Team Vass 350 Winter Lined Waterproof Smock - Black/Yellow
Frequently Asked Questions
The smock has been 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 warmer environments where lightweight, breathable clothing would be more suitable.
The Vass-Tex 350 material provides a hydrostatic-head rating of up to 50,000mm and is 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 help improve comfort.
No. The medium-weight padded lining provides warmth and promotes internal air circulation while supporting improved movement. The heavy-duty outer material also remains supple and flexible, making the smock less restrictive than many traditional heavy-duty winter garments.
The smock includes external hand pockets and a separate front pouch pocket. The pouch pocket is protected by a fold-over storm flap with a Velcro fastening to help shield its contents from wet weather.
The storm hood folds into the collar when it is not required and includes a clear peak, which can be trimmed off if preferred. A Velcro-fastening neck and storm-guard flap provides additional protection, while an elasticated drawcord with toggles allows the lower hem to be tightened.
Yes. The smock is manufactured from easy-repair Vass-Tex 350 material and is machine washable, although it should be drip dried inside out. It is also completely metal free to prevent parts from corroding during use. This product is now discontinued and has been replaced by the Team Vass 350 Winter Lined Waterproof Smock Edition 2.
