Everyone who has fished at least once in their life knows how important equipment is. If in the summer you can still get by with some ordinary clothes, then at other times of the year a real fishing suit is simply irreplaceable. It is a special outfit that not only allows you to successfully fish, but also creates comfort in any weather.
General information about fishing suits
A fishing suit must meet several specific requirements. Among them, the main ones are convenience, comfort, practicality, moisture resistance, wind resistance, heat resistance. The fabric from which such clothes are sewn should be “breathable”, but at the same time not let moisture in. These products are divided into 3 main categories: summer, demi-season and winter suits. Clothes for the warm season should protect against insects and rain, as well as be durable and lightweight. A summer fishing suit must have several multifunctional pockets. Demi-season clothing is designed to be worn in spring and autumn. Such a fishing suit must be insulated in order to effectively protect a person in bad weather. Winter uniforms must provide warmth and dryness even in the most severe frosts. An important role is played by water and wind resistance. Special fishing suits are also produced - "floats", in which a person who has fallen into the water will remain afloat and will not be able to get cold.
Fishing suits "Norfin"
There are many companies that produce quality fishing clothes. One of the most popular is the Finnish company NORFIN, which produces a wide range of costumes. Winter sets made of waterproof fabric are in particular demand. A fishing suit, the price of which varies greatly (depending on the quality of the product), may consist of several parts. The highest quality models for winter fishing can withstand temperatures down to -20°C. In addition to the heavy-duty PVC-coated Nylon cover material, modern Thermo Guard insulation is used in their production. The price of such products ranges from 4000-4500 rubles. Swimsuits are slightly more expensive. Their cost can reach 7000-10000 rubles.
Lineup of Norfin fishing suits
The most popular models for demi-season and winter fishing are sets consisting of two parts: jackets and overalls. One-piece jumpsuits are less popular. The problem is that they are not that easy to use. At the same time, the swimsuit still remains the leader in sales, since it provides greater safety for winter fishing. Many models have taped seams for fullmoisture resistance. Most products have hoods with a zipper and a visor and drawstring.
