9. Baffin Men’s Base Layer Top & Pants 
MSRP: CDN $54.99 each
Until recent years we thought of Baffin as a footwear company, but they make some of the best layering clothes we’ve tested. From keeping you comfortable on balmy days to warm in the dead of winter when dropping lures through the ice, these are a great addition to the Alaskan angling wardrobe. What we like best is the weight of the material; it fits snug, but has plenty of stretch, is anti-microbial and is high-quality. We love their mid-layers too, as they don’t absorb dog hair!
