It has four heat settings, up to eight hours of battery life, and even includes the rechargeable battery and charger. I only wish it had heated pockets too because that would make it perfect for thawing out your hands between casts. I struggle to warm up naturally in the cold, and honestly, this is the only thing that works.$229.99. BassPro.com ActionHeat AA Battery-Powered Touch-Screen-Capable Heated Gloves for LadiesEarlier I said I wished the heated jacket had warming pockets—but apparently, that problem’s already solved! These heated gloves are such a game-changer for cold-weather fishing. They warm your hands up to 135°F with strategically placed heating fibers that run on simple AA batteries, giving you up to 4 hours of warmth. The waterproof membrane keeps moisture out, and the cinch cuffs help lock in heat. They even have touchscreen-friendly fingers, so you can still use your phone or fish finder without taking them off. If your hands are always the first thing to get cold, these are absolutely worth it.$41.97 (Regularly $59.99). BassPro.com Huk Women’s Boatyard JacketI love this jacket because it feels like that perfect in-between layer for the chilly, windy months when you don’t quite need a full coat. The semi-cropped cut is super flattering, and the loose fit makes it easy to layer over hoodies or sweaters. The fabric is water-repellent, so it keeps off light rain or spray when you’re out on the boat, and the drawcord hem lets you customize the fit. The hand-warmer pockets are a bonus for cold mornings or sunset hangs by the water. It’s one of those practical, cute jackets you’ll end up wearing way more than you expect.$130.00. HukGear.com Huk Women’s Bayside 1/2 Zip HoodieI feel like this is one of those gifts that looks casual but still feels elevated. The Bayside Hoodie is made from this super soft, spacer knit fabric that feels luxurious without being heavy. It has that semi-cropped, loose fit that looks really flattering whether you pair it with the matching wide leg pants or just throw it on with jeans. It’s the perfect “airport to dock” kind of piece — cozy enough for travel days but still cute enough to wear out for coffee or a casual dinner. If you love that laid-back, coastal vibe, this is the one.$90.00. HukGear.com
