by the fact that there are no cool and interesting clothes for women who fish. I have been searching and searching for weeks trying to find some waterproof pants that would be good for fishing and have good mobility and stretch without making me look like an enormous puffy man. My question is always why can’t they make a good quality “ski or board” type pant for us fisherbabes out there? I mean something that lets our men know that they have an actual woman in the boat with them and not just their old fishing buddy Bob?

Now I love ski and board type pants for fishing for several reasons. First of all, the have a nice amount of pockets on them that zip or fasten. This is important for us ladies because we like to keep things like chapstick and a compact mirror handy and within easy grabbing reach. And…besides our own things…we have to keep chapstick, sunscreen, and other small items for our guys who think they won’t need them but by the middle of the day are begging for just a swipe of your pink tinted chapstick. This means you carry two types of chapstick to save him the embarrassment of wearing lip gloss in all his pictures with his 50 inch fish!!

Secondly, ski or board type pants have a great fit for women. They cup and enhance and show off our good bits and hide the wobbly ones. They have a great line straight from the hip to shoe which ensures that any body type looks very chic. Also, they are usually a bit higher waisted which ensures a nice showing off of the booty area and less showing off of the usually a problem tummy area.

Thirdly, this pant is waterproof AND warm all on its own. Usually just one thin base layer is good enough to keep you plenty warm while moving down those slopes. This means that you do not have three pairs of jeans and a pair of hikers underneath your rain pants. Believe me…I look much slimmer and much hotter in my ski pants that my 8 pairs of base layers and Cabelas Khakis underneath my thick gore-tex rain pants…why can’t we just get an all in one style so we don’t all look like elephants. I mean…elephants are cute…but they aren’t sexy!!!

Another good thing about this type of pant is that they are usually made of some sort of waterproof, yet stretchy material. Which means your man gets to appreciate the tight butt while you are still able to move around and be totally comfortable. They are sexy and comfortable…which almost never happens in fashion as is proven by the lovely but torturous stiletto heel. This “sexy yet comfy” combo never occurs with outdoorsy type clothing.

The final and most important reason I think there needs to be this type of pant made for us fisherbabes is because the pants are the most important part of the fishing outfit. Yes…I said outfit!! Girls are girls regardless of whether they are dressed up in fancy lace lingerie or hitting the lake with her boys. I think a sexy girl should be able to feel like her sexy self no matter the setting she is in. It is my personal belief that more women do not fish because of the nasty crap that goes into it like the gross over sized clothing that you are expected to wear. Now… I am sorry, but if I have to mess with fish guts and blood…I wanna look freakin fabulous while I’m doing it…

And this is why I am frustrated by my lack of great fishing fashion. You boys look so super sexy in your tight jeans and sexy rain gear…with your baseball caps on and your sunglasses and us girls just look like a big blob of coveralls and over sized boots. I guess I will keep searching…maybe I should design my own line of fabulous yet perfectly suitable fishing fashion for women…hmmmmmmmm…

Happy Shopping…
