TOP 10 best suits for winter fishing in the ranking of 2021 and 2021

What to consider when choosing

The winter fishing suit is designed to replace multi-layered, uncomfortable insulation. The following requirements are imposed on this equipment: good protection from cold and other external influences, moisture and wind resistance, strength, comfort and maneuverability, lightness, attractive appearance. Specialized stores offer a variety of high-quality models, and to choose the best option, you must take into account the basic criteria.

Design features

A winter fisherman's suit is a combination of trousers with straps or overalls with a warm jacket, ending with a high collar and hood. Attention is drawn to the following details:

1. Sleeves. They should cover your hand, but not interfere with your work. The required length is selected in the traditional way - to the middle of the fingers when the arm is bent at the elbow. It is desirable that the sleeve ends with a half-glove cuff. Sealing with a rubber band is not recommended. There should be no unnecessary parts on it that could cause the fishing line to get tangled.
2. Pants legs. They should be of optimal length and not interfere with leg movements, squatting and moving. They have a cuff at the bottom. It must be possible to tuck the trouser legs inside the boot (boot) or place it on top of it. An important detail is the knee pad. It should be thick and soft, taking into account the emphasis on the knees on the ice.
3. Clasps. The main fasteners can be made of buttons or zippers. Of course, zippers are more convenient and provide a tight seal, but if they unexpectedly fail, they cannot be quickly replaced, unlike buttons. Buttons, Velcro and ties are used as additional fasteners.
4. Collar and hood. The high collar allows you to protect your entire neck and chin. A hood is necessary for protection from precipitation and wind. The combination of these 2 parts increases the degree of protection for the fisherman.
5. Pockets. They are very important in a suit. A couple of pockets are needed to warm your hands (insulated, on the chest, located at a convenient angle). Pockets (side) are required for storing various devices and bait. They can be closed with Velcro. For fragile items, pockets with flaps at the top of the overalls will help. Pockets are needed in different sizes, both on the outside and on the inside.

Structural elements of the suit increase comfort and help retain heat. Each fisherman himself chooses which configuration to prefer, taking into account his habits and specific fishing conditions

Materials used

The quality and reliability of a suit for fishermen is largely determined by the materials used:

1. Polartek. This is a material based on polyester fibers with the addition of artificial silk, wool and natural cotton. It has high strength and lightness. Retains heat well and dries quickly.
2. Winblock. It is made of 2 fleece layers. The material has good wind resistance.
3. Taslan is a synthetic material based on polyamide fibers. It has water-repellent ability and increased wear resistance.
4. Membrane fabric. It has a multi-layer design made using modern technology. The material fully satisfies all the requirements for equipment.

The main requirement for the material is thermal insulation ability. In winter conditions, especially in northern regions, heat preservation is the most important parameter. Based on this, membrane fabric is gaining wide popularity.

Criterias of choice

In addition to the above features, when choosing a suit for winter fishing, the following criteria are taken into account:

1. Size. Equipment requires fitting. It should not be too tight, but a suit that is too spacious will interfere. It is important that all parts of the body are securely covered.
2. Temperature conditions. The air temperature and the temperature maintained under the equipment should be taken into account. Recommendations for use are usually given on the product label. Of course, wearing a suit designed for Siberian frosts is irrational in the southern regions. The fisherman will simply be too hot in such a suit.
3. Safety. There are several important factors to consider. Firstly, flammability. It is very dangerous when the fabric catches fire from fire sparks. There is a danger for the fisherman of falling into the water. In this case, the appearance of “floats” in clothes helps to stay on the surface.

When choosing, many people pay attention to the color. Most people prefer the camouflage option. At the same time, for safety, it is better to choose bright colors that clearly stand out against the background of snowy whiteness.

Materials for costumes

Each company uses its own materials in the manufacture of winter suits. Conventionally, materials can be divided into four categories:

• Polartek;
• taslan;
• windblock;
• membrane.

Table 1. Characteristics of materials for winter fishing suits

Material	Characteristic
Polartek	The Polartek group includes a number of synthetic materials that are distinguished by their practicality and lightness. Polartek perfectly maintains a stable temperature and warms no worse than woolen clothing. This fabric is water-permeable but dries easily once wet.
Taslan	Synthetic material created on the basis of polyamide fibers. Due to the porous coating, moisture quickly evaporates, which prevents the skin from soaking under the suit. External impregnation makes the fabric invincible for any weather. The rep coating of the fibers forms a small scar that is not tactilely felt. In order for Taslan to serve for a long time, it is necessary to properly care for it.
Windblock	Windblock translated from English means “wind blocker”. Contrary to the name, the fabric reliably protects the fisherman not only from wind, but also from snow or rain. Windblock consists of three layers. The upper is made from synthetic materials based on polyester. The inner layer is covered with fleece - it warms the body well and has a pleasant texture. Between them lies a membrane layer that repels water
Membrane	Membrane fabric varies depending on the number of layers. There are two- and three-layer options with and without lining. The purpose of the membrane is to maintain a stable body temperature and quickly remove sweat. Due to this material, the wearer of the suit remains dry. The membrane is distinguished by its resistance to mechanical damage and ease of maintenance

Buying an ice fishing suit is a difficult and time-consuming task. The most expensive option is not always the best quality. It’s also not easy to evaluate the comfortable fit of materials after just one try-on in a store. Before choosing fishing equipment, it is advisable to understand the materials and structure of the fabric. This knowledge will not allow the buyer to overpay or choose the wrong product.
