New Ice Armor Gloves

[NorthernMN]

Anyone try thses new Ice Armor gloves by Clam? I am on my second pair in three days. They must have used the cheapest most brittle velcro in all of China. I bought the first pair on Saturday and wore them out bow hunting Sunday. It was cold. I think I remember -4 when I went out in the afternoon. When I tried to adjust the wrist straps the velcro just shattered. I returned then today and exchanged them for another pair. The new pair is already the same way. I think I will be looking for a refund this time.

In case anyone is wondering the gloves do not breath very well either. If your hands sweat they feel wet for a long time.

I asked about them at a local sporting goods store, and he said the same thing happened to his pair.

Picked up a pair at the ice fishing show in St. Paul earlier this month. Used them for the first time the other day. Guess I can't say I've had any problems with them, yet...

Northern, shoot an e-mail off to Clam... They did have a bad batch of velcro on the some of the gloves, and the store you bought them at might have had a a couple of these pairs.

I got a pair just as you did, got a new pair, and havent had a problem since.

I did actually send an email to Clam yesterday. I haven't heard anything back yet. If I do get a reply I will let you know what they have to say for themselves.

I have been enjoying mine. Very comfortable and warm even though the outside gets wet the inside is nice and dry.

They work great most of the time(when it's warmer) but I learned that when I don't bring the portable along I still have to take them off when I need to put my fingers/hand in the water. In a couple of minutes the fingers freeze up on the outside, sure they are dry on the inside, but on the outside they are all frozen and icy which makes for frozen fingers.Luckily I brought along my trusty choppers.I've had no problem with the velcro, even in cold(around 0).
