I would suggest the artic armor suit. The suit will floats you in the event you happen to fall though. That is a big advantage over ice armor suit. I personally don't have one but know several people that do and they really like them.

I bought the Artic Armor last year as well. I am very pleased with it. Once I figured out that I do not need to wear long underwear with it, I was even happier. I bought XL. I'm 6'1" and 190lbs and it is a little big. However, I don't think I would buy the large unless I could try it on.

The only thing I am not pleased about is they came out with a camo version about 6 months after I bought it. The jacket would be great for cold days in the duck blind.

Ditto to everything Ray said, except I am shorter and fatter smile.gif 5'11" and 240, and I have XL. Large might have fit, but I do like the roomieness I have with the XL. Wish I had the camo, but still might get the jacket. Safe, warm and they are not bulky at all.

$500 bucks? Where are you shopping, that's nearly double everywhere else.

I have Ice armor And it's not that warm the bibs are great but the jacket is poor COLD!!!!! I 'am 6"1' 260 And I got the xxx they run small

I typically dont wear the jacket as you will sweat to death in it on all but the coldest lakes. I have sat out in a 20 below with the wind to my back very comfortably, it is like a walking fish house.

I am looking into purchasing a Clam Ice Armor suit, but not sure what size I should order. Can anyone help? I am 5'10" and weigh 250 (Got the mid-life spread). I wear a XXL shirt. Would I need a XL or XXL suit?

I would say to check into the larger size. Wait until the St.Pauld Ice Fishing show to purchase and you can find great deals on them.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
