{"product_id":"black-bear-polar","title":"Black Bear - Fleece","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black Bear Wild Fish Stories fleece was created from a simple premise – we wanted a very thick insulating layer that would keep us warm in the field. The first version was made from the thickest fleece available in Poland, but it quickly became clear that thickness alone doesn't solve the problem when it's windy. That's why we lined it with a lightweight windproof fabric that wicks moisture through channels and allows it to breathe while stopping the wind. Only then did we create the fleece we were looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is the Black Bear fishing fleece for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who need a fleece as a thick insulating layer – for cold mornings, long waits by the water, boating, the forest, and the city.
