The under-ice outing puts the clothing and small equipment under constant pressure: You stand still, you move between the holes, and you often work on your knees. The section collects winter suits, overalls, jackets, hats, knee pads, seating pads and other accessories. Each group decides a separate part of comfort, so the choice should follow your way of fishing. That way you don't pile up random clothes that interfere with each other's movement.

Arrange the equipment in layers and points of contact. The jacket keeps the top, overalls and suit cover a larger area, and the knee pads and pad are aimed at moments near the ice. When choosing a hat Daiwa check how it stands along with the rest of the clothes. The particular cut should fit comfortably without limiting the look or natural movement of the head.

Jacket Daiwa ULTRA CARP JACKET has a thick warm lining 200g/m² and longer than the standard cut. This combination is aimed at preserving body heat when waiting in a tent or on a short winter outing. The smooth lining makes it easy to dress quickly, and the S, M, L, XL and XXL variants enable the size to be tailored to the angler and lower layers.

When trying, don't just look at the letter on the label. Put on the clothes you'll actually wear underneath, and see if the longer cut stays comfortable when sitting, bending over, and working with the tackle. The too narrow set presses the lower layers, and the unnecessarily wide one makes it difficult to move. Raise your arms and squat to feel if the garment is pulling into your shoulders or waist.

Consider the selection and the length of stay. For active moving, free movement and easy access to accessories are a priority. With longer waits, body the coating and insulation in areas that rest on a cold surface are important. Knee pads and pad do not replace the garment, but complement the protection where the working posture requires it.

After fishing, remove everything from the bag and let the damp parts ventilate according to the directions for the specific garment. Clean the knee pads and pad separately from the jacket so you don't carry ice and dirt on the lining. Before the next departure, review all layers as a set; The forgotten hat or the wrong size is felt much more strongly on the ice.

In a ice fishing outing, the outfit is only one part of the arrangement, so proceed to Accessories for ice fishing Fishing for the rest of the accessories. Compare the general section Clothing/Equipment with the more specific route to Boots and overalls for sub-icingwhen you want to narrow down the choices according to the conditions at the hole.
