For quite some time now Chota Outdoor Gear has been one of the leading manufacturers in design and functionality for the boating and kayaking industry. Chota has taken their knowledge of waterproofing and retaining body heat and taken on the task of helping fly anglers become more comfortable and better equipped for the great outdoors.
If the spring season and large lake run fish are what drive your fishing fancy, then being prepared for cold weather is a must. Spring thaw conditions can spell havoc for fly fisherman with ice cold water temperatures and bone chilling winds. Out of all the gear fly fishermen purchase every year, gloves are probably the one item that anglers give the least thought to when purchasing, and that can cost an individual more than just a few lost fish. Being able to keep your hands warm throughout a days fishing is not a simple undertaking, but with Chota’s new Stow-A-Way Neo Gloves, this essential task is easier than ever.
Chota’s Stow-A-Way II Neo Gloves Feature:
·Chota’s Patented Stow-A-Way System
·Super flexible 2.75mm closed-cell neoprene
·Textured skin-out surface
·Blind-stitched inside nylon lining
·Triple glued water-resistant seams
First and foremost Chota’s Stow-A-Way gloves keep a fly anglers hands dry above all else. The thick 2.75 mm closed cell neoprene is 100% waterproof, and the ideal material for gloves used by the stream fisherman. If you intend on repeatedly dipping your hands into ice cold water to handle fish or slack line this is the material for you. Additionally this neoprene although thick enough to keep the cold out is still flexible enough to allow anglers to easily strip line or throw mends against drag producing drifts. The patented Stow-A-Way design incorporated into these gloves also helps anglers complete the many different tasks involved with fishing by providing anglers with much needed dexterity in their fingers. The Stow-A-Way design features a removable forefinger and thumb in the gloves design, and allows these finger coverings to tucked away snuggly under the wrist guard. Having the chance to free up a few fingers at a moments notice will help accomplish small intricate tasks like tying leader to tippet connections or changing flies in few seconds flat. One of the real great features to the Stow-A-Way II glove is their simplistic design. This clean smooth outer surface prevents lines, leaders or flies from hanging up on your gloves becoming unnecessary tangles.
On the inside these gloves feature specially glued seams and a smooth nylon fabric liner to keep the cold out and the warmth in. Spacious finger slots and blind seams make for hours of chafe free use keeping your hands feeling better and you fishing longer.
Chota’s Stow-A-Way II Neo Glovesare a necessity for any angler who is serious about fishing the early spring or fall runs of trout and salmon. While these gloves provide more than adequate protection from the extreme elements, they do so in such a way that allows anglers to keep their respective dexterity saving time and trouble with the many complicated skills needed in a days fishing.
