How it is used here
Using a sun like this on Tennessee water
Comfort gear is what keeps you fishing when the weather turns, which in Tennessee is often: 95 degrees on a boat deck in July, 50 degree water in the tailwaters year round, and sun off the water all day. A cooler, sun protection and the right footwear are the difference between a six hour day and a two hour one.
The tailwaters are the special case. The Clinch, South Holston, Watauga and Caney Fork are cold in every month, so waders and a wading belt are safety gear there, not comfort gear.
