These are the strongest technical apparel picks in the set: gloves for dexterity plus weather protection, waterproof outerwear for rain and cold, and abrasion-resistant socks for wader use.
If you meant technical apparel innovation in the sense of on-water visibility, switch to polarized eyewear like Scottsboro Tackle Co Spearo XL Costa Sunglasses or Scottsboro Tackle Co CLIPPERTON COSTA SUNGLASSES.
If you want warm-weather comfort more than protection, Cavy Fishing Boardshorts are the lighter choice.
