Artic Armor Question
« on: Nov 26, 2010, 10:33 PM »
IS the regular suits warm enough or do you really need the plus suits?   I am trying to decide which to buy.

I'm only aware of 1 type of arctic armor. Are you talking about ice armor suits?

If you are talking about arctic armor and they came out with something warmer than the traditional suit that I own and am familiar with.............you don't need anything warmer than the original. I keep my coat unzipped the majority of the time on the ice, it's hot

The plus suit has an addition layer of Tricot fabric to give the suit a softer touch when it's in contact with your skin.

I don't think it has much thermal qualities to it.

the regular suit is plenty warm enough...the plus does have the nice lining though and I think it is a nice feature if you want it for $20 extra!!

It's a fine line between fishing & sitting on the ice like an idiot

The Tricot Lining does not slide very good over your under cloths.

nope, it just gonna feel alittle nicer on your skin. It is however gonna be harder to slide on and off due to the tricot.

The plus suit has a microfiber lining...more comfy on skin.  I have one, the suit is downright hot when you're active.  I wouldn't worry about being cold at all.
