This year’s iceTackle* sees the unveiling of a major collaboration between brands to create a totally new clothing offering.
Leeda’s Wychwood and MAP brands have teamed up with sister brand, Madison Clothing, to work on a whole range of angling apparel that combine Madison’s outdoor clothing knowledge with the needs of carp, game and coarse anglers.
Outlined as a collaboration based around an in-depth understanding of trends, materials and the angling market, there will be a wide range of outerwear items that are previewed at the event being held April 1st – 3rd.
All garments launching this year will be on display for iceTackle* visitors, and attendees will also be able to talk to Chris Vandrill, Madison’s senior clothing designer, who’s led the project alongside Leeda’ team of brand managers.
For the carp sector there will be a range of ‘stash’ suits in carpy colours – notably olive green and camo – plus insulated versions that are scheduled to arrive for Winter ‘25/26. MAP will be showcasing its salopettes and pole jacket designs, in a lighter lined design and an Primaloft insulated Winter option. There will also be the opportunity to see prototypes of the game clothing that is to launch in 2026.
With garments arriving in stock during Summer 2025, this is a great opportunity for visiting retailers to familiarise themselves with the clothing range and the technologies and materials employed, plus any pre-orders will receive exclusive show discounts.
