Bibs

[mr.z 1972]

I am in the maket for some ice fishing bibs. I can not justify spending the mone for the Snosuit. Although I have used a set once and they are awesome. I am looking at the Vexilar, Ice Armor, Artic Armor...

Would like to hear from those of you that have used them. Pros and cons.

Thanks,

I bought the strikemaster suite this year and have nothing but good things to say about it. The bibs keep we warm and dry. Not to heavy and not to light. i would tell anyone in the market to check them out.

They are all good. I love my IceArmor, the guys with Artic Armor will make sure you understand that their suit floats and could help save a life, and the Vexilar crowd clamors for their clothing as well. Try on different models, buy what you like. This will be a pretty simple purchase for you as truly, you can't go wrong.

Vex bibs are great, good value too. Good fit, handy configuration and the rear heat pack back warmers come in handy.

im in market for upgrading bibs also, anyone know of sales going on now or if they ever go on sale?

i dont think you can go wrong with any of the bibs from the top ice suits (frabill, vexilar, strikemaster, arctic armor and ice armor). i would just look around and see what the best deal is you can find and go with that. to be honest, besides the flotation with the arctic armor suits, i dont see any glaring differences that make one suit stand out from the rest.

I have the Ice Armor Extreme bibs-absolutely love them. Only complaint is that they are actually a little too warm if you are going to have to work hard pulling a fish house or shoveling.

[mr.z 1972]

I would be using them to plow and shovel. Do you think that if one were to wear them while working that he could wear some light flannel "pajama" pants under them to keep comfortable?

I don't know if they are still on sale but if you are looking for a cheap alternative for bibs Cabelas had their insulated fall hunting bibs on sale for $65. They are very warm and have lots of pockets. The material is not as durable as the ice fishing bibs but at that cost you could buy three pair for the same price as one of the ice fishing bibs. Or maybe try and hold out until March when they might go on sale.

If I was going to buy bibs for shoveling and snowblowing it would be the Carharts extremes.

For Ice Fishing the suits mentioned above are all good. I like my AA suit but out of the others the Strikemaster suit fit me best.

I was thinking of getting one pair to do both but that may not work.

Bibs should be about all equal. I have AA and they are warm and water proof not as good of a fabric others. Stikemaster bibs are made of a better material and good in wet conditions also. looking for warmth go with th strike bibs.
