New Vexilar Ice Suit
« on: Oct 13, 2006, 03:07 PM »
Has anyone seen the new ice fishing outfits? They look pretty good and a lot less $$$ than the Ice Armor suits. Could be adding one to my arsenal this year.

Actually, I think Ice Armor makes these for Vexilar, though it isn't mentioned on the site, that I can find.  I could be wrong- but they do make other jackets for Vexilar.
Hmmm.

If you ask the Iceteam guys you are stupid to have a Marcum "You must fish with a Vexilar"     I have a Marcum and a Vexilar, a mustang suit, a Clam trap, Ht Blue Rods, Aqua-vu (sponser of vex/Genz) so does it really matter????  its your money buy and use what you want :)

Im not pro or againts the ice team, tehy have come out with some great gear, I have an ice armour suit and it is excellent, well worth the dough, but on the other hand the gloves they have a not as advertised and need to be improved.

The Vex suit looks nice, not a big fan of the all black look, I think these companies would sell more suits if they offered a bigger array of colours

These suits are not made by Ice Team, they are made by Clam corporation. I think, but not certain, IT was started by someone from Clam corp.

Just one tidbit of information.

The Vexilar suit is water/wind resistant and not waterproof.  the only area that is waterproof is the padded knees.  The same goes for Strikemaster's suit.  I tried the Ice Armors, but alas I am a member of the short and stout club.  The requirements are having an inseam smaller than your waist! ;D

So far I'm really sold on my suit. It has better insulation than my oldest boy's ice armor. They have these on sale now. Almost wish I'd waited.
                                                   ALMOST!!

I figured the ice armor suit would be a little warmer. I am not opposed to wearing necessary clothing under but I was under the impression that it would be self sustaining....hmmmm, nest season ice armor might be 4sale to upgrade.

I ordered and received my new Vexilar suit in 5 days.  There has been a price cut and I only spent $ 154 + shipping on the set.  The suit has everything the web site claims.  I am 6' and 215 lbs  and needed to send the parka back,  size XL for an XXL.  the sizing chart on the web site indicated I should be an XL (didn't account for my hand auger built muscles!)  The parka's fit did not allow enough room for me to wear a jacket of fleece liner without pulling at the wrist and shoulders.  The pants in size XL fit fine.  The customer service reps were very helpful when I called to ask for the exchange.

One thing that I was not prepared for.  The description says there are three "Vexilar Logos" on the parka, one being a large logo on the back.  By "large" they mean NASCAR large.  If you buy one of these you will be noticed!  I hope that others fishing don't think I am a 'Team Guy' or some other poser!
