    Re: Birthday present from my wife and kids

    Man, that stuff is GOOD...........I used it this weekend. While it was not FREEEZING like Dale weather, it was cold in the mornings.

    I wore light nylon pants and a light nylon shirt. AND the Arctic Armor. On Thursday, it rained all day and didn't get much above 50 degrees. It worked GREAT as rain gear, and had great warmth.

    On Friday and Saturday, the mornings were very cold. Again, it worked great.

    In fact, by 10am or so I had to strip it off because it was too warm.

    I cannot wait until Dale fishing.

    Geo I bought that last year just because of the safety factor and I agree it is nice also light weight. I got it late so have not had it in real cold weather yet. I am waiting on you to jump in the lake and give us a report.

    Re: Birthday present from my wife and kids

    Well, I have another report about my artic armor gear..........

    We were out all day Sunday 11/27, and it rained pretty good. A lot more than my last trip.

    Basically the gear FAILED as raingear. It might work OK for a small amount of rain, but this was the first time in a LONG time that I've been totally soaked....AND I mean SOAKED. Head to toe. Once the stuff got wet internally, and started to saturate, it simply wicked it to my body, and after a few hours I was completely wet. The only part that was not wet was my core where there was coverage from the bibs AND the jacket.

    I'm seriously unhappy, and will be contacting the manufacture to discuss this.

    Was anyone else out this sunday using it. Probably not, since it was not that cold, but I wanted to do a thorough rain test in weather that was not too cold.....

    I will let you guys know what I hear from the vendor.

    Later,

    Geo
