Keep Cool & Look Cool With Avid
Easy-to-wear, breathable and lightweight—Avid Carp’s new clothing collection is a smart choice for the summer sun
This summer sees the global tackle manufacturer launch a highly detailed range of garms, this time under the name of ‘Distortion Camo’. This 5-piece-strong collection includes the softest-of-soft hoods, a pair of shorts, joggers and a lovely T-shirt. Here’s everything you need to know…
1. Distortion Camo Hoodie
Both of the new—and very comfy—hoods from Avid are the perfect mix between warmth, style and detailing, but it’s the Distortion Camo Hoodie that’s CARPology’s firm favourite. Heavy-ribbed elasticated sides make for a great fit. All the detailing—chunky drawcord and rubberised logo on the right breast—looks A1, and that’s before you get to its finished colourway: that unique ‘Distortion Camo’ print. Available in sizes M to XXL. £34.99
2. Distortion Zip Hoodie
Feeling slightly less adventurous or simply prefer a more standard carpy colour? Then opt for the Zip Hoodie which comes in a lovely muted green pantone with a neat Distortion Camo hood lining. The luxurious zipper style hood is the perfect garment to layer with other clothing items in cooler weather, or as an outer layer during those early morning or late evening viewing sessions. £34.99
3. Distortion Camo T-shirt
With the sun now fully poking its head through the clouds, here’s yet another sharp-looking tee from Avid to keep you looking and feeling cool this summer. Cut from the same camo print cloth as the hoodie, but this time in a super soft cotton. It’s your perfect companion for when out stalking/floater fishing on those hot, sticky summer days. £14.99
4. Distortion Camo Jogger Shorts
Avoid feeling like you’re dressed in neoprene this summer with these stylish jogger shorts. Mix the soft khaki green fabric with an elasticated waist with drawcord, and a generous cut, and you’ve got shorts which you can roam the banks in super comfort for days. Detailed styling comes in the form of Avid branding on the front and rear, and it’s here you’ll find an open top pocket in the brand’s Distortion Camo print. £19.99
5. Distortion Camo Joggers
Continue that feeling of being wrapped up in a duvet with the Camo Joggers. Cuffs at the foot-end ensure the bottoms don’t
get covered in mud, whilst the black drawcord, zipped side pockets and rear open top pocket in Avid’s Distortion camo pattern finish them off nicely. Perfect
for use all year round. £29.99
6. Thermite Pro Bodywarmer
Or as the French call it, a Gilet. A practical piece of kit which can be worn on the bank or look equally as sharp when you go to the pub on a Friday. It features quilted front and rear panels—which are finished in khaki green—helping to keep you warm in the areas that matter whilst not inhibiting your casting etc. And joining those two panels together is a soft-touch, windproof fabric with a fleece lining. There are two side pockets, a soft chin guard, and an outer zipped chest pocket for valuables. Available in sizes M to XXL. £34.99
7. Thermite Pro Jacket
Finding a jacket which is both comfortable, functional and warm isn’t easy. In fact, it’s nigh-on impossible, so it’s high fives and chest-bumps for Avid and their Thermite Pro Jacket. Just as with the Bodywarmer, the Jacket features the same quilted front and rear panels, along with a quilted hood and chin section. Marry these with a soft-touch, windproof fabric on the sides and you’ve got a lightish jacket which doesn’t restrict your casting/baiting up stance, and yet packs some serious heat. Available in sizes M to XXL. £39.99
