Garbolino 80th Anniversary Breathable Bib & Brace: Professional Protection

When the weather turns, your focus shouldnt shift from the fish to your discomfort. Here at Gerrys Fishing, we understand that serious angling requires serious apparel. The Garbolino 80th Anniversary Bib & Brace is a flagship piece of technical clothing, engineered with a high-performance 3-layer breathable fabric that keeps the elements out while allowing moisture to escape, ensuring you stay dry and sweat-free all day.

Dressed in the striking Anniversary black with signature blue trim, this isnt just about looksits built for the rigours of life on the seat box. Garbolino has strategically placed reinforcements at the calves, knees, and buttocksthe high-wear areas that take the most abuse when kneeling to unhook fish or sitting for hours in the rain. Fully waterproof and designed for maximum mobility, its the ultimate outer shell for the dedicated angler.

Precision Fit and Practicality

Getting in and out of your gear shouldnt be a struggle. This Bib & Brace features a full-length front zip protected by a Velcro-fastened storm flap to prevent water ingress. The legs are designed with a gusseted ankle to make sliding over your boots a breeze, finished with adjustable Velcro straps for a tailored, snug fit that prevents wind and rain from creeping up your legs.

Where to Use

• Match Fishing: The reinforced seat and knees are perfect for the constant movement of high-paced competition fishing.

• Extreme Weather: The 3-layer waterproof construction is designed to handle torrential downpours and biting winds without fail.

• Active Angling: Because the fabric is breathable, its ideal for sessions where you are moving frequently, preventing the clammy feeling of standard waterproofs.

• Boat or Bank: Whether youre sitting on a damp boat seat or kneeling on a muddy riverbank, the reinforced panels provide a vital extra barrier.

Technical Specifications

Gerrys Top Tip: To maintain the high-performance breathability of your 3-layer gear, never wash it with standard fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane. Instead, use a specialist technical wash (like Nikwax) every few sessions. This keeps the water beading off the surface and ensures the fabric continues to breathe as intended
