Daiwa Windstopper Bodywarmer

Description

The Daiwa Windstopper Bodywarmer is an angling garment made by Halkon Hunt in the UK, designed to protect the core while keeping the arms free to work. It uses a fleece-backed WINDSTOPPER Soft Shell fabric from GORE-TEX LABS, which delivers wind protection and heat retention where it is needed while allowing a full range of arm movement. It works as an outer layer on chilly days or as a low-bulk insulating layer under a full waterproof jacket. The design concentrates warmth around the trunk so the arms stay free for casting and handling gear. - WINDSTOPPER Technology: fully windproof across the body, blocking the chilling effect of wind when seated in a box or standing exposed on the bank, where core warmth matters for comfort and focus. - Thermal Mapping and Heat Retention: deep pile, warmer fabric is placed through the back and shoulders for high heat retention, while lighter fleece-backed material elsewhere adds comfort and prevents bulk. - Unrestricted Movement: the sleeveless design gives maximum freedom of movement in the arms and shoulders for casting, feeding, striking, and using a pole or net without the restriction of sleeves. - Drizzle Resistance: the surface fabric is drizzle resistant (DWR treated), repelling light rain and spray during short showers or when water splashes over the boat or bank. - Secure Storage: zippered side pockets and a zippered breast pocket, all using YKK zips. The breast pocket suits small critical items such as a bite alarm receiver, phone, or keys. - Breathability: the combination of soft shell and a highly breathable membrane lets sweat vapour escape, preventing the clammy, cold feeling that occurs when an angler exerts energy and then rests. - Technology: WINDSTOPPER Soft Shell (Fleece Backed) - Protection: Fully Windproof Body, Drizzle Resistant - Thermal Mapping: Deep pile fleece in back and shoulders for high heat retention - Pockets: Zippered Side Pockets and Zippered Breast Pocket - Zippers: YKK Zips - Movement: Sleeveless design for maximum arm mobility - Layering: Ideal as outer layer or insulating mid-layer - Design Origin: Designed and Made by Halkon Hunt in the UK - Colours: Available with Blue or Red detailing
