Ice Armor

[walleyechasers3]

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 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.

go with the 2X suit, its always better to have the extra room for flexibility and mobility. Have had my ice armor for four seasons now, its made for the ice and the anglers.

I do like my Ice Armor suit and yes, get it a little larger. It will keep you very warm. I would like to see someone float with Artic Armor on as that would be a nice feature.

So what size should I get if I were to get one. I'm 6-1 and 175 (skinny twig). Would the XL be tall enough?

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 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.

K Dawg,

They run big, without a doubt. You would be a large.

wait untill they come out in a store, or even possibly ask at a local gander or cabelas or something like that if they have them in the back. almost gaurenteed they will have some extras i mean at like 500 bucks a crack they arnt exactly flying off the shelves.

Ditto to everything Ray said, except I am shorter and fatter 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 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 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.

Never tried the Ice Armor stuff, bought the Cabela's Guidewear insulated suit last year, never shivered once and never once got wet! Wouldn't set foot on the ice w/o it!!
