Fishing Pants

It’s not a secret that angling is a messy business. While the main purpose of fishing pants is to keep you dry and comfortable, they should also effectively deal with dirt, fish scale, slime, and blood.

Women's and Men's Fishing Pants

Most waterproof fishing pants have a nylon shell that provides a wide range of movements thanks to the elastic and lightweight nature of the fabric. Its durability is appreciated by many anglers fishing in rugged terrains with branches, bushes, and snags on which their clothing may get caught. Nylon also ensures protection against UV rays. Most pants from trusted fishing apparel brands have a UPF rating not lower than 50. UPF 50 means only 2% of ultraviolet radiation penetrates the fabric.

Excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties of nylon make it ideal for fishing. The fabric absorbs sweat and conducts it to the surface, where it evaporates. 

Some trousers are made with soft-shell polyester mixed with breathable fleece. Such blends do a great job at repelling wind and water and keeping you dry and warm. Double-stitch seams contribute to longer service life.

If you’re a beginner angler looking for fly fishing pants, you’d better take a closer look at waders since fly fishing often implies standing in the water, sometimes waist-deep. Neoprene waders are durable and warm, while waders made with breathable materials are lightweight and comfortable for fishing on a hot summer day.

Ice Fishing Pants

A good pair of ice fishing bibs must feature the impermeable shell shielding from ice, cold water, and snow and a sufficient amount of insulation to keep you warm and dry in challenging conditions. Additionally, hardwater bibs may feature an integrated flotation system for emergencies, fleece-lined pockets, cell phone pockets, multiple attachment points, and articulated knees.
