Re: arctic shield
I have a jacket - its pretty good but its nothing special. Its not crazy warm or anything. It bought it because I believed the hype. I find I still have to layer under it.

Re: arctic shield
No experience with these, however, the Arctic Shield booty blankets (over boots) work well for me. They are occasionally on sale from Cabelas
Re: arctic shield

not expecting them to be the warmest thing ever just hope their well made .

Re: arctic shield
I've never owned any of the Arctic Shield stuff but I would highly recommend the Cabelas Wooltimate Fleece . It has a windstopper lining and I have found it to very warm and they put it on sale every week or so and sometimes with free shipping . Just have to check their website every day or two for the best deals .
Re: arctic shield
the arctic shield covers are very thin and rolls up small for packing .not like those big ole boot blankets. if you put them on just when you get in the stand they hold the heat in very well.amythntr wrote:nyexhunter wrote:No experience with these, however, the Arctic Shield booty blankets (over boots) work well for me.

the pants are supost to be waterproof and wind proof and have the same heat holding properties. Im agree with Monica on this one though ..still need to layer.

Re: arctic shield
There are different levels of insulation in Artic Shield parkas and pants as indicated by price. I caught some of the "H8" on sale last year and it's very warm but is sized to be worn over other clothes. You still have to wear "something" under a Heater Body Suit. Nothing will keep you warm by itself. The warmest stuff on the planet is Raven Wear, but is priced out of sight for most of us.

Re: arctic shield
I have used Arctic Shield for years and it's the best stuff I've owned. I've got the full parka and bibs. Yes, you absolutely have to layer under them and that's crucial. I've found it needs to be really cold for these but this is where the layering comes in. I've worn these in > -50 C in Grand Prairie, Alberta and they are awesome. But, I had on my base layer, and midweight then heavy weight underlayers. This is a must in extreme temps.. You'll find that as soon as you put them on you need to be by the door and get outside immediately or you'll over heat and start sweating. What I've noticed is that if you're sitting in a blind or stand long enough you'll start to get cold but my experience is that by the time I feel it the guys I'm with are already freezing cold. As I mentioned, I've had these for years and they are very well made. They are expensive but in my opinion well worth the money. Both for quality and functionality. I do recommend the Arctic Shield.
