Ice fishing outerwear

[Scott N]

I just wanted to take an informal poll to see what everyone likes to wear for outerwear while on the ice. What do you like to wear while out on the ice?

I use waterproof/windproof/breathable pants/insulted bibs/jacket and coat that double for hunting. Works good for me. Bought at CT and walmart.

How do you find your mobility with the bib?

[huntsfurfish]

I havent had any issues. I also layer clothing so I can adjust as needed. I prefer bibs helps keep lower back warmer/no draft. Only issue I have is they hold a little water/get wet on the outside and sometimes freeze when kneeling a lot. Have another pair for next day fishing if they dont dry out in time(forget).

edit: now take a puzzle floor mat piece when i check holes(also easier on the knees).

Pair of sweats, T max undershirt, t shirt, work coat and insulated bibs with my boots. If its -25 or colder I throw on a full thermal onesie to keep the chill off.

Proper sized bib goes a long way, to small and as you bend over you'll be force feeding that thing up your rear! I went a bit bigger to avoid it!

I wear insulated rubber boots exclusively for footwear, and if its really icy/slippery a pair of NEOS overtop... bottom-half; long underwear, sweats, and my Carhartt Sherpa-lined pants (the Sherpa lined are the warmest ive found, and very durable)... top half is usually a longsleeve Carhartt work-dry shirt, a "fitted" fleece pullover of some kind, then a hoodie and a windproof shell...

Mostly I always wear a smile when I am icefishing.

Otherwise, layered clothes according to weather.
