thousands of dollars for a month-long season.

In a breathtaking, action-packed account that combines his personal story with the stories of survivors of the industry's most harrowing disasters, Spike Walker re-creates the boom years of Alaskan crab fishing--a modern-day gold rush that drew hundreds of fortune-and adventure-hunters to Alaska's dangerous waters--and the crash that followed.

Very comfortable. Great fit.
Great fit, very comfortable, wear all day, 40-50 degree weather with sweater or heat tech. Weight was just right not bulky or heavy. Best of all its machine washable unlike many of these coats.

Great product and value for money
Size: XX-Large, Color: Army Green
Value for money is great. Coat really absorbs cold. Just need to test if it water resistant. Laundry / cleaning of the product is also easy with instruction on the label.
