Arctic Armor

I ordered a pair of bibs last week and after trying them on, they felt snug. not unconfortably tight, but snug. is this the way they are designed? or should there be some baggyness? there is no crotch binding and it doesn't seem to restrict movement much. Am I ok? or should I exchange?

They should not be pulling your pants up on you. They will loosen up a bit but not much. Im 6'6" and 275# and I got the 3xl and they were a bit too snug and short for my liking so this year Im getting a pair of 4XL bibs.

I'm 6'2" and about 285. after reading these responses I think i'll keep the set of AA I have.

I don't wear jeans with my Arctic Armor bibs; just a base layer and another set of long johns. I do miss having pockets inside, though, as the bib pockets aren't htat accomodating in my opinion. Maybe some shorts would work, and I'd be dead-sexy walking around like that before putting my bibs on, too.

If you order the Plus Arctic Armor the Tricot lining while soft and comfortable does tend to grab your jeans as you slide them on. Keep that in mind when sizing them.

The Camo, Red/Black and black AA Bibs slide on easily.

Arctic Armor is very light and warm to -40 F, the "insultex" is waterproof, breathable and THEY FLOAT!

I use mine three seasons...Fall-Winter-Spring.

AA rules, remember there is a zipper and snaps along the side of the leg so if your pants get bound up at all it takes about 2 seconds to fix them. When sliding on your jacket just grab your sweater cuffs (or whatever your wearing) with your hand as you slide on your jacket like we've been doing since 1st grade and you won't have any problems.

I have the Arctic Armor camo suit from the OutdoorProStore and it's been awesome for archery deer and duck hunting so far.

Looking forward to one of those cold rainy mornings when the ducks are going crazy. They are a super wicked duck hunting suit

i will give AA their props on the saftey factor!!! it does keep you afloat!! i do run the AA Plus green suit during the early/late ice tiimes, It's all in what you can afford and how you fish!

[cps420us]

For those of you that ordered off the OPS, it is safe to go off the measurements they give for sizing. I don't want to wait until the ice fishing show to purchase it, and you are able to return it for a different size as long as the tags are in place and it's returned in the packaging in new condition if you order online?

I will be going with AA this year for sure. I want the camo for double duty. Its a lot of money for a suit, but I fish a lot on my own and the fact that it floats will make the wife feel better.

This last spring I picked up the Frabill Snosuit coat and bibs for $375.00. They run over $600 during the ice season. After reading this thread today I was kind of worried about them being too warm so I dug them out of the closet to try them on. I was once again very impressed with this product. No it does not float like AA but is very well built and didn't feel they were bulky as some suggested. No more bulky than the snowmobile bibs and carhartt I wore before. I was looking for warmth when I purchased these. Nothing worse than being cold on the ice. I know $600 is alot of money for ice gear but I look at stuff like this as an investment. It should give years of wear. I'm sure there are alot of good products but don't pass this one by.

CrappieAttitude: What size bibs and Jacket did you get for your size (i'm 6'5 205).

All, Where is this outdoor pro store located?

[Jim Almquist]

Top right side of the forum or right HERE

[PurpleCatMan]

so it's an online only store?

[Rick]

Yes and it can be found here - Arctic armor Camo Suit.

[TruthWalleyes]

It seems that they are cheaper when purchased as a "Suit" instead of individually purchased as a coat and bibs. My problem...I'm tall, and NOT FAT...So i need a smaller coat than i do bibs to get the length on the bibs. Can i still get the "Suit" price but order two different sized coat/bibs?

This world's 'one size fits all' mentality is hilarious!

[Rick]

Yes,

order the Arctic Armor suit you want and reply to the receipt stating you want the size changed. the reply email should go to [email protected]

[BassKnuckles]

So I just have the bibs because I couldn't afford the jacket also right now. Does anyone know if they will still keep me floating? I understand that water will fill them up and I will have to rush to get the hell out of the water. I never had a chance to jump in a lake with them this fall.

[TruthWalleyes]

Yes,

order the Arctic Armor suit you want and reply to the receipt stating you want the size changed. the reply email should go to [email protected]

Thank you rick!

From the video's I have watched, there is enough floating material there to keep 3 people afloat with the bibs and jacket. However with only bibs your wrong end will be wanting to come up I'd think.

[Rick]

From what I've seen and heard, with just the Arctic Armor bibs on it is a bit more stable than you might think.
