Taking Stealth To The Next Level
Apr 8th, 2009 by Aqua Design Editor
Yes, we’re proud to say we’ve broken through some barriers with our new Voyager Series.
The shirts, wading pants (which convert to shorts with a zip), cap, boonie hat and bandana in this line have more vivid colors and more realistic patterns – thanks to improvements in printing technology. They are our stealthiest fishing clothing ever. And that’s saying something based on the comments we receive from anglers (and some photographers) around the world who have used Aqua Design clothing to be as visually quiet as they can when approaching places where fish are known to hang out.
Most anglers don’t really know if they’re scaring fish or not by their presence. Voyager enables you to replace uncertainly with confidence that you’re nearly invisible to fish — and improve your chances of a good catch.
Our first-ever bandana extends the angler camouflage arsenal. You can cover up nearly completely with this handy piece of cloth. And it can serve well to protect the back of your neck from the sun if need be.
Aside from clothing as cloaking device (apologies to Star Trek), we’ve made all the pieces very useful and comfortable. There are pockets and tool attachments strategically placed everywhere you really need them so you can load up on gear and never have to come back to shore. The material wicks sweat nicely, and dries quickly even if thoroughly water-soaked, so you stay comfortable. If you’ve ever been caught by a wind gust that sent your hat flying, you’ll appreciate the Voyager cap and boonie hat, both of which are size adjustable and float – in case an extra strong gust comes along.
We all know how harmful UV radiation can be, especially when reflected off the water. Not all clothing offers good protection. Voyager clothing naturally blocks up to 99% of the sun’s rays, so if you’re covered, you know you’re well protected.
Maybe one of your older Aqua Design shirts is wearing around the elbows? Or maybe you’re new to camouflage clothing. Both are perfect opportunities to test out something from our Voyager line. When you do, please tell us what you think when you get back home.
