Team Vass 350 Winter Lined Waterproof Jacket - Black/Yellow
Frequently Asked Questions
The jacket was developed for sea anglers fishing from boats or the shore for long periods in extreme wind and rain. Its heavy-duty construction is intended for demanding conditions rather than lightweight use in warmer weather.
The Vass-Tex 350 material provides a hydrostatic-head rating of up to 50,000mm and is described as extremely waterproof and windproof. Due to this very high level of waterproof protection, the garment is not breathable, although it has some internal moisture-wicking properties to improve comfort.
No. Although it is a heavy-duty winter garment, the material remains supple and unusually flexible. Its medium-weight lining is designed to provide warmth while allowing improved movement compared with many traditional heavy-duty winter jackets.
The full-length YKK front zip is covered by a double storm flap with a gutter. This creates an additional barrier against wind and rain entering through the front of the jacket.
The jacket includes external hand pockets protected by fold-over storm flaps. It also has internal left- and right-hand chest pockets for storing personal belongings and smaller fishing accessories.
The storm hood folds away into the collar when it is not required. It includes a clear peak to provide additional weather protection while helping the wearer maintain visibility, and the peak can be trimmed off if it is not needed.
Yes. The jacket has an elasticated drawcord with toggles around the waist hem, allowing the wearer to tighten the lower section for a closer and more secure fit.
Yes. The jacket is machine washable and should be drip dried inside out. It is manufactured from easy-repair Vass-Tex 350 material, with repair guidance available on the Vass-Tex website.
