the artic armor is the single warmest clothing I have worn. not bulky and above all will float you with no PFD on. not saying it is a PFD replacment, but i am saying if you get caught without PFD it will float you. I have tried mine!

Hat55, Arctic Armor: i.d.i gear - outdoor apparel - hunting, ice fishing, swimwear. Mine will be shipped today.

Got one headed my way.

I wear merino wool base layer and my outer layer is Cabelas Outfiitter Berber fleece with windshear. Best hunting clothes I've ever bought. Super soft and not bulky.

Went to the website to take a look, wondering if they stay dry with a zipper? Don't see how they could.
Also found a boot that looks a lot like the Redhead, made by Wolverine for the same price$99. But, no reviews or even a description.
Also curious about Muck Boots, they seem to be popular around here.

I'm on my second pair of cold weather Muck boots and don't believe they can be beat by any of their competitors. Lots of companies make this type boot. My first pair lasted 8 years with heavy use (pheasant hunting in snow and icy conditions.) You can get them in all temp ratings and they are pretty accurate. They also cost a little more than their competitors. You need to be careful choosing them as there are so many different models. Occasionally, you will see them on sale at Cabelas or BPS but you need to check the version it is. They also have warmer weather versions. Mine are not the coldest weather versions because I got them for hunting and some can get too warm with much walking. Mine keep my feet warm in the boat also. I also have a set of warm weather ones that I used strictly for bowhunting or squirrel hunting -- snakeproof! I would highly recommend the Muck boots. They can be heavy but I have always found them warm and comfortable. Here is a link where you can see the various boots they sell.
