Modern science has made our lives more comfortable in many ways, including the way we dress. There have been some serious breakthroughs in clothing design and many are sport specific. The interest in the sport of fly fishing has grown so much that manufacturers are designing specific clothes to protect you from the elements Mother Nature throws at you. There are clothes that wick moisture, retain body heat, release it when necessary and control odors. Some shirts have a sun protection rating of 50 UPF, greater than most sunscreens, and jackets that are insulated, windproof and still retain warmth when wet.

Wearing the right apparel when fishing can make the difference between a good day and a bad day and allow you to concentrate on fishing not the cold, wind, rain or sun.
