Angler’s insight:
The company renowned for developing functional, dependable foul-weather gear for the demanding environment of offshore racing brings that same technology to the fishing industry, where remaining warm and dry is more than a creature comfort thing — it’s a requirement for consistent performance. Shivering anglers are less accurate casters, while awkward, bulky outerwear impedes critical movements. Looks like Gill has done a solid job of addressing these points.
