Cold Weather Clothing
A layering system of moisture wicking clothing seem to work best for both top and bottom applications. Fleece pants (no jeans) work best under your waders. Liner socks under your wading socks will make your feet feel cozy. Fleece hat and gloves along with a Buff is recommended. Breathable Gore-Tex wading/rain jacket is a must for our inclement weather conditions here on Steelhead Alley.
