Frabill just continues to win awards for its apparel. In 2010, Frabill won the apparel category in ICAST’s New Product Showcase with the company’s FXE Stormsuit then this year winning the apparel category with the Frabill Suit. They are achieving these ac- colades by designing and engineering angler friendly outerwear.  The Frabill Suit is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable jacket and bibs set.

The Frabill Suit, designed and engineered by Chris Leonard Frabill’s apparel engineer, to be worn by itself or layered with other clothing. How much clothing an angler decides to wear is up to them. If the temperatures are extremely cold they can wear a Frabill FXE Windproof Fleece jacket, but when it’s not as cold, the angler can wear just a hoodie or even a t-shirt.
The matching jacket and bibs Frabill Suit (www.Frabill.com) incorporates many of the trademark features, but with a lighter weight 300 denier nylon shell that’s windproof, waterproof, and breathable.  The Frabill Suit also includes the following features:

For southern bass anglers, the Frabill Suit replaces their old coveralls with outerwear that’s both technologically and ergonomic  advanced; in addition to being waterproof, windproof, and breathable. Unlike their angling buddies from up north that fish on solid ice, bass anglers in the south drive around in their bass boats in large impounds  that never freeze over . On warm days, anglers need little clothing to stay warm; however  when a cold north wind blows, anglers will often dress in layers.

Outerwear for anglers continues to progress resulting in better apparel with technological advanced materials. For anglers, the progress equal more comfort while out fishing; for Frabill more accolades for designing and manufacturing outerwear for anglers.
