Artic Armor
« on: Feb 02, 2010, 04:48 PM »
Question, I just watched  a video of how Artic Armor clothing floats, has anyone tried this in a pool, or in the lake in the summer time?

I never tried it with mine, but would rather have a jacket that keeps me warm rather than one that "floats" me when I'm not being responsible

I went with the green and yellow armor as it was on sale and I don't mind looking like a Green Bay Packer.   I've used it all winter so far and I really like the suit.    I can't compare it to any other type as this is the first suit I've bought but I've been out in our coldest weather this year all day and wasn't cold at all.
Hope I never have to find out how it floats me.

Yes that is correct according to flaggs he did stay afloat  when he feel in early in the season and it allowed him to roll out on to the ice then he tried to stand up to soon and feel in again the next time he rolled out of the water he went about 50 feet past were he went in and stood up.  The way I understand it is the suit is designed to keep the fee arms and neck afloat in turn allowing yu to get out of hole or back to land.  I am saving my pennies as we speak as the life vest at the end of theseason is very uncomfotable.  The things we do to chace fish around.
