Ice Armor Mitts


Farley

Recommended Posts

Got a pair of Ice Armor Mits for Christmas. Well, actually I got two right handed mits for christmas, but brought them back to Cabela's for a left and a right, then went out fishing and stuck the gloves all the way down the hole till I could feel the bottom edge of the ice. My hands didnt get wet, all I had to do is ring them out a little (water gets trapped in there somehow), and hung them up in the fish house, then when I was ready to leave they were dry as a bone. I was very impressed with how waterproof they are. Not to mention they are the warmest gloves I've ever had. Good job Ice Armor.

I just got a pair for christmas and so far really like them. I am thinking that they would be perfect in the deer stand as well. For those of you who own them, do your hands get cold when just sitting out in the cold and not moving? I personally haven't tried sticking my hand down the hole, but am thinking I need to field test them on my next trip out. grin.gif

I have the gloves, my hands did get cold this last weekend, I was going across the lake on a wheeler. I have a real good furnace and circulation is not a problem for me. A couple of friends were with me, one had the mits and his were nice and warm...I found this out by sticking my hands in them for about 15 minutes while my hands were going through the painful steps of unthawing. I handed them each one of the gloves and they did not keep them on very long (commenting how cold they were) like what was said earlier if they do get wet on the outside it seems to take a while to dry out, but, your hands stay dry. This was 10:30 Saturday morning on Lake Alexander.

This was my experience, I will not be tossing them out, just disapointed they cost 30 bucks.

I have the mitts and find them to be really warm ,,Im diabetic and my circulation leaves something to be desired,,, For dexterity gloves are better but for over all warmth ill wear mitts ,,and if the fish are biting fast and furious My heart beating fast will keep my fingers warm with out any thing on my hands

I had(I stress had) a pair of the gloves that i picked up in Nov. Used them about 6-8 times and between the palm and the thumb started to rip out on both hands. Needless to say I returned them as the $10 gloves I got at Fleet Farm have laste dover 3 years with no rips.

I love my new gloves too. My hands turn in claws when they get too cold and I still love my wool choppers but it's nice to have something that's warm and not bulky too. I'm going to go look at the Ice Armor suits (I noticed someone has posted about those too).

    • 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.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
