Patagonia
Marlwalker II Boots
Your Cuban guide might be
able to wade barefoot on the flats,
but your feet aren’t up to the
task. Those pampered podiatrics
deserve the Marlwalker II flats
wading boots from Patagonia.
Quick-drying uppers, a padded
tongue, and a gel insole make
them comfortable enough to
wear all day. The high-traction
rubber sole sheds mud, resists
punctures, and doesn’t catch fly
lines. Slip into a pair for $115.

Cortland Precision
Tropic Plus Lines
The best way to screw up a
great trip to the tropics is to
bring the wrong fly line. If you
don’t believe us, just take your
favorite striper line and let it
bake for a while on the scorching
deck of a flats boat. Feel a
bit noodley? Then drag it across
a few coral heads. Starting to
abrade, yet? Make your next flats
trip a success with a hard-coated,
species-specific Precision Tropic
Plus line. Tie one on for $65.

3XDry Solarflex Hoody
The Solarflex Hoody was designed
for hard-core flats guides,
but it works just as well for regular
guys like us. This soft, light,
stretchy shirt strikes the perfect
balance between high-tech performance
and uncompromising
sun protection. It’s rated at UPF
30, and sports a unique stretch
collar/hood design which easily
converts into an integrated
full face and neck shield. Save
yourself a sunburn for $55.

Guideline
Mantis Bifocals
Without a pair of polarized
glasses, you don’t have a prayer
of seeing that bonefish. Without
your clip-on magnifiers, you’ll
never tie on that Crazy Charlie.
Enter the award-winning Mantis
Bifocals from Guideline, sporting
polarized, polycarbonate
lenses with inset magnifier lenses.
The semi-rimless frame allows
the magnifiers to be set below
your normal field of view. Bring
things into focus for just $89.
