ice armor gloves
« on: Dec 24, 2013, 01:22 PM »
was just at field and stream store looking at the ice armor gloves thought I would pass on what I saw.the xl ultra gloves were hard to get on and were tight,the extreme gloves in xl I could not get on.so unless you have some little hands best look elsewere.

i have a pair. leaked like a mug. told them, sent them in, they sent me new ones, they leak like a  mug

no more repeating for me
besides fitting poorly, the thumb has a micro fleece covering that falls apart right away

good call on taking a pass on that one!

I have had 3 pairs over the years biggest gimmick there is on the shelf, they are not warm, they are not dry and they will maybe last a trip or 2 before the stitching starts comin out, once wet they streach out of shape and stay that way....Did I mention they were junk?....

I got the fleece ice armor gloves a few years back as a gift, really had no problems with them, but they also run small. The XL's are like a large at best...

So what was wrong with them? Must have been pretty water tight if they leak like a mug (mugs don't leak).

Sorry, had to!  ;D

actually they "were real water proof" when new. shortly after pulling some fish out with a gloved hand they started leaking as the plastic bag thats sewn into them became more and more exposed and the thumb was falling apart more and more and the seams

so yeah, like a mug. works great when new, until it gets a crack because you used it

I bought a set for myself and both of my sons last season.  3 pairs of gloves and you can't make one good set out of all of them put together right now with all the holes in them.  Garbage.

I have the mitts as well, and can't say they are the warmest. They are warmer than the finger gloves for obvious reasons.   For $30/pair I was hoping for a better quality glove.  As for sizing, yes they are off, try them on in the store.  I don't use them to pull fish out of the hole, but does the job, not exposing my hands to the wind. 

Rubber is the only durable waterproof material I have ever used. (no disrespect to anyone).

I don't like how they have the plastic "bag" in them, they can't breath and then your hands are wet and clammy from that.  Yeah and they are not waterproof to begin with.

Hmmm..........I find this thread quite interesting. Starting third season with my IceArmor Extreme gloves & with the exception of a few stains they pretty much look brand new. They do run small in size as I had to go with an XL, which fits just perfect. If the old thermometer falls below zero my hands start getting cold in them, so I would agree that they're not the warmest glove on the market. For me they've performed well for what I use them for, but they're not by any means the best glove on the market & they don't live up to the "IceArmor hype". Would I buy another pair?............Maybe.

As far as the warmest gloves in my arsenal, a pair of blue Glacier Gloves. Second season on these & my hands have never got cold in them no matter how far that temp falls below zero. Anyways, just my 2cents. Take care, stay safe out on the hardwater, & Merry Christmas !!

I bought a pair several years ago and they are still my go to glove for snow blowing or shoveling.  I really like them and their durability has not let me down.  The thumb is starting to wear thin now though.  Last year I bought a 2nd pair and still haven't used them, as Im waiting for my old pair to give out.  The Velcro on the cuff need improvement though.

Glacier Bay alaskan river series gloves. They are half finger, and have a waterproof padded palm so you can grab and unhook fish time and again without removing the glove, or getting it wet and cold.

I used the gloves when I plowed the driveway and I can tall ya one thing for sure, the mittens are much warmer then the gloves. Gloves are not as good as I was hoping, but will get the job done. Glad I'll have both though.

OK, after some usage, the gloves are junk is my review. Used em on the wheeler 3 times so far and the stitching is already starting to give. Gonna contact them and see if they will take em back in trade for another pair of mittens cus these would never hold up fishing.  :%$#!:
