Women’s Ice Fishing Gear - DSG Ice Fishing Review

Updated: Nov 25, 2020



 

As a woman it can be difficult to navigate the outdoor clothing industry and find items that suit women the best with maximum functionality, comfort and style! DSG has the entire spectrum covered with optimal features on their ice fish bibs and ice jacket which is tailored for women by women. The key features listed below should assist you in purchasing an adequate ice fishing suit, jacket and other necessary items! However, I highly recommend DSG as it is a small business offering quality over quantity with features that optimize your outdoor experience more than ever. DSG is an awesome outdoor community network to be apart of and you will get the most out of your fishing experiences when equipped with DSG gear!

 

Floating Technology & Insulating Warmth:

Insulating warmth and floating technology are necessary features to be included in ice fishing outerwear for comfortability and safety. DSG Fish for women includes FLOTEX floating technology with an additional 170 grams of insulation. Flotex floatation assist system will keep you on the water for up to 2 hours in an emergency situation. The cold weather coveralls include 100% taped seams and the front bib has a snap wind flap closure to prevent any cool drafts from breaching your bibs. The warmth and floating factors in my DSG suit helps me steer clear of fear since my safety and comfort are first priorities! Another note is that it is an exceptionally warm suit so you do not need to layer as much as you would need to for a cheaper product. I am able to wear my DSG Fish hoodie with a pair of Under Armor shirts and pants with only the bibs & without the need of the jacket. However, during colder temperatures and times of slow to no movement, the ice jacket keeps you plenty toasty!


Durability:

It is vital to have a durable and breathable material for versatility and longevity. The DSG offers a polyester shell that is waterproof which is an obvious necessary feature to keep you dry during long hours of fishing fun! Heavy duty knee pads are also a MUST HAVE feature including a waterproof breathable coating on the outer layer of fabric. DSG offers this especially if you kneel a lot and if you do not, their nifty internal knee pads are also removable!






Adaptability:

Every good pair of bibs should have some adaptable features to accommodate different body types and DSG does just that and more! The DSG bibs include adjustable side waist tabs and criss-cross suspenders for additional support. The ice fishing bib pants offer an adjustable inseam from 32.5’’ to 28.5’’ to accommodate your specific body needs. There is an interior boot gaiter to keep out snow and slush and ensure your toes and feet are dry and toasty! The option for venting is another factor to consider! DSG offers zippered vents underneath both arms for extra air flow on those warmer days! Last but not least, the drop seat bibs with zippers allow for maximum functionality for women without having to remove any top layers!



Extra Extra - Read All About It!

DSG includes a microfiber hand towel which is removable for convenient washing. Exterior cargo pockets that are fleece-lined with different modes of entry. There is reflective piping on the front and back if you plan on doing any nighttime ice fishing! Another convenient feature included is 2 large D-rings located at the waist to clip any gear such as your snips for easy access while fishing! Accessories that are vital are gloves or mittens. DSG mittens are by far the best I have ever experienced with a waterproof material, thick insulation and a strong magnet to hold the mitten back for comfort and control! They also have a zipper to add hand warmers for extra warmth on those crisp days!






 

DSG #DoingSomethingGreat goes above and beyond with their outerwear. I could not be more well prepared with my DSG ice fishing bibs, ice jacket, mittens, snow hat, and hoodie! The suit comes in one color with a light blue accent. The jacket comes in a gray color or  black/aqua jacket as well! I hope the key features I provided help alleviate some of the stress of researching what items are necessary to ice fish including the best products on the market! If anyone has any questions regarding any of the information provided, specific questions about DSG gear, or ice fishing, please do not hesitate to reach out! I have included my contact information as well as the link to purchase DSG Ice Fish outerwear for women below!

 

DSG even helps you feel like you could FLY! #DSG #DoingSomethingGreat
