Integrity Flotation Vest
Increase your chances of surviving an inadvertent winter-fishing swim.
In your humble opinion, little else is more righteous than casting your fly in the first flurries of winter while wearing your thermal waders, an Irish fisherman's sweater, and the Mustang Survival Integrity Floatation Vest. The fish that favor chilly weather are going to make you work for every bite, so you might as well be warm while the fish toy with your emotions. The Integrity Vest lets you get your float on if you flounder on some slippery rocks, though you'll want to get out of the water in fairly short order.
Most adults only require 7-12 pounds of buoyancy to stay above water when the dip in the drink wasn't deliberate. Even with your occasionally overblown angling attitude, 15.5 pounds of lift is more than enough to keep you off the river or lake bottom. A combination of nylon and ripstop nylon offers a vigorous defense against wind and blowing mist, not to mention an errant branch or miscast fly. Flexible foam construction lets you move with impunity. Large armholes make it easy to slip this vest over your many layers.
A heavy duty zipper goes from your waist to your chin. The storm flap prevents sneaky wind from tickling your tummy, while the fleece-lined collar protects your neck and cradles your face. The internal waist belt cinches down so riding up is limited to your undies. A D-ring puts your multi-purpose tool within reach, since the last thing you want to do is reach inside your vest with fishy, slippery hands. Two hand-warmer pockets give your hands a break from the weather when you're waiting for a bite. The inside pocket safely totes your phone or camera, since so few people will believe you actually caught a fish in the middle of January.
