XS Breathable Wading Jacket The design brief for the XS Wading Jacket was…simply the best, irrespective of price.When we set out to design the XS Wading Jacket, we wanted the best possible garment, so we used the best possible material available. A heavy duty Fibre Twill, normally used on breathable waders and then added a few luxuries like fleece lined hand warmer pockets, hood and heavy duty patches to all the likely high wear areas. The unique front pocket design has a full width cover flap closing over the 2 ample front pockets, with a small Velcro strip. The pockets are a bellows design, but the tops are held in place with short elastic straps, so when not in use, they remain flat to the jacket front.

Breeze-bloc Fleece Headgear. The success of our Breeze-bloc Jackets and the feedback we had from customers, persuaded us to change our entire headwear range to the same breathable/waterproof micro-fleece material. It is a well-known fact that in cold conditions you lose 1/3rd of the body’s heat through the head. Well not any more. The 100% wind-proof properties of our Breeze-bloc material, prevents heat loss for all day comfort, even in the coldest conditions.

A truly “technical” fleece offering outstanding warmth and “Wind-stop” qualities. No fleece can be 100% “windproof” and “waterproof”, due to the stitched seams, but this is as close as it gets.

19412 Fleece Head-over
A warm Head-over, made from a double layer Micro fleece. Far more practical than a scarf, the Head-Over can be worn around the neck, as a muffler, pulled up over the mouth,
ears & nose, or doubled over and worn as a head/ear muff.
All seasoned travel anglers know that in hot, humid conditions, the only material which will keep you cool and comfortable is 100% cotton. Over the past 2 years we have moved away from the synthetic “technical fabrics”, firstly with our much loved “Snowbee fishing shirts” and now with our new range of Tropics fishing shirts.
11810 100% Cotton ’Tropics’ Fishing Shirts
These lightweight, 100% cotton shirts are cool, crisp & comfortable, even in the temperature extremes, the tropics can throw at you.

The top half of the shirt is lined with a fine mesh, which allows free air passage to prevent the outer material sticking to the skin. The back of the shirt has 2 side shoulder flaps, plus a full width back flap, opening onto the mesh liner.

11800 Snowbee Fishing Shirts
Our Snowbee Fishing Shirts go back to first principles – cool comfort. Having tried all the latest nylon & polyester ‘technical fabrics’ we came to the conclusion that these are fine stood on the deck of a flats boat with a cooling breeze, but in more temperate climates are like standing in a bin-bag!
Our technically advanced Poly/Cotton fibre speeds up body moisture absorption, wicking it quickly to the outside, where it can evaporate. To assist this process, the top half of the shirt is lined with a fine mesh, which allows free air passage to prevent the outer material sticking to the skin. The back of the shirt has 2 side shoulder flaps, plus a full width back flap, opening onto the mesh liner.
Soft, high-count cotton fabric for crisp, cool comfort in all conditions
Blended with high-tech polyester for ultra fast wicking & quick drying
Crease resistance for minimum iron - wash out your shirt at night and just put it back on in the morning
Close-knit Oxford weave provides a UPF (Ultra-Violet Protection Factor) of 30+…the equivalent of wearing Factor 30 sunscreen!
Two front pockets with full width cover flaps & Velcro
close tabs
Articulated elbows on long sleeve model and shoulder pleats for freedom of movement
Swiss cuff loops & buttons to hold long sleeves in place, when rolled up
Velcro ‘button’ down collar and rear reinforced
net loop.
11842 XS-Pro Fishing Trousers
Our new XS-Pro fishing trousers set new standards for others to follow.
Made from the latest CVC material. This novel blend of 50% cotton, 50% Polyester, gives the soft feel of brushed cotton, coupled with the durability and fast drying properties associated with Polyester. 2008 sees the addition of a second colour in Dark Moss Green.
The material is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. This chemical treatment forces water to bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, which enhances the water-resistant properties and keeps the fabric light, by not soaking up water. This super durable application will retain its properties even after repeated use & washings.
These hard wearing fishing trousers have two side slant pockets, with 2 additional zipped security pockets behind, plus 2 rear pockets, with concealed zips. On the left leg, is a bellows style, zipped cargo pocket. Double seat and kneepads for added wear and a front D-ring for keys etc.
The waistband has two side-elasticated sections for comfort, plus an adjustable webbing belt in our new “Aztec” pattern.
CVC material: 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester
Colour: Putty & Dark Moss Green
Sizes: S-28/31” M-32/34”
L-35/37” XL-38/40” XXL-42/44”
With the increasing awareness of the harmful effects of too much sun, we are frequently asked for a Wide Brimmed Fishing Hat…well here it is. Baseball caps are fine, but offer little protection to the ears and back of the neck. Our hat solves that problem in a stylish & practical way & is treated with an anti-UV agent for maximum protection.
When we sent the material sample to the SGS Laboratory for testing, it went off the scale! It actually came back with an ‘actual’ UPF (Ultra-Violet Protection Factor) of 2569 allowing just 0.03% of UVA and 0.04% of UVB to pass through! Unfortunately, the ‘official’ rating system only goes up to a factor 50+…the equivalent of wearing Factor 50 Sunscreen, so we had to settle for this!
Made from a tough 10oz Cotton Duck material, which breathes naturally for summer coolness. Treated with DuPont Teflon for water resistance, this hat will also keep you dry in a downpour. Complete with an adjustable chin-strap for windy conditions, which can be tucked away inside the hat with a neat Velcro strap. Has a second Velcro pocket inside the hat crown for fishing licence etc.
Hat sizes are given in INCHES which is the “head diameter”.
To measure your size, use a tape measure & measure the circumference of your head, loosely, running the tape just above the ears and approx. 1” above the eyebrows. Then refer to the chart below for your correct size.
Sizes: S (63/4”-6 7/8”). M (7”–7 1/8”) , L (7¹⁄4”-7 3⁄₈”), XL (71/2”–7 5⁄8”)
Colours: Stone (with Dk.Olive under brim) & Dk. Olive
A unique range of caps designed to cover all weathers and fishing conditions.
Stonewashed Cotton Fishing Caps
A range of quality Caps in the latest 6-panel design, with stiffened, pre-bent peaks.

It provides welcome sun protection to the neck and ears when fishing the Tropics. Adjustable elasticated draw cord at the rear of the cap, for a snug fit in windy conditions.

13256 New Fishing Caps
So often we hear that our lady fly fishers are not catered for, so here are some purpose designed fishing caps. Made in a soft, brushed cotton material in a modern 5-panel design, with a rear Velcro adjuster strap. They are available in either Pink or Burgundy with a contrasting Snowbee logo.
19435 Cap Strap
We have probably all been in the situation where our cap has blown off in windy conditions. To avoid losing your favourite cap, this ingenious lanyard simply clips onto the cap at one end and the collar of your shirt or jacket at the other. The quick release plastic clips give a firm grip on any material.
Length 12”.
19072 5-LED Caplight
This is undoubtedly the best cap light we have come across. It features 5 powerful LED lights, which can be switched independently in sequence from just one light, for night-time sea-trout fishing, to 3 lights, to the full 5-lights. The clever “curved” design, allows it to clip to the underside of a baseball cap peak, where it is unobtrusive & in the perfect position for night-time fishing. The powerful LED lights are rated for in excess of 100,000 hrs use and the 2 Lithium batteries supplied give up to 20 hrs use. Spare batteries available separately.
We all ‘make do’ with any old socks inside waders, wellies & hiking boots and often pay the penalty of blisters & sore feet. This is usually caused by chafe or excess perspiration. Our new Boot Socks are purpose designed to prevent this. A high tech mix of cotton, synthetics & Lycra ensures fast wicking of perspiration away from the skin and quick drying. The soft, double-knit sole gives extra padding & protection, whilst the upper features various high stretch panels to prevent the sock riding down during use. The leg cuff uses an open knit with high Lycra content to allow trousers to be tucked inside the tops, without stretching. Treated with our own anti-bacterial Chitosan, to prevent unpleasant odours & keep feet fresh & healthy
