Renting Arctic Armor

[walleyedan]

Hi guys and gals,

What are your thoughts, do think it would be a good idea or not? Thank you for your input, I'm going to work my way back to stand so I'll talk to you later. If you are interested in purchasing a set call the number below or send us an email.

If you are talking about renting it for a day to field test it with the intent of possible purchase, I think that might be a great idea. If you are talking about renting a suit for a trip, I am not sure I would be down for that. I don't know though, but kinda looking at it like renting a tux for a wedding.

I think it would be a great idea.

For instance I have a number of friends who are somewhat interested in ice fishing but lack the proper equipment to really come out with me. I can easily supply the actual fishing gear, but I don't have extra stuff to keep them warm enough. Staying warm and dry is the key to ice fishing fun.

So yes, we would likely rent a suit for a day. Also, if it was reasonable that one could affordably 'try before you buy'. Or perhaps do like kayak shops do, if you buy the boat/suit after the rental you get 'refunded' the rental price.

hygiene is important too. Suits would have to be clean, dry etc.

In your situation I think it would be a great value add for your shop, but I wouldn't expect it to be a significant source of revenue.

Great input, thank you very much. We might just do it.

Have a good day and good luck deer hunting,

Boy I don’t know Dan you’ll definitely need to get a credit card from everyone renting. I don’t think any of the suits would make it back to you! Seriously though it would be a decent idea. Especially for guys who only bring out their ladies once or twice a year and don’t want them getting cold.

P.S. Thanks.

As someone said it would be great to try it before you buy it. I think I would be up for testing out a set.
