Our story

Born on the water

Desolve started with a simple idea: gear that keeps up when conditions turn, without slowing you down.

We design for anglers, boaties, and anyone who lives outdoors. Every piece is built around quick-dry warmth, durable fabrics, and details that matter on a long day, not just in a studio.

From Thermocline layers to offshore shells, we test in real salt, wind, and sun. That’s how we know it works when you’re out there.

“Gear that actually performs when the weather doesn’t play ball.”

Fabric & technology

Thermocline & performance materials

Lightweight warmth that dries fast and moves with you, engineered for fishing and outdoor days.

Thermocline

Quick-dry thermal layer that traps warmth without bulk. Ideal under shells or on its own in mild conditions.

UV rapid-dry

UPF-rated tops that wick moisture and dry fast between casts and runs.

Offshore shells

Wind- and spray-resistant jackets built for long days on the boat.

Reinforced wear points

Abrasion-resistant panels where gear meets rails, lines, and deck.

Responsible materials

Recycled and lower-impact fabrics where performance allows.

Beyond tested

Proven in real conditions

We don’t stop at lab specs, every range is worn, washed, and pushed in the environments you fish in.

01

Field testing

Crew and ambassadors run gear through salt spray, sun, and long sessions before it ships.

02

Durability

Stitching, zips, and fabrics checked for repeated wear, not just a single season.

Smaller footprint

Responsible sourcing and packaging choices that align with our sustainability promise.

“I've gone through a few ‘waterproof’ jackets the IronLoft is the first that actually keeps the rain out. Warm, comfortable, and handled four seasons in one fishing day.”

Josh

“These are exactly the pants I've been wanting super comfortable for everyday wear, brilliant under my waders, and feel built for wet wading once the weather warms up.”

Desolve sustainability promise on the water

Our commitment

Sustainability promise

Finding our wild, using the smallest footprint possible. From the coatings on our shells to the fibres in our technical tops.

PFC-free durable water repellent on Desolve rainwear

Materials

PFC-free durable water repellent

DWR helps water bead off our jackets and waders and keeps dirt from soaking in. Many industry coatings rely on perfluorinated compounds that can persist in waterways and pose serious health risks. We moved away from the high-performing C8 standard because the environmental cost was too high.

After extensive research, we use a planet-safe DWR that eliminates PFCs, PFOAs, and PFOSs from our rainwear. Our jackets and waders have always used PFC-free DWR, even when it costs more to do the right thing.

REPREVE recycled plastic bottle fabrics used in Desolve apparel

Materials

Recycled plastic bottles

Since 2019, we have partnered with Unifi and REPREVE to make technical fishing fabrics from recycled plastic bottles. Used bottles are collected, cleaned, shredded, and transformed into fibres, then knitted into the performance fabrics in our gear.

RPET uses 54% fewer emissions to produce than virgin polyester, gives plastic a second life, and helps keep rubbish out of our waterways, forests, and landfills. We also replaced plastic garment wrapping with a biodegradable card wrap.

Help & sizing

Common questions about Desolve fishing clothing, sizing, warranties and care. Performance outerwear, UV base layers and waders available at Burnsco.

What is Desolve fishing apparel?
Desolve Supply Co. is a New Zealand performance fishing brand stocked at Burnsco. Their range includes UV rapid dry shirts, waterproof jackets, breathable and neoprene waders, mid layers and technical accessories built for saltwater and freshwater missions in changing weather.
How do I find the right Desolve size?
Desolve size charts list garment measurements, not body measurements. Lay the item flat and compare half chest and back length on tops, or waist, hip and inseam on pants and waders. Use the Size guide tab on this page for Beaufort Pro, Fathom, Elevate, Ripline and more. Size up if you plan bulky mid layers underneath jackets or hoodies.
What warranty does Desolve fishing gear include?
Desolve offers a 1 year warranty on manufacturer faults: free repair or replacement. Their lifetime extended warranty covers technical kit damaged in use, such as tears, punctures or zip damage, with repair for a small fee where possible. Keep proof of purchase. If you bought from Burnsco, contact us with photos and your order details for warranty help.
Can I return or exchange Desolve if the size is wrong?
For Desolve bought online from Burnsco, use our returns process for unworn items in brand new condition with swing tags attached. We refund or exchange once the product is received. Shipping charges are not refunded unless we sent the wrong item. Allow extra time for size swaps during peak season and sale periods. Wrong colour or style sent by us: contact Burnsco and we will sort it.
Which Desolve UV fishing shirt should I choose?
Helios hooded shirts suit spring through autumn with rapid wicking, UPF 30+ and an integrated face shield plus thumbholes. SolarDry hooded shirts target hot conditions with UPF 50+ and active cooling. CoolFlex hooded shirts add UPF 50+ with a sewn in neck gaiter for long dock and boat days. Compare fabrics and features on Desolve's choosing a base layer guide.
How should I layer Desolve for fishing in different seasons?
Desolve builds layers to work as a system: base layers wick moisture next to skin, mid layers move heat and add warmth, insulation blocks wind, and outer shells shed rain while staying breathable. Vents and zips align across pieces so you can dump heat quickly. See saltwater and freshwater season charts on Desolve's integrated layering system page.
Which Desolve jacket is best for rain, wind and cold?
Fathom jackets and matching bibs are fully waterproof for heavy rain and storm fishing. Tempest jackets suit cold wind and light rain with a fleece bonded shell. Beaufort Pro and Elevate focus on breathability and mobility for active days. IronLoft adds premium insulation for colder missions. Read Desolve's choosing an outer layer guide to match your conditions.
Should I choose Desolve breathable or neoprene waders?
Breathable waders such as Drift and Rise suit warmer stalks, long walks and all day comfort with high breathability. Neoprene waders such as Infinity, Rapid and Surge keep you warm in cold rivers with 3.5 to 5 mm neoprene and rugged boots. Desolve also offers wader and boot combos. Compare both types on their breathable wader and neoprene wader guides.
How do I wash and care for Desolve waterproof gear?
Hand wash waterproof and breathable garments in cold water with a technical wash suitable for DWR fabrics. Dirt and salt reduce waterproofing and breathability, so clean gear after hard sessions. Reproof when water stops beading. Avoid fabric softener and high heat drying. Full Burnsco tips are in the Product care tab on this page. Always follow the care label on your garment.
Is Desolve a sustainable fishing clothing brand?
Desolve works toward recycled fibres including REPREVE, reduced packaging, PFC free DWR where applicable, and durable construction so gear lasts longer. Their Leave Only Trails Fund supports coastal clean ups, riparian planting and conservation projects. Learn more on their sustainability promise, our processes, our materials and Leave Only Trails Fund pages.
