    I recently purchased the Ice Armor Extreme (gray) suit and could not be happier with it. Wow.

    Like James said previously some of the suits seem light and not nearly as warm. This suit fits the bill of VERY warm. Been riding the ATV in below zero w/ wind and the only thing that gets chilled is my face. It’s fantastic AND light weight. I love it. Spent $320 on it at Cabela’s right after Christmas. It’s a HUGE step up quality-wise from the blue suit. I also tried the floating suit and it didn’t seem nearly as high quality in construction, feel, and warmth. But that’s just me. Try ’em all on for yourself to see what fits your needs the best.

    After watching the video that definately persuaded me with all the options and pockets. Also the reinforced knees is a big issue for me with jumping holes all the time, i’m on my knees most of the day fishing.

    I love this website and I have never had on a Sno Suit, so remember that. But I own a Suit called Arctic Armor and absolutely love it. I bought it for $299 for the bibs and coat(delivered to my door) but they are in red, now you can buy them for $320 for bibs and coat in Mossy Oak also. I got mine from Walleye Dan in Brainerd. The one nice thing about these is if you were to fall in the lake you will FLOAT!! Not trying to take anything away from Sno Suit, but I know mine was $180 cheaper, and I know you get what you pay for, but that is alot of money for most people. Just another option and I liked these 100 times better than the Ice Armor suits, so don’t get them confused.

    That’s the floater I was referring to as well. Seemed like a nice setup. I think comfort and warmth wise it seemed like a step up from the blue suit (Ice Armor) and not nearly as warm as the gray Extreme suit (Ice Armor). I haven’t tried the SnoSuit, but I’m sure it’s outstanding as well.

    While we are on the topic. What do you guys recommend for boots to wear. I have a terrible time keeping my feet warm in cold weather. Fall fishing in the boat or on the ice both bother me. I can pheasant hunt all day and have toasty feet from the movement, but when I am relatively stationary for a long time fishing, my feet freeze. Thanks.

    Jumped on Montana’s web site last night and found out I got my tag for the Charles M Russell in eastern Montana yesterday and Im pumped!!! Cant wait to get back out there and see those Monster Elk and Gi-Normus Mulies. This area of the CMR is without a doubt my favorite place on the planet to hunt Elk and Mulies. With little to no gun pressure and a couple million acres of untouched ground the place is a mecca. Im leaving sept 18 and coming home on sept 27. now Im really going to be pushing the work out plan, no more of the half azz lally gagging I have been doing the last 2 months.

    Yah Rip,
    one of my buddies that are going with this year said he was going to shoot the first oversized calf elk he saw so that he could concentrate on shooting a big Mulie. In 05 we saw a 5×5 that was honestly pushing 3 feet wide and the brow tines hade to be close to 6 inches long. it was by far the biggest mulie I have ever seen dead OR alive. The hard part about the area we are in is that the whitetails get huge too and they get mighty tempting when they come down to water at the same spot the same time every night a guy could put a covert blind up on the edge of the willows by the water and fill all of our deer tags with dandy whitetail bucks by the 3rd night almost guarenteed. unfortunatly the elk and mulies dont come down to the resivour till after dark, but then it would be to easy

    Big G what area did you apply for? I drew 798-15 as my first choice
    I put 620-15 as my second choice and 410-15 as my third.
    798-15 was where we went in 2005.
