Fishing starts with the right gear — it is what makes time at the water truly comfortable and safe. Weather by the water is changeable: even on a warm day the wind can pick up or it can rain, and early mornings can be chilly.
Moreover, well-thought-out gear is a great gift idea that will please any avid angler. After all, it’s not just an item but an investment in the enjoyment of a favourite pastime.
Tick-protection suit
A tick-protection suit makes fishing comfortable and safe. It reliably protects against bites from bloodsucking insects and ticks.
The tick-protection suit «Экспедиция Люкс» is approved by specialists at the Institute of Disinfectology of FBUN «ФНЦГ им. Ф.Ф. Эрисмана» Rospotrebnadzor and provides 100% protection against bites from ticks and bloodsucking insects when used correctly (properly worn and treated with acaricidal agents).
With such protection you can fully concentrate on fishing — not be distracted by annoying insects or worry about the risk of a tick bite.
Repellents and insecto-acaricide products
Conditions by the water are ideal for mosquitoes, gnats, horseflies and other bloodsucking insects: high humidity, reeds and tall grass, and light wind. Because of this, insects gather in large numbers and behave particularly persistently, which causes constant distraction. On a fishing trip it’s important to notice the slightest movement of the float or a bite — any small detail can determine whether you catch anything.
Products «Рефтамид Максимум» (30% ДЭТА) and «Рефтамид Экстрим» (40% ДЭТА) protect exposed skin for more than 4 hours. After treating clothing, the effect lasts up to 30 days against mosquitoes, midges, mosquitos, horseflies and fleas. Protection against ticks lasts for 5 days when fabric is treated. The second option is suitable for areas with a higher number of insects (outdoor recreation by the water, etc.).
The insecto-acaricide «Рефтамид Экстра Антиклещ» protects against ticks for up to 15 days. This product actually kills ticks. It is most effective when applied to the tick-protection suit approved by specialists at the Institute of Disinfectology of FBUN «ФНЦГ им. Ф.Ф. Эрисмана» Rospotrebnadzor (the «Экспедиция Люкс» suit).
Telnyashka
In a telnyashka it's comfortable both at the start of the day, when it's still cool, and later, when the sun warms the air. A telnyashka made of interlock (cotton double-knit) withstands machine washing and daily wear, recovers after stretching, wicks moisture away from the body during intense physical activity, and helps maintain a comfortable body temperature.
Sunglasses
On a fishing trip, sunglasses are not just an accessory but an important piece of equipment. They protect the eyes from ultraviolet rays and harsh glare reflected off the water. With sunglasses you can better see underwater details (the bottom relief, snags and fish), and at the same time protect your eyes from wind and dust. As a result, your eyes tire less, you don't have to squint in bright light, and fishing remains comfortable even on the sunniest day.

Vests
Even in summer, sunny days often give way to overcast ones, and on a fishing trip the early morning air can be especially fresh — sometimes noticeably cool. In such conditions a vest becomes an excellent insulating layer: it retains heat without restricting movement and allows you to spend the whole day at the water comfortably, regardless of the weather's whims.
Reflective windbreaker jacket
If the day on a fishing trip turns out windy and rainy, the gray-black windbreaker «Travers» will protect you from the elements. The polyester fabric with a TPU membrane and DWR finish shields against rain and wind. The membrane makes the material water-resistant while maintaining breathability. The reflective print becomes visible in beams of light at night while remaining almost unnoticeable during the day.
Water-resistant boots
On a fishing trip, water-resistant boots are an absolute necessity: they reliably protect your feet from water when you need to wade into a river or move along a wet, marshy shore. Even if wading fishing isn't planned, the shoreline is often damp — dew, splashes, and puddles after rain can easily soak ordinary shoes, which is not only uncomfortable but can also lead to hypothermia.
A durable sole and deep tread prevent slipping on muddy or rocky bottoms and protect the foot from injuries caused by sharp stones or snags. As a result, such footwear makes fishing more comfortable and safer, allowing you to focus on what matters — catching fish.

Forester Boots
Water-resistant boots are suitable for shore fishing. They protect your feet from dampness: preventing them from getting wet from dew, splashes, or accidental steps into puddles, and thus help avoid discomfort and hypothermia.
The «Forester» boots feature a waterproof membrane, an upper made of water-repellent suede and abrasion-resistant nylon, and a walking layer of sole made of nitrile rubber with a multidirectional tread for traction. Secure lacing keeps the boot firmly on the foot, preventing it from slipping on uneven terrain, and reinforced areas at the toe and heel additionally protect the feet from impacts with snags or stones. As a result, these boots make time on the shore comfortable and safe — allowing you to fully focus on fishing.
May your gear bring you joy, the weather hold up, and the bite be so good you'll want to tell the story over and over again!
