Rating of the best suits for winter fishing for 2024

When going for winter fishing, every angler must be reliably protected from the hard frost and piercing wind. For these purposes, special winter suits for fishing were developed: no cold in them is terrible.

There are many types of such equipment. Clothes are made from special materials that protect the body from bad weather, at the same time, allowing the skin to breathe and creating a feeling of comfort.

How to choose a suit?

To avoid mistakes when choosing equipment, before buying, you need to figure out what materials and fabrics such clothes are made of:

• windblock - consists of a two-layer fleece. This suit provides protection from gusty winds and sleet. The good thing about the fabric is that it dries much faster than cotton and woolen items;
• Polartec - consists of polyester, cotton, nylon, wool and rayon. The material is lightweight, durable, retains heat and dries quickly;
• taslan or Cat's eye, cat's eye - is made of synthetic fabrics based on polyamide threads, therefore it is used for sewing jackets and raincoats. Taslan clothes are durable, water-repellent, and at the same time perfectly breathable;
• Finland - material impregnated with BO (WR), TPU (TPU) 3000/500 for protection from rain and wind;
• membrane fabric or alova - consists of several layers and protects against frost and moisture. The advantage of this material is comfort regardless of weather conditions.

When choosing clothes for winter fishing, it is worth considering the following parameters:

• it is better to buy a model with an anatomical cut - the back is longer, the front part is shorter;
• the jacket should have large pockets for large equipment, and additional pockets for small accessories;
• hood and collar - reliable protectors from wind and cold;
• strong seams;
• For winter fishing, it is advisable to choose sets of bright colors - in the event of an emergency, this will help you find the injured fisherman faster. However, the bottom of the sleeves and pants should be dark in color;
• it is desirable that the set includes knee pads and gloves with folding fingers;
• As a rule, a suit for winter fishing consists of a jacket and semi-overalls.
