Absolutely - the days of the olive-green angler's waistcoat are well behind us. Modern fishing clothing is largely suitable for everyday wear, so you'll cut a fine figure away from the bank just as much as on it.

It's designed with time on and around the water in mind. Features and materials are built in that genuinely benefit the angler - think fly patches on the chest of fly fishing vests, holders for pliers, specialist camouflage patterns and much more besides.

Functionality, a high level of wearing comfort, and quality, durable materials.

Dress so that you feel comfortable. The layering system works well - you can remove one layer at a time as conditions warm up. Waterproof and windproof clothing is also a real advantage. In summer, clothing with UV protection is well worth considering.
