I just got my second Arctic Armor suit and they are worth every penny. I got the one with floatation this time and they will keep you warm even in our Wyoming winds.Wyohunter
I have had my first arctic suit for about 4 years now with no problems. I usually wear a pair of sweats under it and stay warm enough that I can leave the top unfasted most days.
Thanks for the info Kieth. The wife just saw your post and totally agreed on the under the ice cold water thing.Sooooo apparently it's now been decided.LOLKieth, I was just wondering if theres much fishing on the Niobrara I used to guide for whitetails and muleys south of Rushville but in all my time there I never saw any fish bigger than a minnow.
I apologize for bumping this old thread...just my two cents...I am in my 10th season on my Cabela's Guide wear. Still repels rain like it did when it was new. I went for the Bibs and the Parka to stay nice and dry. The only place you will ever get wet is down the front when you forget to zip it all the way up. When it is really cold I wear mine with a duofold long underwear, sweats, wool pants and then the Bibs on the bottom. Tee shirt, knit henley, sweatshirt and then fleece on top. I am talkin' about ice up weather now. You can then peel a layer as the day gets warmer. I just purchased a light weight pair of Frog Togs this year for the summer however. The Guide wear is just to warm. Don't forget something warm and dry for your head and feet. You can get mighty miserable with a cold wet head and cold wet feet.
Is the striker suit a coast guard approved flotation device?
Is the striker suit a coast guard approved flotation device? Personally I like my frabil set because it is.
