Artic Armour camo with pics

[Jim Almquist]

I just received my AA from WalleyeDan and I am very impressed with the quality and all of the great features. I really like the neoprene cuff with Velcro adjuster because no water is going down your arm if it is raining or you put your arm in the water to grab a fish. The other thing that I thought was a good feature was the gater on the bibs and then you zip down and snap shut and you still have a strap that will close the bottom of your bibs around your boots. Tons of pockets and the extra padding in the rear and knees will be nice on ice as well as in the deer stand. I think that I will still use my fleece outer layer on top when deer hunting to minimize the noise even though it is very soft material.The reason I posted pics is that on another thread it was referred to as Mossy Oak but it is Mossy Oak duck blind so I wanted to show everyone what it looked like up close.This is the back of the jacket from about 2 feet away for what is worth.

Just saw in the new issue of "Wildfowl" magazine that Arctic Armor's Duck Blind Jacket was a featured new product.

Waterfowlers are going to absolutely love the Mossy Oak version of Arctic Armor. "Duck Blind" just happens to be the name given to Mossy Oak's newest camo pattern if there was any confusion.

There is a big difference between the Red/Black Arctic Armor material and the Mossy Oak camo material. The camo is much softer and quieter which both duck and bow hunters will really appreciate. Other than that, all other properties of the suits remain the same.

I know I'll be wearing some next fall in the duck blind.

Jim,

Thank you. I still haven't learned how to post a picture despite some of you FMers that were willing to help me at one point. Hope you enjoy your suit.

How AA suits when it comes to durability. i know that i like carhart becuase they can be used all year round for everything from hunting to fishing to sledding. i mean how would they take a barb wire fence or something similar??

The camo verson was definitely a hit with the duck and bowhunters at the show this weekend. Like Hanson mentioned the fabric is soft and quiet. As a duck hunter I can see the how it would be a great suit to have.

Walleye Dan,

Click this link below. A man should know how to be able to show off his game.

When I first came on this site, it took me less than 3-5 minutes of reading the first post of this thread below and you will also get good help.

Good luck! Click here for everything on how to post images.

Shackbash,

Thank you, I will look at it tomorrow. I am about ready to pass out, still haven't recovered from the busy show!

Well I havent ever climbed a barbwire fence ice fishing so I dont know. Hunting it may be a issue.

Seriously though Carhart is a lot heavier material and I love my Carhart extremes, they have been very good to me for the past 4 years. Bulletproof I guess you could say. Except to heat and water.

A few things about the Carhart extremes I didnt like was the serious weight I had on with the bibs and jacket. 2nd was they arent waterproof and 3rd they will retain water and sink you. They also werent as wind proof as I thought they would be.

The AA is very wind proof, waterproof and very light. Of course if you drag them across barbwire you are going to cut them up. I would guess any product would be.

I will surely put my AA through the test this winter, ice fishing, 4 wheeling, shoveling and snowblowing and this spring I will even jump in Lake Superior in my AA if someone wants to video it. I dont want to test its floatation this winter by any means.

So I guess the Carharts are going to be more heavy duty and durable but the Arctic Armor is just as warm, way lighter, waterproof and could save your life.

To me they were a must have.

WalleyeDan check your HSOforum you have good news.

I'm awaiting my Camo AA, last year I used the Carhartt Extreme bibs. They are bulletproof, but I find that they are pretty hard on my back if standing a lot.

I can't even compare my Carharts to the Arctic Armor. Sure, my Carharts have put up with a lot over the years, but they are far from lightweight, waterproof, bouyant and comfortable.

I certainly wouldn't buy a second Arctic Armor suit (camo)if I didn't believe it is the greatest piece of winter/outdoor clothing I've ever worn.

I wore mine hunting and went through some rough trees with it. Didn't cross any barb wire, don't really intend to, but it held up with what I went through great. I don't like to spend a lot of money on jackets and such, but I had heard good things and wanted to try them. I will say they are well worth the money and when these wear, I buy more.
