A first on our list and a truly great gift idea for any angler are the awesome Backcountry Skinz Neoprene pants. Skinz pants have revolutionized the wading industry by combining versatility, comfort, durability, and affordability. These lightweight and compressed pants are wader alternatives, designed for wet-wading fans and lightweight anglers. A perfect choice for those who value lightness and flexibility over bulky, leaky waders or flimsy dry pants. They are remarkably versatile, great for all weather conditions, warm to cool. A unique compression fit provides maximum support and ease of movement while regulating leg temperature for comfort in any water temperature. They provide unbeatable protection against bushes, bugs, and rocks. Choose from an all-weather 2.0 model, ideal for active individuals who tend to feel colder while outdoors, or a thinner, lighter 1.0 version, perfect for warmer conditions. Both models can also be used as a base layer under waders. They will provide warmth without adding the extra bulk while being super-comfortable. Besides wading/wet wading, these awesome pants are great for other outdoor activities - kayak/SUP fishing, hiking/backpacking, watercraft, windsurfing, and water sports. And, did we mention, these are unisex?
