Where connection meets the current

For Bri, fly fishing is about more than time on the water. It is a way to stay curious, build community and reconnect with nature. Through her organization Confluence Collective, she is helping create more inclusive outdoor spaces while exploring how comfort, movement and reliable gear can support every experience outside.

From the field

“Fishing is about observation — we need to be resilient, and we need to be flexible. So putting on something and observing how it works towards a function is what I’m doing anyway.”

“Having something that is light and flexible is really helpful, specially when you’re casting”

Wear testing

On the water with ThermaStretch™

Over years of fishing in Montana, Bri has learned that the best gear is the gear you forget you're wearing. During wear testing, a jacket insulated with PrimaLoft® ThermaStretch™ became the layer she reached for when the forecast was uncertain and the day could lead anywhere.
