gonehunting Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I am looking for some honest opinions from true ice anglers on the Clam Ice Armor Extreme gloves. I have read alot of reviews but want to make sure they are all they are cracked up to be. My buddy loves his but says the waterproofing last about a year and has to buy new ones. I'm not looking to spend $45 a year on ice fishing gloves. I have heard alot better reviews on the mittens but want gloves. I tried a pair on in the store and loved the fit. Just want to make sure they are waterproof. I'm not submerging my hands in water but willing be handling a wet transducer, fish, drilling holes, snowmobiling etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Peterson Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I use all the gloves from Clam Ice Armor and love them. I really like the mittens and have good success with them. They have the best gloves on the market from what I see out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekhang Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 i like them but the extra part that goes up the sleeve is too small to fit my heavyweight striker suit. also the big c has them for sale for 29.99! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoFan85 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I got a pair of these gloves as a birthday gift this year. I was thoroughly impressed by how warm they are. I usually fish without gloves but while fishing with tip-ups my hands freeze. I slip my hands in these gloves and they warm up very quickly. The waterproofing is very good as well. I would recommend them to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterman91105 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I have three pairs of the gloves and love them. They are warm and comfortable. They seem to be water proof but i don't stick my gloves in the water either. They are a great glove for ice fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broman Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I love mine as well. But.... they do fall apart. The fabric that they use on them gets all fuzzy and then starts to break apart. I've had mine for about 4 years and had to sew them up and gorilla glue them where the thumb meets your pointer finger, you know, the area where you wipe your nose.GM has them for $33.73 with free shipping.

Cliff Wagenbach Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Very warm gloves! Buy one size larger then you usually wear as they seem to run small to me.Great fishing and hunting gloves.Not made to use as a work glove! Will wear out fairly fast if used that way!Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broman Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Here are some pics of my gloves and their issues. They are only used for ice fishing and probably get less that 20 days of use a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrid Houston Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Truthfully the best glove your going to find. I have several pair, some as old as about 5 years. I only use mine for ice fishing. I would say they would not be a good work glove for like a construction guy, but maybe good gloves for snowboarding, snowmobiling, etc, etc.... Love mine, and yes they are on sale at most places right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love them when we troll walleyes in the evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozer Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You cant't beat them for the price. $45 doesnt buy much for gloves these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I have the gloves and mittens. Love them! Season 2 using them, no rips or tears. Money well spent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I like mine as well and have also had good luck with my Snosuit and Striker gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterman91105 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I also have had two pairs that the stiching has came undone in spots. Just had to sew them closed. I have gotten about four years out of mine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FisH_SLaYer24 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I just picked a pair of the Extreme Gloves up today, all I can say is that they are very warm. I have used the older Ice Armor Arctic Gloves for 4 years and I can already tell that these are going to be much warmer and more waterproof.
