Foul Weather Gear for Swording - Page 2

The BEAST · 11-05-2007, 12:31 AM

I have to agree with Boboe on the sweating part. I can wear the Grunden bib britches all day in the winter Sailfish season because they vent from the legs and the top. I can't wear the jacket more than 5 minutes when working in the pit. I usually opt for a lighter wweight breathable at that point and wear the Grunden tops only when running or in extremely heavy rain or cold.

They are tough though!

. Don't like the top at all, but love the paints.

Glad you like them! They are sold by Sunshine Sportswear. You can get 1 single set with a multi colored design printed on the front chest or Bib and a large print on the Jacket back. You provide the design and it costs $235 a set. I recommend the 'Clipper' series for So Fla. A plain set is usually around $135 (top and bottoms).

Nightfighter I have had the AFTCO gear about 6 months they recently came out with it. So far it has been great!Everything sprays off with a hose. I had the same problem with Gore-tex leaking. I dont think this will!It isnt any more expensive than the other high tek suits out there, but it was designed for fishing by fishermen.

Here is the link to the website where you can design you own tee's or Grunden's:

https://www.expertlogo.com/designer/...tpfznuwdtp872p

You can use the stock artwork that is on the site, or upload your own pictures or artwork. You can even save your design for purchase later. I got to get some more on order for some fishing buddies!!
