Ottawa Weather Protection That Performs

The weather in Ottawa can change on a dime. Be prepared with our expertly selected range of protective gear, designed to keep you dry, warm, or cool, allowing you to focus on the catch, not the climate.

Defy the Downpour

Sudden summer showers or persistent drizzle won't cut your day short. Our waterproof and breathable jackets and pants offer superior protection without compromising mobility. Seams are sealed, zippers are water-resistant, and materials allow vapor to escape, preventing that clammy feeling.

Washing & Drying

Technical fishing apparel requires specific care to preserve its waterproof, breathable, and UV-protective properties. Always check garment labels, but generally, use mild detergents and air dry or tumble dry on low settings. Avoid fabric softeners which can clog membranes.

  • Use specialized technical washes
  • Avoid harsh detergents and bleach
  • Air dry whenever possible

Waterproofing & Storage

Over time, DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishes can wear off. We offer and recommend DWR treatment products to restore your apparel's water-shedding capabilities. Store your gear clean and dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold and mildew growth, ensuring it's ready for your next outing.

  • Reapply DWR treatments as needed
  • Store apparel in dry, airy conditions
  • Consider our gear repair services for damage
