Muck Arctic Pro vs Ice Armor sub zero


JSK76

Recommended Posts

My feet get horribly cold when I sit still and the only boot that has even came close to working for me is the Preditor Extreme but they are stiff and take some time to put on and take off. I don't expect a mud boot to be as warm as my Preditor Extremes but looking for something a bit more convenient to put on and off. My fishing buddy's started wearing Mucks and don't have any complaints but they don't have problems with there feet getting cold in general. I guess I'm looking for what boot would be the warmest of the two. I have a pair of Alpha 1500gm LaCrosse that I use for bow hunting, would the Mucks or IA be much warmer?

I wasn't sure of the sub zeros at first but I was talked into trying a pair. let's just say I am glad I took the chance. they are great boots. I didn't intentionally do it but last year I was walking along right after a snow fall and there was a 10 inch hole that was skimmed over and the snow hid it from sight, needless to say my foot and boot found the hole and my leg went in up to my knee. I then pull my foot out of the hole and slip the boot off and dump out the water (not much got it but enough to get a wet sock) and then put the boot back on and proceeded to set up and fish for the day even with the wet foot. long story short even thou my foot was wet it was warm inside the sub zero boot. the one thing that makes a difference no matter what brand boot you wear is the use of a good wicking sock and a wool sock( IE : Smart wool or a merino wool sock). no matter how good your boots are if you wear cotton socks you will get cold feet. the old saying is that cotton kills.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
