arms, this would be the ideal suit for the active angler who is casting uptiders or engaging in other more active forms of fi shing. Svendsen has introduced
its exciting Aquanaut two- piece fl otation suit for this year. Featuring a soft-touch breathable outer and highly breathable internal foam, it is designed to be as comfortable as possible. Svendsen also claims that both its Aquanaut and Premium fl otation suits are the fi rst to conform to both CE and ISO 12402-5 standards. Both Svendsen’s X-lite one-piece and two-piece suits have been great sellers over several years,
and really do stand out in their distinctive grey-and-orange livery.
Although not off ering any
fl otation, Svendsen has also introduced two interesting dry suits to its angling- clothing range. Ideal if you are looking for total movement and waterproofness, such as when kayak fi shing, they open interesting new sales opportunities.
Other options
Another brand off ering an extensive range of fl otation suits that are popular with both anglers and sailors is Mullion. T is is owned by outdoor- clothing specialist Sioen, which
also has the Baleno brand. With a history of developing
protective clothing for such demanding industries as off shore oil and gas exploration, commercial fi shing and defence contracts, Mullion has extensive expertise in fl otation design, and this can be seen in the range of suits aimed at the leisure sailor and angler. T e Mullion North Sea
collection has been particularly popular and is available in a very wide range of sizes, to suit most anglers.
Although off ering a great line-up of fl otation suits, Sweden’s Baltic brand has a much wider product portfolio than this, and also has a massive
range of life jackets, along with a good selection of fl otation clothing that is designed to be much more fashionable than the standard suits. While not designed to give full buoyancy, the wide range of jackets and gilets do off er interesting opportunities that diff er from the mainstream designs. T ere really is no excuse for
not wearing fl otation gear these days. From modern lightweight, breathable and insulated suits, to more aff ordable super- waterproof designs, and even fashion clothing containing buoyancy, the choice is out there for your customers. Safety has never looked so
good!
Flotation suits are becoming increasingly popular with pike anglers.
