There’s something exhilarating about hitting the water, feeling the salt spray against your face as you embark on a thrilling fishing adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice looking to use fishing as a reason to go to the local pub afterwards, Billfish Gear has got you covered. Billfish Gear have recently launched an exceptional range of apparel, branded as the ultimate companion for a successful and stylish day out on the water. Jump on board as we experience the new apparel range from Billfish Gear for ourselves.
“For me, comfort and style need to walk hand-in-hand.”
Whilst I can attest to the fact that uncomfortable clothing is one of the biggest distractions when trying to catch a fish, I would also be the first to say that looking good on the water in this digital age of social media is a necessity (maybe the traditional will disagree). Luckily for me, Billfish Gear has been able to incorporate a suite of innovative features into clothing that is simplistic yet trendy.
As soon as you put on a piece of Billfish gear, you know it was built by fisherman, for fisherman. Every detail, feature and design element has been incorporated for a reason – and that reason is to accommodate those while out on the water fishing.
Billfish Gear understands that comfort is key during long hours on the water.
Their apparel line boasts moisture-wicking fabrics, which means that regardless of how wet you get, how windy it might be or if the rain starts to fall, the apparel will not feel heavy and drag you down while actively fishing. Instead, the water will run off the side of the clothing and mean your apparel will dry in no time.
Safety is at the forefront of everyone’s minds in this day and age, and Billfish gear understand that. They have ensured that UV protection is incorporated into every item of clothing. With some added sunglasses and sunscreen, the sun will be the last thing you need to worry about on the water.
Every item of clothing at Billfish gear has ergonomic designs that keep you cool and protected from the elements. The range of hats features a series of lazer holes across the back panel, which not only take weight out of the hat, but means that your head is able to breathe with the fresh air of the open waters. The hats are nylon-based, meaning that unlike standard cotton hats, they will not get the circular sweat stains that we all hate, and will retain their shape even after being washed or submersed. Its these little details that go along way when out in the Australian elements.
One of the major elements of a successful product in any market is development of a design. Gone are the days where you can create a product and think that will be good enough the following year. At Billfish Gear, they have been continually looking at news ways to better their craft. Let’s take their performance pants for example.
In 2022, they released v2.0 which builds on the v1.0 with slight improvements in some key areas. They added new YKK-grade zippers, made to withstand saltwater, and added a piece of fabric on the inside of the pants to protect the zippers from rubbing against your legs. They could have stopped there. Instead, they also added zipper pockets to improve its durability and revamped the sweatband and added new drawcords. I mean, seriously?
It is cool to think that only three years ago this brand started off the back of a sticker. Yep, you read that correctly. Three years ago, the team at Billfish Gear had a cool idea to create a sticker with the logo. That weekend they had sold out. That sticker then turned into a first batch of hats and the rest is history. Since then, the team has been fortunate enough to receive support from fishermen around the globe. From the Costa Rica all the way to Australia, their products are being put to use, proudly.
With the full range now available within Australia, an announcement many have been waiting for, this is your chance to get your hands on some seriously quality fishing apparel. Check it out HERE!
