Guru x Halkon Hunt Waterproof/Windstopper High Performance Fishing Suit Builder

Engineered in exclusive partnership with world-renowned specialist apparel manufacturer Halkon Hunt, the Guru GORE-TEX® and WINDSTOPPER® collection delivers a complete, professional-grade layering system tailored specifically to the physical demands of modern match and bank angling. Rather than relying on a single compromise garment, this bespoke system allows anglers to build and adapt their clothing to fluctuating weather - combining advanced, next-generation GORE-TEX® ePE waterproof outer shells with thermal WINDSTOPPER® Products by GORE-TEX LABS® mid-layers for total protection against driving rain, biting winds, and sub-zero bankside conditions.

GORE-TEX® Outer Waterproof Shells

Built around the next-generation GORE-TEX® ePE membrane, these waterproof outer layers provide guaranteed waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. Every garment features dual-weight 3-layer fabric zoning, placing heavy-duty abrasion-resistant laminates in high-contact zones and lighter 3-layer fabrics where breathability and unrestricted mobility are essential.

GORE-TEX® Pole Jacket

The primary outer shield and cornerstone of the Halkon Hunt weather defence system.

• Dual-Weight Fabric Mapping: Reinforced heavy-duty 3-layer GORE-TEX® across the shoulders, upper back, and forearms to resist abrasion from pole shipping and tackle handling, paired with lighter 3-layer fabric through the torso for total freedom of movement.
• Specialist Storm Hood: Fully detachable 5-panel rigid fabric hood engineered with integrated cap peak locator rim, dual toggle adjusters, and rear volume adjustment to stay secure in high headwinds.
• Weatherproof Enclosures: Premium full-length YKK® front zip shielded by an exterior hook-and-loop storm flap; high-cut fleece-lined collar to shield the lower face; elasticated waist hem to prevent updrafts.
• Cuff Architecture: Watertight neoprene inner cuffs paired with adjustable hook-and-loop exterior tabs to stop water running down arms during pole extension.
• Pockets: Two exterior YKK® zipped chest pockets with protective storm flaps, complemented by two quick-access, fleece-lined hand-warmer pockets.

GORE-TEX® Bib & Brace

Heavy-duty lower-body and core foul-weather protection designed around long sessions on the seatbox.

• Zoned Reinforcement: Double-layered seat and foreleg panels provide lasting resistance against kneeling on gravel and wet platforms; reinforced thighs withstand continuous pole resting.
• Angling-Specific Hem Cut: Ergonomically curved ankle cuffs cut higher at the heel to eliminate hem-treading and premature fraying, and longer over the forefoot for full boot coverage.
• Hardware & Storage: Two-way full-length front YKK® zip secured with an external hook-and-loop storm flap; two deep pockets secured by water-resistant YKK® zips.
• Fit & Sizing: Hook-and-loop ankle tensioners for effortless fitting over bulky winter boots. Available in Short (28–29") and Regular/Long (31–32") inseams.

GORE-TEX® Over Trousers

A packable, stormproof 28,000 mm hydrostatic head outer layer designed to slip over existing bank wear.

• Zero-Ingress Pocketless Design: Deliberately built without pocket openings, eliminating the primary entry points where driven water penetrates through to base layers.
• Abrasion Resistance: Reinforced seat and knees with an extended high-rise cut along the inner leg to withstand continuous friction from pole shipping and landing net handles.
• Seatbox-Ready Cut: High-rise rear back panel prevents the waist from pulling down while seated; elasticated waist with an integrated heavy-duty belt provides a secure hold.
• Footwear Integration: Raised rear hem prevents heel wear, lower front hem covers boots, and hook-and-loop ankle tabs prevent fabric snagging. Available in short and long leg versions.

WINDSTOPPER® Technical Mid & Outer Layers

Engineered with WINDSTOPPER® Products by GORE-TEX LABS® and the latest ePE membrane, these technical garments eliminate wind chill while offering active moisture vapor transfer and showerproof protection during crisp, cold, or drizzly conditions.

WINDSTOPPER® Softshell Jacket

A rugged, weather-resistant outer layer for dry, windy days, or a thermal mid-layer when winter sets in.

• Thermal Core: Heavyweight high-loft interior fleece bonded to a durable, windproof, shower-resistant outer fabric.
• Bank Durability: Hard-wearing reinforced elbow patches protect against seatbox armrest and tackle box friction.
• Storm Architecture: High-standing thermal collar, multi-point adjustable fitted hood, and three secure external zip pockets for bite alarms, phones, and match essentials.

WINDSTOPPER® Softshell Sweater

A versatile pull-over technical layer bridging the gap between standard knitwear and technical outerwear.

• Hybrid Construction: Smooth, hard-faced abrasion-resistant knit exterior treated with a drizzle-repelling DWR finish, backed by high-loft thermal fleece.
• Windproof Insulation: Blocks 100% of penetrating windchill while remaining fully breathable under heavy exertion.
• Angler Utility: Large integrated front kangaroo hand-warmer pocket keeps hands supple and responsive between pole adjustments and re-baiting.

WINDSTOPPER® Softshell Bottoms

Tailored thermal lower-body insulation designed to fit seamlessly beneath the GORE-TEX® Bib & Brace or Over Trousers, or worn independently.

• Fabrication: Smooth low-friction face fabric prevents bunching beneath outer shells, paired with an ultra-warm high-loft fleece backing.
• Fit & Finish: Deep black finish with an elasticated waistband and internal drawcord adjustment; two low-profile zipped hip pockets. Available in short and long leg lengths.
