Winter fishing clothing

Post by Sebb » Mon May 17, 2021 11:32 pm

I am not very good with cold weather. I can fish and years ago, soccer, for hours in 35° day, but I struggle to battle 5-10° morning/evening.

I often wear thermals, fleece, puff/ski jacket, neck fleece, beanie, and still feel cold. Makes it hard to go out fishing early morning or evening.

What's your winter fishing clothing?

Didn't think of electric jacket. Thanks, I'll look for it.

Is that the one we need to crack the thing inside?
I remember someone told me this when camping, but never bought/used it.

The thing is, it's cold in the morning, then as the sun gets up it can warm up a fair bit. What I do is wear a tight pair of fleecy trackie dacks, then another pair of looser lined ones over the top. Then I layer up a singlet, short sleeve T, long sleeve T, shirt, windcheater, jacket, and a woolen beanie. I strip off during the day as it warms up, but I still feel cold if there is a bit of wind.
Cheers
