Hoodies are a great choice for any outdoor activity, such as angling, as not only do they keep your body warm but you also have a hood to wear if you need a bit of extra warmth.
They really are something which can be worn all year round, and not only are they very practical, but they are also comfortable to wear as well, and they look stylish.
The Korda hoodie range has expanded over the years from the original TK Hoodie and now includes different hoodies for different times of the year – after all, on a chilly summer night you don’t necessarily want to be wearing something designed for arctic conditions, and the reverse is true with lighter weight ones during the winter months!
Hoodies feel really snug to wear whilst at the same time not feeling restrictive when you are active, such as casting out, and have the advantage that the hood can be pulled up and fitted snugly over your head when needed – such as in situations where you might not need a jacket on or the hood on your jacket is warmer than what you need.
Plus, they feature large pockets at the front which are great for keeping your hands warm with your arms in a comfortable position, such as when standing looking out at a lake, watching for fish jumping.
As well as including different weights and materials of the traditional style of hoodie, the Korda Clothing range also now has zip versions, which make them even more versatile thanks to a full length zip, which some people prefer to the original versions.
So, whether you are looking for a hoodie to be worn as a top layer in the warmer months, or something to go under a jacket in the depths of winter, you will find something that suits your style and taste within the Korda range.
Korda TK Hoodie
The original TK Hoodie is still an incredibly popular choice, especially since the range of different colours has been expanded.
Not only does it look good and is tailored to fit your body well, but the 320gsm fleece jersey material means that it feels cosy against your skin, and is especially snug once the hood is up and has been adjusted for a perfect fit via two drawcord loops – especially designed so that they don’t hang down like those found on most hoodies, and potentially get in the way when photographing a fish!
Whilst it fits very well and looks great, it also allows you to move freely thanks to the raglan shoulders and stretchy panels under the arms. The sleeves feature thumb holes, so they can be pulled down to keep the backs of your hands warm, or you can keep them warm in the ‘kangaroo pouch’ style pocket at the front – this also has two smaller upright pockets within it which help to store items securely, which might easily otherwise fall out of the main pocket, which is a common issue with these pockets on hoodies.
It is available in a choice of black, dark olive, charcoal grey, Dark Kamo, and Light Kamo, in sizes from small to 3XL.
Korda Zip Pro Hoodie
The Zip Pro Hoodie is extremely good at keeping out the cold and wind, whilst keeping warmth in, thanks to the material used to make it and it is great for use during the colder months.
This hoodie uses a blend of 75% cotton and 25% polyester to form a 280gsm double knit, inter-locking fabric, which is really comfortable to wear and even has some water repellent qualities if you do get caught out in the rain.
The sleeves feature ribbed cuffs to keep them in place and stop them riding up, such as when putting a coat on over the top, and also help prevent draughts, and the large pocket on each side is ideal for keeping your hands warm.
The hood is very snug and can be adjusted, via a drawcord, so that it will stay in place on your head even when it is windy, and the neck comes up higher enough that it keeps out the cold.
It comes in olive green and is available in sizes from small to 3XL.
Korda Zip Hoodie
If you’re looking for a zipped hoodie that is perfect to be worn as a top layer during the summer months, or in conjunction with other layers during the winter, then this is the ideal choice, whatever outdoor activity you’re taking part in, or even for going down the pub.
This Zip Hoodie is stylish and well tailored, so won’t look out of place wherever you wear it, and the 280gsm material is made from a mixture of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, and will keep you warm without making you too hot, especially when wearing it on summer evenings as the temperature starts to drop.
It allows enough movement for activities such as playing a fish, and has a hood with a draw string to keep out the cold – or even for keeping away mosquitoes! A full length high quality zip is used to do it up, and there is a large pocket on each side.
You can choose from olive, black, charcoal, or Dark Kamo versions, in sizes from small to XXXL.
Korda Lightweight Hoodie
This has been designed for use during the summer months, where you want an extra layer in the evenings or early morning, but don’t want to end up too hot and sweating in a thicker hoodie.
The Lightweight Hoodie is made from 270gsm fabric using 58% cotton, 38% polyester and 5% spandex, to create a garment which fits very well and doesn’t hang off of your body, yet has enough stretch in it that you will hardly even notice you are wearing it when engaging in any activity that requires upper body movement.
Unlike our other hoodies, this one actually has cuffs and a neck that are deliberately designed to be loose fitting, so as to allow for good air flow and to help prevent you from over-heating whilst wearing it.
Available in a choice of black, olive green, or Light Kamo, and in sizes from small to 3XL.
