Striker Ice Clothing: A Perfect Blend of Performance, Safety, and Style
Learn how Striker Ice fishing gear achieves outstanding performance. Explore innovative features and technologies of Striker bibs, jackets, and rainwear.
As the frosty air nips at your nose and the ice crunches beneath your feet, there’s something undeniably magical about venturing out for an ice fishing expedition. But to truly embrace this winter wonderland experience, you need gear that can withstand the elements. So, let’s dive into the world of Striker Ice, one of the most renowned fishing apparel brands, to discover how its innovative technologies have redefined the ice fishing gear landscape, ensuring you’re not only prepared but excited to face the icy challenges ahead.
Striker Ice Bibs & Jackets for Ice Fishing
Apex – ultimate warmth without the bulk
When you’re out on the ice, staying warm is crucial. But who says you have to sacrifice mobility for warmth? The Apex collection is designed to keep you toasty without weighing you down. With the cutting-edge PrimaLoft Cross Core Insulation, you’ll enjoy exceptional heat retention in a lightweight package. And to crank up the warmth even more, the Heatmap thermal lining reflects your body heat back to you.
Climate – warmth, versatility, and a removable liner
Sometimes Mother Nature likes to throw curveballs, and the Climate collection is here to help you adapt. Its removable G2 softshell liner adds versatility, allowing you to adjust your gear according to the changing weather. The Hydrapore Waterproof laminate keeps you dry during those unexpected snowstorms, while Thermadex Insulation adds an extra layer of warmth to keep you comfortable.
It’s noteworthy that while the Hydrapore is waterproof, it has a waterproofing/breathability rating of only 5K/5K, which means it’s designed only for light rain and snow. If you want something that stands against heavy rain and snow falling under light pressure, you might want to consider the Striker rain gear featuring the advanced Hydrapore Pro laminate with a rating of 15K/10K.
Hardwater – loaded with insulation, storage, and functionality
Do you love having all your gear within arm’s reach? The Hardwater collection has got you covered. With features like the Line Cutterz zipper pull, integrated forceps holders, and ten storage pockets, you’ll have everything you need right at your fingertips. Plus, the generous insulation ensures you stay warm even when the temperature plummets.
Predator – lightweight and warm for anglers on the move
If you’re the type of angler who’s always on the go, the Striker Predator jacket and bib collection is perfect for you. It’s designed to be lightweight and warm, making it ideal for those who need to cover long distances on the ice. The 3-way zip to hip and cross-flow venting provides increased mobility and comfort, so you can focus on catching that trophy fish instead of worrying about your gear.
Trekker – for early or late ice
For those who like to get a head start on the season or want to squeeze in one last adventure before the ice melts, the Trekker collection is a top choice. Its adjustable inseam and 600D Endura Shell ensure durability and flexibility, providing a comfortable fit that lasts all day. And, of course, the Trekker jacket and bib feature the Sureflote.
Sureflote Floatation Assist – because safety first!
By exploring the mentioned Striker ice suits, you’ve probably made sure that these perfectly fall under the category of apparel where function meets fashion. But what about safety? Striker has thought everything through – it designed the Sureflote. This unique added buoyancy system uses expanded low-density foam, which traps air to create multi-layer membranes with air pockets. Not only is the Sureflote membrane moisture-resistant, but it also offers excellent mobility and extra protection in extremely cold conditions.
When you wear the whole Striker float suit, you can rely on flotation assistance for up to two hours for an average person. Even if you’re just wearing the bib or jacket alone, you’ll still experience buoyancy. All this is cool, but please be aware that the Sureflote flotation system is designed as flotation assistance and is not a Personal Flotation Device.
Striker Ice Women’s Collections: Prism and Stella
Ladies, Striker Ice hasn’t forgotten about you offering women’s ice fishing clothes like the Prism and the Stella collections.
The Prism collection combines style, warmth, and functionality in its bibs and jackets, making it a go-to clothing system for female ice anglers fishing in more forgiving conditions. The drop seat design adds convenience, while the upper bib stretch panels ensure a comfortable and flexible fit. And the Line Cutterz zipper pull featured in the men’s Hardwater collection brings even more practicality allowing you to switch lures on the fly. Inspired by the men’s Apex collection, the Stella range offers 133g of Primaloft insulation; and the HeatMap reflective thermal lining to keep you cozy during those frosty fishing trips.
Striker Rainwear
When the weather takes a turn for the worse, Striker rainwear has got you covered – literally; as it’s designed to shield you from even the most torrential downpours. Let’s take a closer look at the Striker rain gear.
Adrenaline – for milder conditions
If you’re looking for reliable rain protection, the Adrenaline collection is your go-to choice. With waist-high waterproof leg zippers and waterproof neoprene cuffs; you can be sure the water stays out, allowing you to focus on reeling in those fish.
Denali – built for the cold
Unlike the Adrenaline designed for warmer conditions, the Denali was made to help you fight cold. Featuring the mentioned Heatmap thermal lining, this rainwear adds extra warmth to keep you toasty. The adjustable lower-leg and sleeve cuffs with internal neoprene provide a snug fit, ensuring cold air and moisture stay out.
eVolve – waterproofing, breathability, wind-resistance
The main feature of the Evolve collection is the eVent breathable/waterproof/windproof fabric. While leading competitors’ fabrics need a rise in temperature and moisture pressure inside the garment before they can achieve maximum breathability and release moisture, eVent’s patented Direct Venting technology instantly vents moisture away from your body while keeping the elements out.
Striker UPF Apparel
While Striker Ice has excelled in designing ice fishing garments that provide warmth, safety; and style, it also recognizes the importance of sun protection during hot-weather fishing pursuits. So, what’s great about its fishing hoodies and long-sleeve shirts? Striker UPF clothing features the highest possible rating of UPF 50+; meaning it blocks 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. Besides, it features a 4-way stretch design, odor resistance, and mesh panels for enhanced breathability.
Final Words
Striker fishing gear offers the ideal fusion of performance, safety, and style for anglers at any level of expertise. The thoughtfully designed apparel ensures you can fully enjoy your time on the water with confidence; no matter the season or weather conditions. So whether you’re venturing into the icy depths or embracing the warmth of a summer day, Striker Ice is your best choice.
