Today at Jimmy’s 11/17

Layering is all about options and finding what works for you, however layering under your Waders and Wading Jacket is just as important as having a fly rod when you go fishing.Last post I was discussing “next to skin” options with the Simms Merino Wool top and bottom. Today I want to feature 2 synthetic options that fall into this “next to skin” category.

Simms has a product called the Waderwick Crew Neck and the Waderwick Bottom.  They are made with 100% Polyester, which is a fantastic synthetic material. Polyester does not absorb water it also regulates your body temperature by trapping heat. In warm weather it is extremely breathable and wicking moisture from the skin.

We also carry a product from Patagonia. Patagonia has been in the forefront for developing and producing this type of product for layering. Patagonia produces a product called Capilene. Capilene is the product that is often imitated and never quite duplicated. Pretty much all other outdoor companies that produce long underwear us Capilene as a model. Patagonia produces 3 levels of capilene and we carry the Cap 2 Zip Neck and Cap 2 bottoms in both Men’s and Woman’s styles.This is a product I have used for many years, long before I was working for Jimmy at the shop. I have used it for all types of outdoor activities from Snowboarding, hunting and now fishing.

Both products are very good and an essential pieces for any fisherman. Come into the shop and we can help you find whats right for you. The next post on this topic will be some more heavier options for layering. I am hoping to put together a video at the end of this subject that should pull everything together.
