Striker Stealth Gloves
NOTE: THIS IS MEN’S SIZING – SEE ATTACHED SIZE CHART TO COMPARE FOR WOMEN.
The StrikerICE Stealth Glove delivers the same waterproof properties as many other insulated gloves, but without the bulk! Built with a seamless four-way stretch fabric, the stealth glove provides the most dexterity of any glove in StrikerICE’s product mix. Complete waterproof/breathable construction ensures your hands stay warm and dry all day long. The silicone print palm and tech touch fingertips allow you to take a picture of that giant walleye without having to take your gloves off. Additionally, the water-resistant coating helps repel moisture when lighter moisture is present.
Editor’s Note: I think a variety of gloves are needed for ice fishing – I carry A LOT with me to make sure I’m fully prepared and have what I need because all gloves have their positives and negatives. Sometimes you need the warmest glove possible, in which a mitt is the best for traveling; however it’s bulky so you may need to switch to another glove. Sometimes a cloth glove is easy, but it gets wet and snagged with hooks, so you may need to switch to another glove. Sometimes an insulated glove you can quickly slip off to use your fingers for putting on a tiny lure is best, and sometimes it’s so cold you want to avoid having to be without a glove at all times – this is where the Stealth glove can shine. When you can’t wear a bulky glove because you need flexibility and dexterity to do tasks, but absolutely need to protect yourself from cold water and cold air, the Stealth glove is the ticket! It’s WATERPROOF! But also breathable, unlike neoprene gloves. So these will keep your hands dry!
The Stealth glove should really “fit like a glove” being a bit tighter of a glove and fitting the form of your hand well, not being loose at all. This glove is in men’s sizing only – I typically wear a large size in women’s gloves and a medium in men’s gloves. The Stealth glove in a medium fits me perfect, so I find it true to size. ~Jen
Striker Climate Crossover Mitts
NOTE: THIS IS MEN’S SIZING – SEE ATTACHED SIZE CHART TO COMPARE FOR WOMEN.
Why be forced to choose between the dexterity a glove provides and the warmth of a mitten?! Featuring 300D Shell Material on back of hand, a Hipora® waterproof shell and a closure to hold the mitt back when you need to tie a knot, the Climate Crossover Mitt is the best of both worlds. A glove on the move, a mitten for warmth – the Crossover is what you need, when you need it!
Editor’s Note: These are a great glove to get the best of both worlds with the warmth of a mitt that you can then quickly flip back to use your fingers for tasks, but without being fully exposed to the elements when it’s especially cold out. You can also add a hand warmer to the mitt part for extra warmth. When ice fishing, I carry LOTS of gloves with me so I have what I need and can switch when needed – these are such a great option to have for your ice fishing and winter gear!
I have long, larger hands for a woman, so I typically wear a size large in women’s gloves and a size medium in men’s gloves – these are men’s sizing and I find them true to size as I wear a size medium in them. ~Jen
Striker Tundra Mitts
NOTE: THIS IS MEN’S SIZING, BUT LADIES, THESE ARE SO GREAT FOR SNOWMOBILING! SEE ATTACHED SIZE CHART TO COMPARE FOR WOMEN.
A heavy-duty improvement on StrikerICE’s popular Climate Mitts, these are as warm as it gets! With 200 grams of 3M Thinsulate® insulation and a Hipora® waterproof insert, you’ll be able to do just about anything over or under the ice while staying warm and dry.
Features:
- 200g of 3M Thinsulate® Insulation
- Hipora® Waterproof/ Breathable
- Full Leather Palm
- Full Softshell Back of Hand and Gauntlet
- Soft Synthetic Thumb Material for Wiping a Lens
- Adjustable Gauntlet Closure
- Seamless Wraparound Finger Tips
Editor’s Note: When you need the warmest of the warm – use these Tundra Mitts! These are great as you can keep a hand warmer inside them, but it’s also nice you can slip these on and off quickly when you need to use your fingers. Also, you can wear a liner glove underneath for even more protection from the elements! I like wearing the Tundra Mitts for travel and in-between times during really cold conditions – keeping you warm when moving to your ice fishing spot, and they are what I wear for snowmobiling – perfect for it!
I have long, larger hands for a woman, so I typically wear a size large in women’s gloves and a size medium in men’s gloves – these are men’s sizing and I find them true to size as I wear a size medium in them. ~Jen

Striker Transporter
This item receives free shipping ~ free shipping on orders more than $100!
The Transporter does far more than just keep your rods safe. This is your home base, ground zero and starting point for all that happens once the holes are punched. Featuring 5-rod, 36” storage with rigid tube protection which gives way to spacious side compartments for gear galore, plus top access to an even larger compartment for tip-ups, skimmers, gloves and other gear. Wear it on your back or stow it in your sled.
Features:
- Holds up to Five Ice Rods 36” Long
- Rigid 1.75” Diameter Rod Storage Tubes
- Large Top-loading Gear Compartment
- 4 Side Zippered Pockets
- Built-in Shoulder Carry Straps
- Rugged Endura Fabric Exterior
- 39” L x 9” W x 9” H
Editor’s Note: Being from southern Iowa originally, I was never used to seeing snowmobiles, four-wheelers or even trucks on the ice like you do further up north! We WALKED… EVERYWHERE. And we CARRIED… EVERYTHING! This Transporter has been my go-to for years – I’m a gear person, and it’s the only way I’d be able to walk with all my gear! And now that I travel with a sled as well in recent years, I still like to leave the sled in a central spot and then take the Transporter with me to keep it close as I bounce between ice fishing holes. I can’t go without it – I love this thing!!!
One quick possible fix – women don’t have as broad of shoulders as men and these straps are just a bit too wide for my shoulders, so you can just add a strap of some kind to lock the two straps together, if needed. I attached a piece of coated wire to one strap, so once I put the Transporter on, I then simply twist the wire around the other strap so the wire goes across my chest, locking the straps together and then I can walk for long distances without a strap slipping off my shoulder.

It’s difficult to find a cold-weather suit for young anglers; it’s nearly impossible to find one that floats, until now!

Editor’s Note: Kids grow fast and sometimes it’s hard to invest in more expensive items you know they might grow out of quickly. If you are deciding between just a floating bib or just a floating jacket, go with the bibs. They have adjustable inseams, so they should last longer for the kid’s growth, and I always recommend even for adults too, if having to choose between one or the other, the floating bib is more important and will be worn more than the jacket. ~Jen
