CrappieAttitude Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I want to get the camo suit and use it for waterfowl hunting, bow hunting as well as ice fishing. Does anyone know how durible the camo suits are in comparison to the red suits. It seems like the soft material may tend to wear a little faster. Any testimonials?Thanks,CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I have the camo and used it for hunting last year. Held up great. Went through lots of trees where I thought it had tore and not a sign that anything was wrong. Fell in mud and it washed up great. Only complaint was that I got a little hot in October in it.

harvey lee Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Check them out here.http://outdoorprostore.com/arctic-armor.htmlCrappieAttitudeI used my camo for hunting last fall and also for ice fishing. The suit held up very well for both. Typically I do wear my red & black suit for ice fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinJohn Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Can you buy the green suit online anywhere? Can you get a large long? I am not sure if I need long but in some clothes the sleeves are too short. I would buy through the outdoorprostore but they are not selling the green ones yet, though free shipping sounds good. I assume the green ones have the same padding in the knees? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Otter Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 "Long" is not an option but the jackets are sized up a little from a typical LARGE jacket. As for knee padding, yes, it's the same in Arctic Armor Plus as it is in the standard Arctic Armor. The Plus suit features a brushed tricot (i.e. fleece) lining.

Sandmannd Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm pretty tall (6'3") and have a 2xl and the sleeves fit perfect. Not usually the case when I buy stuff. They are actually a little long and it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Otter Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 There is also a limited supply of suits in Green Bay Packer colors. For all you Packer fans, it's the suit for you."I don't want to work, I just want to bang on my drums all day..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegleg Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The insulation for the Arctic Armor Green Bay colored suits is made out of recycled cheese heads for better floation... The suits also only come in XXXL and have a built in cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinJohn Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks guys. Ok last question, I am 6'0", weigh 185 with 34x32 pants. Large or XL? I appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swags_7 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks guys. Ok last question, I am 6'0", weigh 185 with 34x32 pants. Large or XL? I appreciate the help. I'm same height,5 pounds heavier, and wear the same jean size. I got the large coat and the medium bibs. They fit perfectly. The jacket will have plenty of room to put several layers underneath if you wish. I would have been swimming with too much room if i got the large bibs.

Doop Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hey guys, just to update...I got to the bottom of the one post I had on here about Dick's Sporting Goods not having arctic armor....as was previously stated...they WILL carry the arctic armor but not until November. I didn't want any false info about that. A lot of the stores if you call though...have no idea they are going to carry it. BUT THEY ARE! I spoke with the VP of sales who happens to be on this forum yesterday from I.D.I. and he was able to set me straight. Very nice to talk with you Greg! Thanks for all the help. I normally wear an XL in everything....after reading some of the other posts I'm thinking I should drop down to a large. I'm 6'3" and weigh about 185. I'd hate to look like Steve Erkel if I went with a large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarsusd81 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Doop, I am about the same weight but 6" shorter. You must be a skinny dude Anyway, when I tried it on at the Game Fair, I fit pretty darn well in a Large, both coat and bibs. I would think that a Large coat would fit you well but an XL on the bibs would probably be better for you. From what TO told me out there, the waist doesn't get bigger, but the inseam does get longer from Large on up. Double check with them, but it might be the way for you to go. But for sure a Large coat will do you fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolguie Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I just bought my Arctic Armor suit from Reel Fishing Outfitters. They are wonderful to work with. I would highly suggest stopping in to try the suits on in person being the jackets do run slightly larger in size. The floatation of the suit is great being I do ice fish early and late in the season. Its a nice feeling knowing if I do go through I will float. You can get ahold of the guys at Reel Fishing Outfitters at 507.243.3388 or email them at [email protected]. They also have a huge spread on the Arctic Armor suits on their HSOforum www.[YouNeedAuthorization].com. Its well worth it to stop in and talk with the guys at Reel Fishing Outfitters in Madison Lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
