Team Vass 350 Winter Lined Waterproof Smock Edition 2

Description

The Team Vass 350 Winter Lined Waterproof Smock Edition 2 from VASS is built for anglers who need maximum protection in severe conditions. Often described as a modern sports oil skin, the smock is designed for prolonged exposure to extreme weather, prioritising waterproofing and durability above all else. This range is developed for the most demanding fishing environments, including sea boat and shore angling, predator fishing, and match fishing. It is made from Vass-Tex 350, a heavy-duty material that stays supple and flexible, making it easier to wear and less restrictive than other heavy-duty rainwear. The medium weight inner lining is not bulky, leaving room for layering in extreme cold while supporting good movement. One key point to note is breathability. The extreme waterproofness of the Vass-Tex 350 material, rated up to 50,000mm Hydrostatic Head, means the garment is not breathable. It suits anglers who put protection ahead of breathability in cold, windy, and wet conditions, though internal moisture-wicking properties help improve comfort. The Edition 2 model brings several updates based on angler feedback. The Vass Raglan Sleeve Design improves casting by allowing extra shoulder movement, while the wider neck area makes it easier to layer hoodies or other mid-layers underneath. Protection is enhanced with neoprene adjustable cuffs, a re-designed storm hood with cord adjustment, and a higher chin guard against wind and spray. - Material and Protection: Vass-Tex 350 heavy-duty material, extremely durable and flexible. - Waterproof Rating: 50,000mm Hydrostatic Head Rating (extremely waterproof and windproof, but not breathable). - Seams: Tough Vass Quad Welded Seams for ultimate waterproofing. - Zips and Flaps: Double front storm flap covering the YKK zip. - Lining: Medium weight inner lining for warmth and improved movement. - Cuffs and Sleeves: Neoprene cuffs with adjustable strap; Vass Raglan Sleeve Design. - Hood and Neck: Re-designed storm hood with cord adjustment; wider neck; higher chin guard. - Storage Pockets: External left and right pockets, external left and right vertical lower pockets with storm flaps, internal left and right chest pockets. - Base: Adjustable elasticated draw-cord with toggles on lower hem (draft excluder). - Maintenance: Easy repair Vass-Tex 350 material, internal zip for invisible repair, machine washable (waterproofing does not fade). - Environmental: No chemical or PTFE repellent finish outer used. - Colour: Titanium Grey/Black.
