THE ICEARMOR LIFT™ Cold weather suit is more than just a cold weather suit. Yes, it certainly will protect you from the cold, wind and ice. Yes, it is 100% waterproof and windproof. But More than this, the Icearmor lift suit includes an internal “lift” lining that provides added buoyancy versus our edge suit, giving the angler an extra “lift” when it’s needed. Yielding cutting edge design, look and function, the bibs and parka have the same great features as the original Icearmor blue/black edge™ suit. Everything you’ve come to expect from Icearmor —from strategically placed pockets to ballistic nylon-covered padded knees—this suit will surely fit the outerwear expectations of today’s ice angler.

This suit will be a welcomed product from Clam. Even if it is not coast guard approved it will still give someone a better chance of getting out of the water/ice. Heck, I am most excited to use this suit in my boat!

Lets be honest here. A live jacket is still the best product to save your life if something goes wrong. We still need to be smart no matter what we do. The lift suit will just help me feel more comfortable venturing out on the lake.

Good fishing,

Im very glad to see this suit come out. The more people on the ice with this type suit the better.

Are any of the (stated) floating suits US coast guard approved?

[Fred_Bear]

None of the other popular floating suits are USCG approved to my knowledge.

Just curious, but does the Lift Suit actually float the wearer if they fall in?

Other popular brands (AA and Striker) either have literature or videos claiming the suit will float the wearer if they fall through the ice.

The only claim I can find from Clam is the Lift Suit will "add buoyancy".

I'm assuming this is simply for liability reasons and the suit will 100% float the wearer should they happen to fall in. I just want to hear from someone in the know if that is the case.

Sounds like it maybe time to make a Youtube video like the other campanies have?

[BartmanMN]

There is a grainy picture on their HSOforum that shows someone that appears to be in water, but I agree. Time for Matt to suit up and jump in the lake or pool.

I find it kind of ironic/comical that when the Arctic Armor first came out 6 or 7 years ago, a lot of guys trying to protect the good name of the companies they represent or are sponsored by, wrote off the whole flotation thing as "unneeded, overpriced, a fad, and not practical" and went out of their way to try and bash AA.

Now they are all scrambling to get their own version out there and convincing us that theirs is the best.

Also its sad to think about past tragedies and think what if?

[Chad Peterson]

Corey, I agree with you on still wearing a life vast in anytime of the ice season. You just never know especially on the new lakes that your fishing for the first time. The Lift Suite will be a nice addition to their clothing section.

Can't wait to jump in one!

[Bigtom]

As soon as I get my suit I will jump in the lake and take a picture.

We all know that Jim Hudson may have been helped by a Lift Suit. I am proud to be associated with Ice Team, who believes in pushing for the production of a product which may be of value. I have felt the fabric of the Lift suit, and it is not stiff. Some of the other ice fishing flotation suits were not breathable also. I will wear mine when it makes sense to.

here is the page from the catalog that has the picture you are talking about. once on the page click on the page to enlarge it so you get a better look at it. let's just say the guy in the picture is not a small guy(I have met him in person so I know this) and he is clearly floating.

Ya his loyalty to that Blue Suit he always wore may have cost him his life. Glad the Blue Suits now have a option to keep all the "Smurfs" safer.

[Chad Peterson]

Safety on the ice has been always a concern and you never want to see a lost of anyone. Regardless of what side your on,be thankful that there products on the market that can help prevent another lost in the fishing world. The Lift Suite will be another quality product from Clam and I am proud to be part of them!

Hopefully this year there will be less deaths ice fishing because of this suit
