Yea Im just over 6'8" @ about 285-290. Mainly need legnth... I know it will be a little baggy but thats better than it being a short sleeve lol!

I'm planning on getting a set before first Ice.  I've been to Gander Mountain, Bass Pro, Lunkers, and Cabella's the only place I've seen them is online.  I'd like to try em on before I purchase a set................... Where do I go?  Wisconsin?

Havent worn one, but know plenty of guys who love them......

This one is a gimme... everyone should have one... Especially if you are married... Convince the wife about the "safety factor" and have her get you one for Christmas...

Now we just need a flasher that you can throw as a life buoy, a power auger that can prevent frostbite and snowmobiles that will take you home if you are lost in a storm!... I think these Arctic Armor guys are brilliant! High quality gear that the wife (if explained properly) will INSIST that you have!  We are on to something!

Im 6'5 265 and the 3x fits me great. I got the camo version and love it. I wear it hunting,musky fishing in the fall and all ice fishing season. You wont need to layer too much these things are warm.

Indeed! I know my wife will feel better knowing Im wearing something that will keep my big butt afloat...She will probably insist on paying me for the jacket and call it my x-mas present...atleast I hope lol

I need to go fishing with you at first ice so that you can be my thin ice tester.  I'll be 10 steps behind you.   

[gillcommander]

I've worn my deer hunting too...very toasty I say!!!

 

[Fishslayer81]

Thats not the first time I have herd that lol! 280 seems to be avg. weight for ice fisherman hehe. I see guys 300+ on the ice alot...

I got my black artic armour bib yesterday, nice fit,, like the padded knees i'm about 195lbs 5' 8 and this large is more on the big side.. i probably could of went medium but i'm keeping this one.

[SLABSLAMMER]

Got my Arctic Armor suit from Mainedog and wore it deer hunting the other morning (it was 26 degrees when i left house) had a pair of jeans ang sweat sirt underneath and camo net on outside and I was perfect setting for 3 hrs in stand. This suit i think is going to be great for ice fishing .

[Mainedog]

Glad to see you are getting use out of it already!
You going to put that ice shanty patch on it?

MD

[High Tide]

Artic suits are defintely nice if you can afford it... And the padded knees make it easier on the body, not to mention, they stay relatively dry when hole hoppin.

[mtbusch]

My previous post was harmless and on topic anyway, i was trying to post  a reply to hightide,.. I can't compromise safety for the same price i'd pay burning up a couple full tanks of gas. This was first on my list of gear for thiscoming  season.  tight lines

What does safety have to do with my post, and if you have any questions, please feel free to IM.

[Fishslayer81]

Just got my arctic armor jacket today! I cant believe how warm it is for the weight... it feels like a light weight spring jacket. needless to say Im sending the cabelas bibs back and buying arctic armor bibs lol!!

[Hoosier]

do me a favor high tide and buy the ice armour instead of the artic armour

With the PSI of HOT AIR in High Tide...I aint skeered for him, he will FLOAT!!!!!

Dang... that hurts...LOL.  All these years I could have blamed the hot air on safety purposes! And to think I just bought some ice armour because mtbusch said so, I guess I can return the ice armor now and save some money to get a few more trips in!  One of these days, maybe I'll figure out this ice-fishing thing!

Doesnt work that way for me. I send the little guys out first. That way if they go through its easier to pull them out with rope. You know hard it would be to pull 265 pounds out of a hole vers 190?

[Fishslayer81]

^ good point lol
