Winter fishing on ice has a special specifics: it includes active actions that make you sweat, and passive ones that can freeze a warmed up body. The right equipment allows the fisherman to enjoy his favorite pastime, protects against weather surprises, retains internal body heat, and does not restrict movement.

• overalls;

• removable pads for trousers and overalls;
• vests.

Features of the fabrics of the suit

Lightness, moisture protection, heat transfer in winter fishing equipment are created by fabrics. The special structure of the material allows the body to “breathe”. Both natural and synthetic samples are used. Artificial canvas meets all safety requirements. It is lighter, the suit weighs about 3 kg. The material does not blow even a squally wind, does not absorb dirt and odor, which is important in fishing.

Important! The market offers suits made of polyurethane-impregnated fabrics. It is moisture resistant, not blown out, cheap, but does not allow air to pass through. The body in such a suit sweats and freezes quickly.

For winter fishing, suits, overalls and other clothing that contain the best fabrics that include a membrane layer, for example, Alova, an inexpensive Chinese analogue of world samples, are suitable. The membrane protects from wind, moisture and cold, not letting in. At the same time, the fabric prevents the “greenhouse effect” by releasing fumes to the outside. The functionality of winter clothing is based on layering. The fabric has the same principle:

• outer side – protective polyester jersey;
• inner – a membrane film that regulates the evacuation of vapors.

In a uniform made of such fabric, a person does not overheat and does not freeze. Analogs of fabric: Taslan, different texture (“ribbed”), Cat’s eye (CATS EYE) with a relief pattern.
For lining in winter sets, materials such as Oxford, Fleece, Taffeta or other “breathable” synthetic fabrics are used. In models for extreme conditions, temperatures – 30 ° C and above, insulation is used Thinsulate, Windblock or Termoteks, Siberia, Russian design. Additionally added foil lining.

The vapor permeability of the fabric is measured in g / m
² per day. The higher the indicator, the faster the internal moisture leaves.

The nuances of the package

The configuration and functionality of the suit parts enhance the exploitation of the winter uniform. Every part of the body is protected as much as possible. For this purpose, the equipment is supplied with:

• fastening fastening hood;
• high stand-up collar;
• long cuffs on the sleeves to protect the hands;
• reinforced knee pads and a seat with outer dense pads from abrasion;
• hydrophobic (not soaking) insulation.

The seams are additionally glued or thermally welded. Elastic inserts duplicate the anatomical features of the figure. Equipment fittings are made of lightweight materials. The carabiners on the straps are large, easy to grip with a gloved hand. Special 2-lock zippers are used that do not allow water to pass through. The
complete set of winter fishing suits implies a large number of pockets [/ caption] An essential detail in a fishing suit is the pocket compartments:

• two deep inner ones on the outside of the side of the jacket to warm up frozen fingers;
• overhead compartments for bait, tackle and other little things on the sleeves, trousers and at the bottom of the jacket;
• from the inside in the upper part of the suit – compartments for documents and live bait, so that the bloodworms do not freeze.

Slip-on pockets for gear to snag on. The shoulders of the jacket are covered with a kind of “shoulder straps” made of non-slip material so that the strap of the fishing box does not slip.

Bright colors and reflective elements emphasize the individuality of the suit. Thanks to these details, the fisherman is easier to spot in an emergency.

Winter fishing apparel makers are favorites of the 2021 season

Fishing suits are divided into 3 categories: frost-resistant, membrane and floats. The market is regularly replenished with models of new manufacturers, but in each section there are firms that occupy leading positions. Production luminaries:

• Japan: Ryobi and Alaskan (membrane models), Daiwa (frost-resistant);
• China: Imax (frost-resistant);
• Finland: Seafox, Rapala (float suits);
• Russia: Nova Tour, KhSN (Cheboksary), Holster (Izhevsk);
• Latvia: Norfin (membrane).

Relatively recently, the brands of Korea – Raftlaer and Sweden – Fladen appeared in the segment of floating suits, but they have already established themselves and are in demand.

Ice Fishing Float Suit

The top positions in the rating of suits for ice fishing are occupied by a floating model. The main task of which is to keep the fisherman afloat, not to get wet, to keep warm. Due to the special cut with a displaced center of gravity, the person quickly turns over on his back, does not have time to choke. Buoyancy is created by:

• numerous cavities (specific functions of air bubbles);
• foam lining;
• waterproof fabrics, cuffs, seams, accessories.

Winter floating suit can withstand temperatures up to – 60 ° C (depending on the manufacturer). Suitable for extreme fishermen, lovers of fishing on thin ice during the crucial autumn-spring periods. The main task of the floating suit is safety, other parameters remain in the background. Minuses:

1. The low level of vapor permeability due to the foam lining and the specificity of the fabric creates a greenhouse effect.
2. The density of the interlayer impedes the dynamism of movements.

The safety level of the float suit on the water covers the inconvenience of the functionality. There is no shortage of models in the market. There is a variety of manufacturers, sizes, modifications, prices.

Interesting to know. The float suit does not contain any hard foam, so it should not be considered a floatation device. The time spent in the water is provided for in the instruction manual and depends on the model.
