Has anyone ever used there parka?  It seems real light which would be nice if it works.  Please let me know if this is a better idea or just marketing hype!!  Thanks  Buckfever

For those that missed Buckfevers new subtopic, (subject)

ARCTIC SHIELD is the name, not arctic wear.

Haven't tried the parka but I have a pair of the gloves and they are the best I have ever had.  I need a 3XXL in a parka and that's hard to find.

Hey, Bud they offer a 3XL.  But don't take that as an endorsement from me.  I am a hunter that is trying to figure out if this product really works or if it is Markrting Hype!  Buckfever

Either this stuff is still relatively new, or not many guys have it yet. Or both. Anyone wanting a peek at the website, here it is...

I am thinking of following up on acearch72's coment as per the gloves. A pair of gloves that will keep ones hands warm in cold weather while remaining somewhat inactive (treestand) must be worth their weight in gold. Mabie start out small (glove purchase) and go from there.

Well Gent's IMHO this product is very warm but it makes a crinkling noise with any type of movement.  If they can re-engineer that the weight and heat retention are excellent.  I am waiting to see if they can.  So for now it appears that engineering made a product and never asked a hunter what was important, very noisy.  Just my humble opinion.  Buckfever
