The Outdoor Gear We Recommend
We may have a little bit of a hoarding problem. Good gear need not be expensive, but it has to improve the experience in some way. Whether it’s the right rod, a certain bait, or the world’s best rainsuit, we’ll give unfiltered opinions on what we use and why we use it.
Do Sun Sleeves Serve a Fishing Purpose?
An upper torso corollary to zip-off pants is the idea of sun sleeves, which haven’t seemed to have gained as much traction. I bought a pair of the Simms sleeves several years back and wear them occasionally. They’re high-quality, like just about everything Simms makes, quite comfortable and breathable and I found that they stay up, but I haven’t worn them as much as I should have.
