When buying a demi-season fishing suit, you should pay attention to some details that will help you make the right choice.

The main requirements for a fishing suit are comfort and heat retention. This directly depends on the type of fabric from which the equipment is made. Most brands sew tops in taslan, oxford or taffeta. These are polyester materials, whose water-repellent properties are enhanced by special impregnations or polyurethane spraying. This fabric is perfect for wet weather and will not let you get wet in the rain.

However, synthetic materials still have some disadvantages. One of them is low breathability. Air does not circulate well in such clothes, therefore, static electricity can accumulate. With a sharp change in weather conditions, which happens quite often in spring, you can sweat a lot. Another disadvantage of polyester is the rustling produced when moving, which can be annoying.

For fishing in Russian latitudes, it is recommended to pay attention to suits made of membrane fabric. She has shown herself quite well in our realities and has been popular among experienced anglers for several years. The main advantages of the fabric are complete waterproofness and high density, which does not let the wind through, while the leather under such equipment breathes. Such high characteristics of the material are due to its two layers and a special fabric mesh used for strengthening. Neither water nor wind can get inside.

For demi-season suits, an important component is insulation. A few years ago, all products were insulated with heavy materials: batting or sheepskin. Now manufacturers have a huge selection of high-quality synthetics, which heats without causing discomfort. The outfit, designed for the spring-autumn period, is complemented by a special fleece lining. The main advantages of the material are warmth, softness and lightness.

For fishing in late autumn and early spring suits with holofan, holofiber or firemax are perfect. They have even better thermal conductivity and water resistance. However, they are much more expensive than fleece products. Worthy of attention is also the insulation made of thinsulate, even a thin layer of which is enough to provide warmth and comfort.

Manufacturers offer two types of suits: jacket and trousers, jacket and semi-overalls. In this case, the choice depends on personal preference and convenience. But if you plan to spend a long time fishing, it is better to give preference to the second option. A vest, hat, bandolier and gloves can be purchased as additional accessories for a separate cost.
