Hard Water Wear

[Steve Foss]

This is one additional ice suit coming to the market this year. I have not seen it in person yet. It is not listed on their HSOforum (that I could find) however they have it on their FaceBook site. It was in the new Infisherman.

HT Enterprises has introduced a suit of their own for the 2010-2011 ice fishing season, Polar Fire will be available to ice anglers in late 2010. Warmth up to -60 and featuring a reflective strip visible for up to a mile away for safety.

I don't see anything about it on the HT Web site, either. Wonder when it'll be available.

Have had IA bibs and are pleased with them but the strikemaster parka I have isn't the warmest the wind seems to blow through the back and makes my back cold. I like the setup of it but not the warmth out in the wind. Going to try the frabil ice suit this year.

Here is a picture and brief info.

There's more detailed info on the HT Industries Facebook page about the suit. Quite a bunch of detail, but I couldn't find anything on when it'll be in stores.

Carhartt. . . .

+1 You can't beat a good pair of carharrt bibs and jacket

If ice fishing was a video game, equipping the Carhartt bibs would give you:

CURSED! Carhartt bibs provide max defense but cannot level up until discarded

carrying capacity MAXED out, can no longer loot

-30 speed

-20 agility

-10 charisma

+50 frost protection, +50 fire protection

cannot run from battle

cannot equip fishing rod

i got the vex suit my dad has AA my brother has IA and my sis has the new frabill icesuit and from what i've seen you cant go wrong with any of them. It's a heck of a lot better then the old bulky hunting suits that soaked up water like a sponge. But all things equal the AA floats, only reason I got the vex was a freind of mine works at a big box store and got 50% off for employee shop day.

LOL! That made me laugh for real! It's all good though, only gotta put up with the carhartts till the big shack gets pulled out and I put away the porty. Then it's t-shirt and slippers time!
