Eskimo Men’sNorth Shore Pants: The 'Hoodie For Your Legs' Every Ice Angler Needs

In the world of ice fishing, innovation can sometimes seem scarce, especially when it comes to clothing. We're familiar with the essentials – the crucial outwear with flotation abilities like jackets and bibs that shield anglers from the ferocious bite of winter, and the ever-important base layers that keep us warm from within. But what about that middle layer? The piece of attire that fits snugly between the warmth of base layers and the protection of outwear?

Enter Eskimo's North Shore Pants. A unique innovation that might just become every ice angler's best-kept secret. If we were to put it in the simplest terms, think of them as a "hoodie for your legs."

Why North Shore Pants?

A casual observer might mistake them for a stylish pair of pants perfect for everyday wear during the cooler seasons. And they wouldn't be wrong. These pants are as fitting for a day out on the ice as they are for an evening at the lodge, reminiscing and sharing tales of the day's catch.

But it's their utility that truly sets them apart.

For those anglers who prefer the coziness of a wheelhouse, you might consider leaving your bulky bibs behind. The North Shore Pants give you that layer of comfort and warmth, without feeling too stifling or restrictive. On the other hand, if you're the adventurous type who enjoys hole hopping, you'll appreciate the technical fit of these pants – they move seamlessly with you, regardless of whether you're wearing bibs or not.

Filling the Gap

Eskimo embarked on a mission to bridge a gap in the ice angler's wardrobe. The North Shore Pants fill a role that didn't have a category, but their presence feels ever so essential now that they're here. They fit perfectly over or without a base layer, and under or without the bibs, providing a layer of versatility that many didn't know they needed, until now.

While the ice fishing realm might be slow to evolve, innovations like Eskimo's North Shore Pants show that there's always room for creativity and improvement. So, as you prepare for your next ice fishing expedition, don't forget to pack your "hoodie for your legs." Because sometimes, it's the middle layer that makes all the difference.
