I have a set. Green bottom and camo top. I would not get the camo top again as I believe the fabric is lighter than the green or black and they would be warmer. They do not breath, so when pulling take the Jacket off or you will get damp from sweat. Like Pymy last winter with ~mile pulls through foot of snow.

I just got the red and black idi suit and love it.  Used it for first time in heavy winds blowing snow and 14 degrees and never felt cold or wind.  Also kneeled on the ice for awhile and still never felt the ice through the knees.


 RGIII keeps a bench mighty warm

I got the Camo top and bottom and had it for 2 (this will be 3) seasons now and absolutely love it! I use them for hunting extreme cold also and they take a beating. Late ice the first year I had it I broke through in shallow water to test it on purpose and it does exactly what it's supposed to. I would highly recommend them to anyone that goes out early and late ice. Still would rather stay on top but it is nice to have for that day of bad luck.

Last 2 seasons out in the -10 or colder temps and with the wind blowing for an even colder wind chill I wore sweat pants and a long sleeve t-shirt with a hoodie under the Arctic armour and was more than warm enough. It completely blocks the wind from getting through

I'm 6'3" and 250 and have a 6'7" wing span so I have the long arm syndrome also and I got the 2x and it's big on me. Problem also is you really can't (don't want to) layer under it cause you will sweat to death walking to and from spots. Was out today on Pymy in sweatpants, a t-shirt, and hoodie with the AA bibs unzipped and the coat just zipped about 1" to keep it closed and you would have swore it was 100* out the way I was sweating. Even last year in the -10 or colder days that's all I'd wear and be sweating. Definitely keeps you warm though.
