Deitz Dittrich Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Arctic Armor, and yes, would buy them again in a heart beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWadeS Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I ususally bring along my neoprene waterfowl gloves and those seem to work well for reaching into the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have a couple pairs I use. I have Arctic Armor X mittens for extreme weather. My normal gloves are Manzella gloves. There are a few models that are similar, the ones I use are called "Head On", and Manzella's are in my opinion the best gloves out there.

Northlander Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Arctic Armor here too. I would buy them again if they had a xxl one. The xl are just to tight on my big hands.They are nice and warm and waterproof. Great for hole hopping and pulling your house out on the ice. I use them for shoveling and snow blowing as well.If its real cold and Im snowmobiling I like a light glove under some good choppers with a wool liner.

This is the exact problem I have with my big mitts. The XL's are to tight and they do not make and XXL. But If they did I would but another pair.

NCLaker Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I've never tried the Arctic Armor gloves ... Looking at pictures they look very similar to Ice Armor gloves (only they use white piping instead of red).Are they basically the same glove?

PerchJerker Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I wear Arctic Armor Gloves when pulling my portable, running my auger, fishing outside when it's really cold, etc. I wore them for most of the deer hunting season too.I wear insulated elk skin gloves the rest of the time, I like how warm they are and I like how easily they slip on and off.

Sandmannd Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I got a pair of arctic armor gloves last year with my suit and haven't turned back. They are great gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Cecil where can I find those head on gloves. I have searched all over and cant find them. e-mail me if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakemcarroll Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I always bring a few pairs. I usually just wear a pair of thin cotton gloves with possibly a pair of the fingerless gloves with the flip over mittens, but I usually wear my choppers while pulling my gear and drilling holes.

Rope Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Northlander,I went to the manufacture web site and there was not a glove with that name.Lots of good lookin gloves on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I like to use a pair of wool fingerless gloves inside a pair of chopper mittens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMF89 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Ice Armor and Ice ArmorX here, I love the things. The Ice Armors aren't completely water proof, and aren't made for extreme conditions, but the Ice ArmorXs are awesome gloves, I've had my pair for two seasons and they're still just like new. They also come in mittens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan z Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 just the noraml length ice armour gloves, $30 and yes I will prolly buy another pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twins 57 Fan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Neoprene is tough to beat because they are waterproof. Not the warmest though so grab some choppers for "downtime" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rope Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks for all the replies.Like Northlander,I also have large hands.This makes it a little harder to find good gloves that fit.Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreen82 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 i have ice armor gloves that i always bring with along with my choppers, but for most of the day i am barehanded. i throw the ice armors on when digging in the water and checking tipups then they get thrown back in front of the heater. i would buy another.

croixflats Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I resort to the tried and true choppers with wool liners, gives me plenty of room for circulation. I have poor circulation and 2 short fingers that are really sensitive to the cold if not active so gloves dont work for me all that well.

caseymcq Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I would have to agree with croixflats. For keeping my hands and fingers warm I have bought North American Outfitters Deerskin mittens at Gander for $10and they keep my hands warmer than anything. I kid you not for $10 you can have warm hands. I have been outside in -30 weather with these on and my hands stayed nice and toasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
