Clam Ice Armor rise float jacket

[rdhammah]

Hi, guys! cane you guys who have this or have had it give me a review? pros, cons? excessive wear on the sleaves where it may rub on the pockets? TIA

I have the bids and had the jacket. The mistake I made was that instead of a large, I should have bought an xl. Didn't have much room for layering underneath. Other than that I had no complaints.

The jacket is amazingly warm. Fished with it in -25 and was toasty warm. Used it many times in subzero temps. Performed exceptionally. Never had the clam bibs.

what is your chest measurement? Not interested in your body, just trying to guage roominess in the jacket. LOL I have a clam unisulated jacket in Large and it fits fine on me with a lot of layered clothing. I would plan on wearing thermals, wool shirt and a wool vest or sweatshirt

I have this set up and love it.  It is very warm and the quality is very good.  I do recommend buying one size up.

I have the Artic Armor, but my buddy has the Ice Armor. It's really nice, has plenty of pockets with zippers, and looks sharp.

After having the Clam Edge series of jacket/bibs for many years, I purchased the Rise float jacket and bibs.  I normally wear an XL, but like to wear a heavy sweatshirt under the jacket when I am inside and can take the jacket off, so I upsized both the jacket and bibs to the XXL. 

Love the fit, plenty of room, and is holding up after one season of use.  No quality issues on the suit so far.  Think this is a good purchase and would recommend it.  Pockets are plenty, good room and I like the location of the vents - helps remove heat and moisture.

Price is good, you may be able to start finding them on sale on websites.

Just ordered from reeds. they do price match but take Marine Genera'l shipping into consideration. $121.99 net. I also took your advice and upsized to XL. Thanks, guys!

Wow!  that is a good price!  Just looked that up on their website.

46". If you wear bibs you also have to take that into consideration.

So I decided to order the Rise Float Jacket for $99.88.  It arrived today.  I’m very impressed with the quality.  Well worth the money.

Mine arrived today too. very supple compared to my Frabil. Frabil is very stiff. the materiel appears to be more durable. I really don't want to find out if it will float me, though. Very comfortable. glad that I upsized to a XL.

Glad you're happy with it.  It's good gear.

Decided to pull the trigger last night and ordered the matching bibs (charcoal/orange) for 134.99.  Looking forward to hitting the ice in new threads.

Yes it is.
