Choose your normal clothing size, or size up one size if you plan to layer heavily underneath. The stretchy stirrup cuffs adjust to fit over wader boots securely. Most anglers prefer the same size they wear in regular trousers for comfort and freedom of movement.
The 380 g sherpa fleece provides excellent insulation down to around 0°C when worn alone, or well below freezing when layered under a waterproof shell. Most anglers use it autumn through spring for bankside sessions, wading, and boat fishing. It's not a winter survival layer—it's active insulation for moderate-to-cold water conditions.
Yes, it's genuinely practical. You can unzip from the top for ventilation during active wading, or from the bottom for bathroom breaks without fully undressing—a real comfort advantage during long sessions. The zipper is robust and designed for heavy use in wet conditions.
The stretchy cuffs grip firmly around wader boots without cutting off circulation. They're tested by guides and serious wading anglers in moving water. That said, they work best when sized correctly—neither too loose nor too tight. Review our size guide to ensure the best fit.
Yes. Use cool water (30°C maximum), gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softener. Air dry only—never use a tumble dryer, as high heat damages the fleece structure and reduces lifespan. A gentle soak in plain water after saltwater use helps preserve the fleece and zippers.
Sherpa fleece is lighter, more flexible, and dries faster than neoprene, making it ideal for active fishing. Neoprene retains more water and takes hours to dry, whereas fleece sheds water and air-dries in 2–3 hours. Fleece also works better as a layering piece under waders. Choose fleece if you move frequently; neoprene for passive sessions where maximum water protection matters.
Yes. The 100% polyester construction resists saltwater corrosion better than wool or cotton blends. However, rinse in fresh water after each saltwater session to preserve the zippers and elastic. A quick dunk in a bucket of cool water removes salt and extends lifespan significantly.

The Kinetic Heavy Warm Bib L/S combines thermal comfort with practical design, delivering reliable warmth during extended fishing sessions in cold conditions. Its heavy sherpa fleece construction and thoughtful details make it an essential layer for serious anglers who refuse to let temperature limit their time on the water.
The 380 g sherpa fleece provides superior heat retention without the bulk. Unlike thin synthetic layers, this weight of fleece maintains an insulating air layer next to your body, keeping core temperature stable during long, stationary fishing sessions. The fleece structure remains flexible even in subzero conditions, allowing full casting range and natural movement around the water.
A two-way front zipper opens from top and bottom for quick access without removing the entire bib. The zipped chest pocket securely holds small tackle, lures, or tools without risk of loss. Stretchy stirrup cuffs fit perfectly over wader boots or standalone—they grip without cutting circulation and stay in position through active wading or boat work. Flatlock seams reduce chafing during extended wear, particularly when layered under waders or rain gear.
Perfect for autumn wading in rivers, winter estuary flats, boat fishing in exposed conditions, or bankside sessions when dawn temperatures drop below 10°C. Works equally well with chest waders, hip waders, or conventional fishing clothes. The fitted waist and articulated legs maintain mobility for all casting styles.
