- Reflective printed logos on leg (for safety when fishing at night)

- Vass quad welded seams
- Velcro fastening ankle strap
- Ultra Light weight
- Warm padded inner lining (not bulky to ensure maximum movement)

Tips to keep your Vass kit in top health!
- If garment is dirty/smelly on the inside, wash inside out
- Do Not Wash at temperatures over 40 C
- Drip dry inside out for quickest drying time
- Do Not use detergents containing Chlorine or bleach
- Vass-Tex coating is a fixed performance coating & doesn’t need reproofing.
- As with all clothing, do not leave exposed to prolonged direct sun light (UV) when not in use (I.E On Washing Line). Doing so may damage the performance & strength of your clothing.
- To repair accidental punctures and tears to the material, please see repair instructions on website or catalogue.
