Artic Wear ( A Life Saver )


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share with everyone that we here at Appeldoorn's Sunset Bay Resort on Mille Lacs Lake have ordered our Artic Wear from "Walleye Dan"! We will be using the Artic Wear everyday on the ice guiding and working the ice!

This is one hell of a product! Its warm and above all is a floatation wearable. A possible life saver. We paid more for a snowmobile suit than the Artic Wear! We will be wearing our Artic Wear on Mille Lacs for years to come for saftey and the warm comfort!

Check it out at www.walleyedan.com for your Artic Wear Ice Fishermen! With the way the ice seasons have been over the past three years, I feel that this is a must have product for every ice fisherman!

With Artic Wear (Floatation) and our WilCrafts(Floatation)I feel pretty darn safe out there on the big lake everytime!

Cranker,

Thanks for that. It's Arctic Armor though. If anyone is interested, I will be placing another order on Tuesday. I do have some sizes in stock, but it is going fast. This stuff is awesome!! For the price and the quality it's hard to pass up.

walleyedan,

The suit looks interesting. I see the company has a rough road of financials, but that aside, that doesn't necessarily make the product bad at all.

My question is, I've looked at as much info as I can find on the Arctic Armor and the suits seam to have everything I would like (buoyancy, lite weight , windproof, waterproof, large pockets, hood) but there are a couple questions I have that I feel are very important.

1) Are there "pit zips". Even in the coldest temps, I find myself needing to "vent" a little to cool off. Or in a little warmer temps needing to always stay cool. As many of us know, the conditions we have now are not necessarily cold temperatures but warm conditions, with very cold water!

2)What is the internal shell made up of (nylon, cotton, other)

3)What is the external shell made up of (nylon, canvas, wind stopper, Cordura smile.gif , other )

4) Are the cuffs adjustable (Velcro)

These suits look pretty nice, but without the ability to see them and check them out for myself (I missed the ice fishing show, if they were there) I have to ask a lot more questions.

Best Regards

I really like the gaters inside the bibs for covering up the boots.

The suit is very lite weight!

Nice product and also very nice service. Receiving the product within 24 hours of ordering is impressive! I can see why people aren't afraid to speak up on how they like owning these. Can't wait to give mine a good run when the temps drop in a couple days.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
