Anglers travel to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to catch fish. It’s a force that is driven within them. They are in search of the biggest, badest trophy sized fish. Nothing is going to stop them. Not the weather or anything else. Often it’s their clothes that fail. Apparel especially pants for anglers rarely are constructed and designed with them in mind. Are your pants tuff enuff? They are if you have RailRiders VersaTac Light or Mid Pants.
Tuff enuff pants for anglers? RailRiders VersaTac Light or Mid Pants (www.railriders.com) were designed for anglers challenging the nastiest weather or conditions they would ever face. The RailRiders VersaTac Light Pants are made with super tough yet lightweight 3-ounce Duralite Nylon fabric. That’s the same material used in the RailRiders Weather Pants. The RailRiders VersaTac Light Pants also feature a gusseted crotch and double-reinforced knees and seat. The RailRiders VersaTac Mid Pants are heavier and are made with extra durable 6.6-ounce Yukon Canvas Weave nylon fabric and features the same gusseted crotch with double-reinforced knees and seat.
Anglers love pockets in their pants. Pockets are great places to store a multi-tool, pliers, hook removers, Boca grips, lures, extra hooks, sinkers or anything you want to take fishing. The RailRiders VersaTac Light or Mid Pants have six large pockets including a specially designed side cargo pocket with internal pockets that can hold lures, flashlight, clippers or small fishing tools, vertical zippers on the front of the cargo pockets that allow access while an angler is sitting, kneeling or driving their boat, reinforced pocket openings for abrasion against knife or pliers chaffing and the pockets that can be closed by either Velcro, double button or both. The front pockets close with Velcro and double-button closures while the back pockets have flaps with Velcro and double-button closures.
Anglers are either on their knees taking a fish off or sitting on the bank after stalking a fish upstream. Either way their knees or pant seat is exposed to repeated abuse. Pants that are not tough enough will rip and tear in those two critical places. No angler wants to wear pants with holes in their knees or on the seat of their pants. RailRiders VersaTac Light or Mid Pants have reinforced knees and seat to protect the angler from being exposed.
