Daiwa Windstopper Sweater

Description

The Daiwa Windstopper Sweater is a versatile mid-layer built for the unpredictable conditions anglers face on the bank. Designed and made in the UK by Halkon Hunt, it uses fleece-backed WINDSTOPPER Soft Shell fabric from GORE-TEX LABS to block cold wind while staying highly breathable for active wear. It works equally well as a standalone outer layer in milder weather or as a technical mid-layer under a waterproof shell, giving flexible protection across the year. The design combines windproof technology with angler-specific reinforcements to support comfort, movement and durability: - WINDSTOPPER Soft Shell Fabric: keeps the body and arms fully windproof, eliminating wind chill while retaining high breathability. The fleece backing provides moderate heat retention, making it ideal for temperature regulation on the bank. - Ergonomic Stretch and Movement: the soft shell fabric features extra stretch for superior comfort and range of motion, which matters for unrestricted casting, netting and handling tackle. - Reinforced Wear Zones: reinforced shoulders and top of the back improve durability, protecting the fabric from abrasion caused by carrying luggage, rod holdalls or heavy seat box straps. - Forearm Protection: rip-stop water-resistant fabric on the forearm adds wear resistance and protection against water and slime when handling wet nets, fish and line. - Hand Warmer Pouch: a large windproof pouch pocket warms hands quickly in cold weather or securely holds small essentials such as tippet spools, keys or a headlamp. - Drizzle Resistance: the outer material is drizzle resistant (DWR treated), shedding light rain and spray during short showers. - Layering Fit: hem cuffs improve the fit when the sweater is worn under a waterproof outer shell, stopping the sleeves bunching up and streamlining the layering system.
