Garbolino Microfibre Trousers | 80’s Anniversary Series | Black
Retro Vibes, Modern Comfort: The Ultimate Bankside Leisure Wear
Celebrate a legacy of angling excellence with the Garbolino 80’s Anniversary Microfibre Trousers. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we know that comfort on the bank is just as important as the tackle in your hands. These trousers are designed for the angler who wants a lightweight, breathable option that looks just as good at the weigh-in as it does during a quick social at the local.
Crafted from ultra-lightweight microfibre, these trousers offer unparalleled freedom of movement—essential for shipping back a pole, casting a feeder, or navigating a steep bank. The “80s Series” aesthetic brings a touch of nostalgia with sleek black styling and the iconic 80s logo positioned at the knee and lower leg. With fitted hems to prevent them from dragging in the mud and two secure zip pockets for your keys or phone, they are as practical as they are stylish.

Where to Wear the 80’s Series Microfibre Trousers
These are more than just “fishing pants”; they are built for versatility:
-
Summer Match Sessions: The breathable fabric keeps you cool during those long, hot July afternoons on the commercial circuit.
-
Mid-Season Travel: Perfect for the drive to the venue or a weekend fishing trip where you want a comfortable, non-restrictive “jogger” feel.
-
The “Social” Angler: Great for casual sessions where you’re moving around a lot and don’t want the weight of heavy waterproofs or thick combat trousers.
-
Casting & Active Fishing: Because they offer “great freedom of movement,” they won’t pinch or bind when you’re repeatedly casting or getting up and down from your seat box.
💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip
“Microfibre is the king of quick-drying fabrics. If you happen to catch a light summer shower or get a bit of spray while landing a fish, don’t sweat it—these will dry out in no time while you’re wearing them. To keep the 80s logos looking sharp, I always recommend washing them inside out on a cool cycle and avoiding the tumble dryer. They’re so light they’ll air-dry in the time it takes to pack your kit away!”
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, these are designed to be ultra-lightweight and breathable. While the microfibre fabric can handle a tiny bit of mist or spray, they are not intended for heavy rain. They are the perfect “fair weather” choice for summer and autumn.
How do the sizes run?
These are designed for comfort and freedom of movement, so they have a relaxed but functional fit. With sizes ranging from S to 4XL, there is an option for every frame.
Do the pockets have zips?
Yes! Both side pockets are fitted with high-quality zips, which is a must-have on the bank to ensure your phone, car keys, or permits don’t slide out while you’re sitting on your box or unhooking a fish.
What are ‘Fitted Hems’?
The bottom of the legs features an elasticated/fitted design. This is a game-changer for anglers as it keeps the trousers from sliding over your shoes and soaking up water or mud from the ground.
