Now all of a sudden I’m waking up and finding the need to wear something to beat the morning chills. Well, that’s where the ESP Fleece Hoody comes into play.

As you would expect from ESP it looks great, understated and in olive green it’s just what I fancy. Constructed from 280g/m2 anti-pill fleece, as soon as you put it on you’re embraced by the comfort; it’s not just a mere fleece, though, it is also wind resistant, which is a godsend come this time of year, especially when I’m fishing in the teeth of the large winds.

An adjustable hood and waist allows me to fasten it down tight to my body, without restricting movement but reducing those dreaded draughts that can instantly put a chill down your spine.

What I really liked is the handwarmer pocket and thumb holes – I always assumed these were some kind of gimmick, but not only do they make a difference it’s a little home comfort that brings a smile to your face when being weather beaten on the bank.

To sum it up, this has made my recent trips out shooting features a lot more comfortable, and when you’re comfortable you often go that extra mile, stay for longer, watch for longer and eventually bag yourself a carp. (DM)
