Arctic Armor


cold one sd

Recommended Posts

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

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.

If anyone is looking to try the suits on for sizing, we are the largest stocking dealer in Minnesota. We stock from XS to XXXL in Red/Black, Camo and the new Green Plus suit. We can also ship anyplace in the US.

For those that visited us at Game Fair in Anoka and the Great Outdoor Festival in OshKosh, enjoy your suits. The Farmer's Almanac is predicting colder than normal and more snow in Jan/Feb.

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.

The Green suits will be available at OutdoorProStore.com as soon as they are available to stores.

OutdoorProStore.com is the only place you can get an HSO Arctic Armor suit with the HSO logo.

The suits are in route and will be available soon. I am in almost daily contact with the manufactuer since I have several customers waiting for them. I will post when they are available at our store.

Reel Fishing & Tackle is a great place to go to to get Arctic Armor suits. Joe will treat you right.

"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.

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.

Should have a built in flask.....maybe I should patent that....

Anyway, Northlander thank you for the information!

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.

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. smile BUT THEY ARE!

I spoke with the VP of sales who happens to be on this forum smile 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.

Doop, I am about the same weight but 6" shorter. You must be a skinny dude grin 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.

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.
