Domestic manufacturer like nobody familiar with the realities of the harsh Russian winter, which has, albeit minor, but an advantage over their foreign competitors. Costumes "Nova Tour" is a true "Alaska", designed for fishing in extreme temperatures and terrible weather conditions. Individual models of the firm would be akin to the present corruption and bias, therefore, in the absence of favorites, let's talk about all representatives at once. Company "Nova Tour" tried to produce a range of products that are most appropriate to the changeable conditions of winter, is to say, their idea was a success.

At the forefront, the company has put the question of ensuring a comfortable temperature, a solution of which was adding a significant layer of insulation capable of withstanding temperatures down to -40 – -60 degrees Celsius. To increase lifetime, the logical solution was to equip the outer layer with waterproof fabric. She became a kind of (but not only) protection from the wind, the existence of which, after putting on the suit, you begin to doubt. A nice addition is a low-budget. The starting price for a suit varies in the range from 8000 to 17,000 rubles, therefore, to steel our company in this segment only a few succeed.

How to choose a suit for fishing?

In contrast to the summer fishing season, ice fishing requires a more demanding attitude to the outfit, because the characteristics of the suit depends not only on the duration of fishing, but also the health of fisherman. When you select should pay attention to such features as:

1. Pockets. Their size and location should be not only functional. The main thing that they were allowed not only to hold all the Essentials but easy to warm the hands if necessary.
2. The hood and collar. Protect head and neck from the strong gusts of icy wind on the open reservoir cannot be underestimated. Thus, the hood needs to have a reliable fixation (to have Velcro fasteners and not just a rope pull).
The impermeability. Winter fishing, one way or another, connected to water, so this characteristic is one of the most important. This requirement fully applies to the sealed seams. Sliding down from the surface of the water the suit will not allow clothes to get wet that the frost does not Bode well. In addition, in the case of dropping under the ice (but in winter this happens) suit-float due to the peculiarities of its design will not allow to go under water, and this is a significant advantage.
3. Frost. The characteristics of the lining material depends on the temperature of the air in winter you can go ice fishing. Conventional fishing suits, as a General rule,- 15-25 °C. heat-resistant Specialized equipment will allow you to feel comfortable on the ice at -45 °C.
4. Colors. Oddly enough, but this feature can be useful. Bright and visible from afar costume (must be present reflective elements) not just attracts attention, but in the case of different kinds of incidents allows you to quickly find the fisherman and help him.
