Though I'd post this in the salt forum as that is what I generally fish, but this would apply to all types of fishing.
Over the past five years or so, I've worn a hoodie that had a fleece lining but with a cotton outer. Not a great combo, but it worked.
Over the course of a day of fishing, water would start creeping up the sleeves due to the cotton outer.
Not big deal in the summer, not ideal in the winter. I needed a new solution.
I ordered a Under Armour Storm Fleece hoodie and gave it a workout this weekend in a bunch of wind and rain. I was pleasantly surprised to have bone dry arms at the end of both days.
Where I really noticed the water repellent capabilities was when I was washing the salt off my gear. It was raining pretty hard and the rain just beaded up on the surface. One good shake and ready to wear the next day.
I have no affiliation with Under Armour. Just passing on some info on a product that functioned well for me. These are on sale now as well if you are looking to buy your own Christmas gift.
