Columbia Firestorm
Jacket (9) $275.00
www.columbia.com
Some parts of the body are hotter than others. Columbia’s Firestorm jacket uses re- flective Omni-Heat lining to insulate the cold places and Omni-Wick EVAP fabric to ven- tilate hot spots. The shell beads away water and blocks the wind. A hood with visor and elastic band stays put and seals out drafts. Cuffs are double sealed and all zippers are waterproof, completing Firestorm’s weather barrier. Two large breast pockets hold gear and two side pockets with Omni-Heat lin- ing keep hands warm. From the hood to the hem, Columbia didn’t miss a storm-proof detail with their Firestorm jacket.

Duane’s Fishing
Soap (3) $5.00
www.seascapesoap.com
Fishermen stink. Slime, blood and guts turn off non-anglers, and oils, detergents and sweat scare off the fish. Before a day on the water and before a hot date, wash your hands with Duane’s Fishing Soap. This handcrafted soap is made with anise essential oils that smell like black licorice, which is a lot better than the smell of rotting fish. In addition, the soap will mask human scent so the fish won’t smell you either.

with Petzl’s new Tactikka + headlamp. Designed for anglers, the mixed beam (wide base with focused component) is designed to provide close up light for tying knots and distance viewing for navigating a kayak through rocks, tree branches and bridge pilings.

Constant Lighting technology keeps the beam from losing brightness as the battery loses power.

The handle of the bottle opener is de- signed to look like a swimming plug lure attached to a one-handed opener, if it wasn’t obvious in the picture.
