For gloves I just wear a pair of the brown jersey glove on nicer days and when I am fishing in my portable and switch to a pair of the Ice Armor Edge gloves for the colder days. I also have a pair of mitts I wear on really cold days too. as for suits, my first ice fishing suit was a strikemaster suit (still use this to snow blow the driveway) then I got a first year Striker Ice suit (wear this on the extremely cold days) and my current main suit is a Ice Armor Lift Suit (this is the one I wear the most). for boots I wear the Ice Armor Sub Zero Boots (these are very warm boots).

On cold days I wear the Sno Suit mittens and the fingered heavy Ice Force gloves when its not bitter cold. When hole hopping its either fingerless wool gloves or thin fingered fleece gloves. If my hands get cold I eiether put them in my pockets or choppers.

Frabill FXE task gloves worked great for me last year. They are bulky but not so bad as to make your hands almost useless. They are waterproof as well. I could stick my hand down the hole with them on and stayed dry...and warm. Sometimes on very cold days I wore a thin liner Ansell glove underneath but not often.

I've had the Clam Edge suit since 2009. Warm enough for pretty much any day out on the ice. I also use the Edge mittens because they work for all but the coldest days, but aren't too bulky where I can't put them in my pockets if need be. For boots, I've been wearing the Cabela's Switchback boots for the last 5 years. Very warm, but they don't make them anymore. I'd try out the Clam Onyx or the Cabela's Inferno boots if you're looking at boots for on the ice.

    • 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.
