ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
FXR’s pedigree roots in founder Milt Reimer’s motocross background. His racing experience and insight into specifically what high performance outdoor competitors need, in terms of safety, comfort and fit spawned a line of premium snow clothes. From there, the company’s growth expanded into well-conceived rainwear for fishermen. FXR targets what the company calls a high-octane lifestyle, and tournament bass fishing can certainly fit that model. To that end, FXR implements the insights and inputs from folks who live that lifestyle. Nice touches: Tether retention D-ring with line-cutter and a microfiber cloth for sunglasses inside the jacket’s chest pocket.
