Striker Ice

Hello Everyone. Question about bibs. Im looking at purchasing new bibs and jacket. Interested in the striker ice hardware bibs and jacket. I owned the ice force bibs previously and just trying to get feedback which one is warmer. Thanks

I cant comment on the hardwater bibs but I have the climate jacket and bibs, by far the warmest outdoor clothing I have owned, a plus to the climate are the removeable liners if temps are’nt that frigid.

I haven’t used the Ice Force bibs so I cannot compare the 2, what I can tell you is that I love my Striker’s. I have the Predators and they’re extremely warm. I fish outside on the ice a lot and they’re perfect for it.

I also can’t make the comparison. But I purchased the Climate suit last year and it’s been great! As others have stated both the jacket and bibs have a zip out layer of insulation so you can use this suit in the Spring/Fall too making it very versatile and making your dollar go a bit further. I moved to this suit from the Cabela’s Guide Wear Insulated bibs and the Striker bibs are much warmer, more comfortable, better padding in the knees and have more convenient pockets.

I have owned striker predator bibs now for 3 years. Only reason I haven’t gotten the jacket is my old frabill jacket is still holding up. Bought the wife a pair of the prism bibs this fall and she has loved them so far for late season fishing. I can say all I will ever buy again will be striker. Add in that they float adds some cheap life insurance to a great product. Can’t compare to ice force suit, but I would imagine it was a suit made by someone else and then they slapped the ice force logo on it. I’m not saying that means it a bad suit, but striker stands behind their stuff for a reason, its quality.

Pretty sure ice force is about 1/5 price of striker climate.

So that’s what you get

I also own the climate suit for at least 3 years now. I was looking for a floating suit that was versatile and less weight than my old camo suit I had from Cabala’s that I had bought when the Owatonna, MN store opened. (Just when was that?)

I’m very pleased!

I have the hardwater bibs and love them! All I wear under them is a base layer, and they are plenty warm! I also like that they have a lot of leg room. I had a different kind of bibs and they were far too tight for a hockey player at least.

I just bought the predator bibs and they’re amazing, they aren’t setup for 1 person, they are designed to fit anyone and everyone. It’s nice because of the adjustable parts near the ankle. Warm and tough, can’t speak much for how they work outdoors because I haven’t had them outside yet but from what I can tell they’re awesome bibs! I got the predator bibs because they’re rated 7 on their warmth factor and I’m usually pretty hot blooded and don’t need the climate suit. I usually have a layer or 2 underneath them anyway. I would recommend the predator suit to anyone and everyone!

I have the climate suit and it is the best. The removable liners are awesome, making it useful Fall, Winter and Spring vs. just winter. I wear the jacket liner as my normal jacket everywhere I go. The adjustable inseam is an awesome feature as well, everything on this suit far exceeded my expectations.

Go ahead, laugh all you want, I’ve talked to more people who have them than you know. Never have I heard a bad thing about them. I sell 3 or 4 suits a day, everyone loves them. I could’ve left the part that I haven’t had mine on the ice, would that make you happier?

Absolutely
