MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Currently I wear my wool hunting clothes under my 1 piece Carthartt suit. Any one try the ice jackets and bibs Eskimo make are they worth it?
This question is like asking for advise on picking a wife..I like a poly propylene base, wool pants( also wear camo fleece),wool sweater and under armor nylon hooded sweatshirt, during cold spells I wear a wool vest over it, , I have striker bibs and jacket, but only wear the jacket when irs realy cold or windy..I wear polypropylene liners and a single pair of wool socks, if its sloppy, I wear muck artic pro, if it's cold and snow, I wear Baffin snow monsters
Anyone familiar with RefrigiWear? I have a vintage coverall (I called it my snowmobile suit) which I purchased from Al’s Rod & Gun back in The 60’s…it is the warmest garment ive ever owned and it’s still like new as I only used it for sledding/ice fishing back in the day and for extreme cold/snow removal now. The front zipper broke a couple years back so I called the company (still manufacturing cold weather clothing in the USA) I believe in Georgia. They have a repair shop there so I vacuum packed it and sent it in. The ladies in the repair shop were all tickled that this 60 year old suit was still in great condition and sent me an email to that affect when it was finished being repaired. When ai asked the price of the repair the lady said “oh, no charge!” That is service after the sale that goes above and beyond. They put out a pretty comprehensive catalog and online sales of course. In their catalog they have an old magazine ad showing where their product can be purchased and sure enough “Al’s Rod&Gun” was on that list! 😂 ahhh nostalgia!
I sure am...as I mentioned above. I have this jacket (mine has a hood) with matching pants that I bought back in the mid '90's and still wear them to this day. I wear it as my last layer before my ice suit. Good stuff and great price.https://refrigiwear.com/product/cooler-wear-jacket/

👍I agree wholeheartedly!
As soon as I saw Al's rod and gun I knew itvwas you,there arnt many of us that remember that place,
Another vote for striker. I got their trekker bibs and jacket for $240 with free shipping from the tackle shack linked in the page ads. Not sure if they are still offering that deal but might be worth checking out.
The trekkers are the lighter weight, right? Meant for being mobile without getting overheated?I'm keeping my eye out for a decent set of waterproof (ideally float suit) bibs. I'm typically fishing in slightly warmer weather, have a hub in case it's too cold to just sit out, and about 50% of my fishing requires a bit of a haul out to the ice
Good to knowRight now, while all the stores are starting to pug gear and tackle on sale, the clothing is still at full price
