Jason, thanks for your question. There is a grand canyon of difference between the Squizzle Suit and Haines Tuxedo from The North Face. First and foremost is the build of the suit. The Haines Tuxedo is fashioned from Gore Tex Pro Shell, while the Squizzle Suit is built from 2 layer Hyvent Fabric, which is a proprietary material developed by The North Face. HyVent is great in terms of weather protection/breathability, but it is not Gore Tex Pro Shell, thus the dramatic difference in price. Additionally the fit of the suit is quite different. The Squizzle has the big boy/free ride fit, while the Tuxedo is a much more fitted, alpine fit as it is mountian guide inspired. I hope this is helpful for you. Pray for snow.
