Why do you need a Foul Weather Gear?

• If you're a fisherman, a boater, a racer, or a
  true-blue boat enthusiast, you need a sensible
  lineup of foul weather water-resistant and
  waterproof gear including waterproof fishing
  suits. But, you cant just buy any foul weather
  gear!
• It is necessary to know the difference between
  the various foul weather waterproof fishing
  gloves, coats, packable, boots, and assortments
  of gear that can mean a world of a difference
  when youre out on the high seas.

How to Pick the right Foul Weather Gear?

• There are indeed several options to choose from
  when it comes to
• picking foul weather gear. But know that picking
  the right product for
• yourself requires you to know, among other
  things, how effectively they
• may or may not perform on the sea.
• In addition to protection and safety, there are
  several other
• considerations to bear in mind, lets take a look
  at each of them individually!

Weight of gear

• Primarily classified into lightweight and
  heavyweight. Lightweight gear is designed for use
  regularly in gentle to medium environments where
  mild rain spray and winds are likely.
• Seals.
• Heavyweight gear is heavily weighed and rugged.
  It delivers the best protection by keeping water
  out of every gap from harsh weather conditions
  with the hood, storm flaps, collars, and

Non-slip/non-marking shoes

• Do remember that Non-marking shoes are important
  for not leaving scuff marks on boats as theyre
  designed to not rub off on surfaces when a user
  scuffs their boots.
• Non-slip shoes offer the best traction level,
  help prevent occupational injuries, and assist in
  keeping users secure on slippery decks. These are
  the ones to go for when youre going to be
  walking on slippery boats and jetty rocks

6
High visibility gear

• High visibility gear is critical for maintaining
  protection on the high seas.
• High-visibility gear such as coveralls and coats,
  especially made of fluorescent colored materials
  and reflective strips, are required by law in
  many industries and occupations.
• This is an especially important safety
  consideration for fishermen and boaters who want
  to be seen on the water from afar.

Height of boots
v
Ankle boots may prove to be a better pick for
recreational fishing and boat cleaning exercises,
commercial fishermen would be better off with
high boots. As theyre going to be working in
conditions where water runs over the tops of
their boots, a quality pair of high waterproof
ones will help ensure their boots dont get
filled with water now and then.
8
Rip-proof, durable gear
Good quality rip-proof gear is durable, almost
impossible to rip or tear, and built to
withstand everything and anything you put it
through. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a common
material used in the manufacture of rip proof
foul weather gear as it is long-lasting,
abrasion-resistant, and especially ideal for
commercial fishermen who work with all sorts of
hooks, lines, sinkers, rods, floats, baits,
reels, lures, and other equipment that might
cause their gear to tear.

Waist pants vs bibs vs waders

• Waders are usually waterproof pants with some
  form of connected footwear. When fishing, this
  shields the user from the water and is often
  favored by boat anglers who don't fancy getting
  their trousers wet when hauling their catch.
• Bibs are waders in pant-style, typically PVC and
  Nylon combined with other fabrics to provide
  superior longevity and waterproofing.

Technical features - The Cuffs
When your hands are submerged in water, neoprene
cuffs will help to protect the wrists and keep
them dry. Elasticated cuffs are included on some
foul weather coats and it would be a good idea to
inspect them carefully. If theyre overly tight,
you'll probably cut the seam open just to make it
less constricting. Open cuffed foul weather
coats are usually made of molded rubber, with the
base of the cuff usually providing more surface
space for the forearm.

Packables or Dry Bags 
Long-lasting, lightweight, waterproof and
portable, dry bags ensure your belongings stay
dry. While most dry bags are ideal for a variety
of outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking,
boating, and so on, several come with a
waterproof phone casing as a cool bonus.
