Night Fishing Clothing Guide: Stay Warm Through Damp & Drop-Off Temps

Nights by the water are where the magic happens. They are also where warmth disappears the fastest. When air cools and damp settles onto the bank, your clothing system decides whether you stay sharp or pack up early.

Moisture steals heat

After sunset, air temperature drops and humidity rises. Sweat and damp clothing pull warmth from your body. Breathability is what keeps you comfortable and ready for action.

A base layer that works while you wait

Your base layer should continually wick moisture away from your skin. Once that layer gets overwhelmed, cold creeps in fast.

Insulation that breathes

Warmth isn’t just about piling on heat. Synthetic insulation like Primaloft® keeps you warm while allowing sweat vapour to escape. You stay cosy, not clammy.

Waterproof outer that stabilises your temperature

A breathable waterproof outer creates the final barrier, holding warmth inside the system while stopping damp and wind draining your energy. Why cotton is the enemy at night

It absorbs moisture and dries slowly, sucking heat from your body right when carp become most active.

Be ready to move

If alarms sound, you need to move freely. Clothing that flexes with you keeps you confident netting fish at awkward angles in the dark.

Small pieces that make a big difference

• Beanie to slow heat loss from your head
• Neck gaiter for damp air protection
• Thin gloves so you can still tie rigs
