    Default cold weather suit


    I am thinking of purchasing a ice armor suit but dont know weather to get the blue suit or the gray suit. I would use it for work in the hvac field, and for ice fishing and boat fishing in the winter months. Which one would be better for me? I dont like to be cold and miserable

    The blue will provide visibility, the gray will hide dirt. Weigh your needs. To be honest, there are some suits getting far enough down in price now if you stay away from the floaters that you could buy two [one for fishing, one specifically for work] for what some of the branded suits cost and they'll do just as decent of a job keeping you warm.

    I have the Arctic Armor Plus. No frozen lakes in the south but it's still a warm suit. Great wind breaker while running to fishing hole at 50 mph. I have also tried it out and it will float you. I'm 265 lbs and it will keep you above water. Now I tried it in the summer just so I would know just in case I fall in. You cannot swim in it but just lay on your back and paddle. I paddled 100 yds or so across the river and back. Rested when I need to and made it just fine.
    The sweetest of all sounds is (Get the nets that's a 3 lb'er)
