Fishing Thermals FAQs
What thermals do I need for fishing?
The main consideration should be warmth and a comfortable loose fit. A good warm base layer is always a good starting point, but a pair of salopettes, and a coat go a long way to keeping you warm. A warm hat and socks are also valuable as most heat is lost through your head and feet.
Are any of the thermals designed to be layered in case of changing temperatures?
Some coats come with removable inners, but the most common system is a hoody, salopettes and a coat which can be layered together.
Should I have different thermals for daytime and nighttime fishing?
No, but a good warm base layer is good, and a quality sleeping bag. It's important to not wear thick heavy thermal clothing when going to bed, otherwise, when you get up you don't have layers to put on so you will feel cold. So strip down to say a base layer, joggers, jumper hoody, and then sit your salopettes, sherpa fleece etc to one side so that you have it to put on when you get so, you get the most out of it.
Will the thermals dry quickly if exposed to water?
This will depend on the garment. Some are waterproof on the outer layer, but if they get wet inside, or they are not waterproof they will take time to dry.
Are the thermals lightweight to allow plenty of movement?
Again this is dependent on the garment. A base layer will be a closer fit, but generally, other thermals will vary in weight depending on the thickness of the material and should be a loose fit. A tight fit reduces the amount of air the garment can trap and reduces its thermal quality.
Do any of the thermals have zippers or mesh for ventilation?
This will depend on the individual garment.
