Many novice anglers think about buying a fishing suit only when the sunny weather, which provides the most comfortable conditions for fishing, is suddenly replaced by strong wind and downpour. Experienced anglers, on the other hand, say with confidence that a prerequisite for successful fishing is not only good tackle and catchy lures, but also a properly selected fishing suit.
A fishing suit is able to protect the fisherman from the scorching sun, strong winds, heavy rain and even annoying insects. Modern manufacturers of fishing goods present to the attention of lovers of this exciting activity many models of "fishing uniforms" made of various materials, equipped with all kinds of devices, supplemented with useful accessories. Even a real fishing veteran can get lost in such a variety, not to mention those fishermen who are just beginning to learn
Fishing Suit Material
The material from which the fishing suit is made must be both lightweight and durable. Polyethylene, although it is able to protect the fisherman from rain and wind, is unlikely to be able to serve it for a long time. Vinyl is much stronger than polyethylene, but it does not allow air to pass through well. Nylon is considered ideal. The suit made of this material will reliably protect the fisherman from bad weather and will not lose its original properties even after many years of use.
However, when choosing a fishing suit, it should be borne in mind that even the most reliable, wear-resistant and durable fabric will not be able to protect against bad weather if the seams of the product are made of poor quality. Thermal seams are considered a good option, but their use when sewing fishing clothes leads to a deterioration in the breathability of the material. The seams, which are the usual gluing of the edges of the material, are not particularly reliable. Preference should be given to a suit, the seams of which are stitched and additionally glued.
Important characteristics
One of the most important characteristics of a fishing suit is its water resistance. You can verify the availability of this quality immediately before purchasing. Spray the suit with water. If it gets absorbed into the fabric, stop purchasing such clothing. If the liquid is collected on the material in small droplets, the water resistance of the test fishing suit is excellent.
An equally important criterion for choosing a fishing suit is wind protection, which is provided by a fabric with a special membrane impregnation. In addition, the fishing "outfit" should be comfortable. The duration of fishing and its success largely depend on how comfortable the fisherman will feel in a particular suit. Clothing should not hinder movement, the hood should not interfere with turning your head. It is better to choose a suit with an adjustable waist, tightening cuffs and the presence of special inserts on the elbows and knees.
Useful add-ons
A good fishing suit is always complemented by many outside and inside pockets of various sizes and capacities. They will allow you to keep the most useful and necessary accessories for fishing always at hand. All pockets present in the design of a fishing suit must have a velcro or zipper fastener.
