Clothing

With the nights and early mornings now turning a little brisk, it’s the perfect time to stock up on warm and comfortable clothing for any brief spells of inactivity and the new items from Chub are just what you need. Starting with the trendy and ever-practical Quilted Bodywarmer, the garment is finished in a very tasteful and minimal olive green, perfect for down the shops as well as time spent on the bank. Constructed utilising 100 per cent polyester and available from medium all the way through to XXXL, each garment also boasts an adjustable waist ensuring a comfortable and very well fitted item of clothing no matter what size you are. The bodywarmer is filled with the ever-efficient and effective Thermatex 300 insulation, keeping you warm and comfortable whether you are watching the water or pushing the barrow around the lake.

With a whopping 10,000 Hydrostatic Head, this is about as waterproof as clothing from fishing companies gets, yet it’s both lightweight and extremely easy to pack away. Sealed zips feature throughout, which is essential in a suit of this nature, and these include half zips on the leg of the trousers to make them a doddle to get on and off without taking off your boots. It would be wrong not to mention the price here because this is a lot of money for a decent quality ‘stash suit’ of this nature but, let’s face it, they’ll probably actually sell for a little less than this as well. £119.
