In order for fishing to be truly enjoyable, not marred by discomfort from tight, uncomfortable clothing, cold, wind and other adverse weather conditions, it is necessary to select the appropriate items. During fishing, you have to sit still, move quickly, pulling out the fish, so fishing clothes should be warm, waterproof and not restrict movement. Modern manufacturers produce clothing for fishermen using the latest technologies and materials.
Important factors for selection
Any clothing for fishing enthusiasts is purchased in accordance with the main criteria: thermal activity and membrane. Thermal underwear has thermal activity. This type of clothing perfectly retains body heat and effectively removes sweat.At the same time, outerwear should also release evaporation from the inside, otherwise condensation appears similar to the effect of a sauna. Therefore, a person, even without actively moving, begins to sweat heavily.
In addition, manufacturers produce fishing gear with the following properties:
- good elasticity;
- high density;
- increased strength;
- loose fit;
- bactericidal activity.
It is very important that the fisherman's footwear is also waterproof, warm, and comfortable. Experienced fishermen have separate suits or overalls in their wardrobe that allow the skin to "breathe".
The choice of winter accessories should be treated with special attention. Hats, socks, mittens should properly regulate the temperature of the limbs and head. Even in pouring rain, snowfall, wind, the fisherman should be comfortable.
Description of kits
Women's fishing clothes are also produced, taking into account the features of the female figure, but are no different in quality from men's. Fishing clothes and shoes are produced for both summer and winter fishing.
Summer sets
Summer fishing suits usually include several elements. The basic set includes trousers, a jacket, and a vest. A T-shirt or shirt with small sleeves that do not restrict movement is worn under the jacket. If the sun is shining brightly outside, long sleeves are needed. Each item of clothing has its own characteristics:
- trousers - it is possible to use a classic model of trousers or semi-overalls. The product should be spacious, for greater convenience, suspenders are used;
- semi-overalls - have the greatest advantages: they provide better protection from the wind, have straps and chest pockets;
- jacket - serves to protect from precipitation, wind, insects. Usually comes with a hood;
- vest - does not have any special protective functions, but has many pockets for storing fishing equipment. A good option is a mesh back.

- pockets are made roomy and located in easily accessible places;
- the design of the products is spacious so as not to restrict movement;
- good workmanship, ensuring strength and durability. The seams are treated with strong adhesive materials;

- The items are made from fabrics that are easy to wash and are resistant to a large number of washes without losing their appearance and quality.
The colors of the fabrics are varied: camouflage with soft shades in tone with the vegetation. A headdress is required in the set, protecting from rain and scorching sun rays. It should be possible to attach a flashlight or mosquito nets to the headdress!
Boots are very important when fishing, as they are exposed to water at any time of the year.
Winter sets
Modern winter fishing equipment has reliable protection from severe frosts and cold winds. Special winter sets are made of lightweight fabrics that do not restrict movement and provide excellent protection from severe cold.
A popular fabric for the production of high-quality fishing equipment is membrane fabric. The products include a filler made of composite materials. In areas with very low temperatures, down jackets filled with natural down are used. Certain requirements are imposed on the details included in the winter fishing clothing set:
- jacket - special attention is paid to the length of the sleeves, which should cover the arms to the middle of the fingers. A large number of pockets on the jacket, including internal ones, is a must;
- trousers - insulated trousers should have very well-glued seams, a minimum number of parts, and water-resistant knee pads;
- hood - this detail is considered a mandatory attribute of a winter jacket. It reliably protects from snow and wind. The best option is a hood with a large collar that covers the neck.
A winter suit should have as few external elements as possible for the safety of the fisherman. Fasteners should be convenient, preferably when velcro is used instead of zippers and buttons. The quality of the fittings should be very durable, they are the first to break when worn.
In stores that sell fishing accessories and gear, children's fishing clothes are sold, which differ from adult clothes only in smaller sizes. Many suits have materials as filler that easily float on the water and, accordingly, a person in such equipment will not drown. Such sets are called floats. If you are planning a trip to the sea, then such suits are indispensable for sea fishing.
Shoes made from durable, warm, moisture-resistant materials deserve special attention!
