Thursday Focus - Keeping Cool On The Bank

This entry was posted on 4th July, 2018

Now that summer seems to have finally got the memo about ensuring that long, hot days are always in stock, we thought it would be a good idea to take you through just a few of the options we have to help you keep your cool and off the bank.

Clothing

We’ve got a range of clothing that’s not just the perfect choice for all your summer fishing; it’s also great for the barbecues and other socials that are a feature of the warmer days and longer nights.

From your head to your feet, we’ve got you covered when it comes to practical summer fishing fashion.

Fortis Bays Matte Black Frame



Polarised sunglasses. A must for every angler, and especially needed in summer, when high, bright sunlight can make it impossible to see past the surface glare. Having vision that goes below the surface is essential if you want to plan the perfect approach, and the brown tint, polarised lenses on these Fortis sunglasses ensure you achieve that, wherever you’re fishing, and whatever species you’re targeting, while also helping to reduce the eye strain that bright light causes.

With zero hinge technology, and UV400 protection, these glasses are a durable, practical choice that anglers come back to again and again. They’re impact resistant, too – a sensible choice for any active lifestyle.

If you’re heading out to the water’s edge this summer, grab a pair and a spare of Fortis Bays, and get your rods out in style, with clear sight of the fish that are in front of you.

What Do People Think?

Considered an excellent pair of polarised sunglasses, these are the kind of thing you’ll want to ensure you always have around.

Korda Kool Quick Dry T-Shirt



Available in a long or short sleeve option, giving you the option to choose the style that suits you, these Korda t-shirts come in classic olive green, giving you a simple yet stylish look that works equally well during an active session at the bank, or while you’re making the rounds of the barbecue.

If you get a soaking from a feisty fish, or are the victim of a short, sharp shower, you’ll be pleased to know that both of these t-shirts are designed to dry quickly, and offer the kind of breathability you need in the height of summer. Incredibly comfortable, these t-shirts make a good choice for all your angling, as well as any social event; why not buy a short-sleeved shirt for the bank, and a long sleeve for those slightly smarter occasions?

What Do People Think?

Simple style, that looks good anywhere – just what you want when the sun’s bright, the days are long, and you feel like topping up your Vitamin D with some outside activity.

Trakker Coolmax Socks



The most technologically advanced socks you’ll ever get to feel on your feet, these stylish blue and grey socks are designed and engineered to give you breathable comfort from spring to autumn, with cordura reinforcement at the foot and heel ensuring they’ll last at least

that long – although, if you prefer not to take chances, you might want to invest in a couple of pairs – it never hurts to keep a spare, after all!!

A good buy for any angler, these socks feature Airtex Cool-Vent technology ensures a steady exchange of air through the fabric of the sock, giving you no-sweat fishing from dawn to dusk.

Design features such as in-turned seams ensure the banishment of blisters, and a chafe-free wear, no matter how long you’re on your feet, while elasticated grip sections give comfortable support, keeping your socks from rolling down or bunching up.

A good buy, every time – that’s the assessment from one of our customers, and we’re pretty sure you’ll agree once you’ve tried a pair
