Preston DF Ultra 25K Jacket

Description

The Preston Innovations DF Ultra 25K Jacket is built for extreme weather, offering serious protection against heavy rain, biting winds and wet bankside conditions. The advanced 3-layer technical fabric carries a 25,000mm hydrostatic head rating, so you stay dry through long sessions on the seatbox. A high-neck collar, internal neoprene cuffs and a fully adjustable storm hood with a stiffened peak close off every entry point against driving rain and wind, giving match and coarse anglers uncompromised comfort in the worst conditions. - Waterproof Rating: 25,000mm Hydrostatic Head - Breathability Rating: 5,000g/m²/24hr - Fabric Construction: Premium 3-layer waterproof matrix - Outer Treatment: Teflon EcoElite™ Durable Water Repellent (DWR) - Zips and Fastenings: YKK VISLON® zips with protective storm flaps - Cuff System: Internal neoprene cuffs with Velcro wrist adjusters - Hood Design: Waterproof hood with stiffened peak and Velcro tensioning - Seams and Collar: High protective neck collar and fully taped seams throughout - 25,000mm Waterproof Protection: the high-spec 3-layer material shields against heavy rain, driving gales and constant water contact when netting fish and shipping poles. - Teflon EcoElite™ DWR Finish: an advanced hydrophobic surface treatment forces water to bead and roll off instantly, keeping the outer fabric light and un-waterlogged. - High Protective Neck Collar: the extended high collar shields your chin and neck from cold drafts and driving rain, even when the hood is down. - Neoprene Wrist Cuffs: soft internal neoprene cuffs form a snug seal around your wrists, stopping water run-off from sliding down your arms when holding rod butts or unshipping pole sections. - Storm-Proof Hood: a stiffened peak keeps rain out of your eyes, combined with multiple Velcro adjustment points for a snug fit that stays securely in place during high winds. Ideal for extreme weather match sessions, where it gives total top-half protection for sitting out all-day winter and autumn downpours on seatboxes or side trays. The high breathability and ergonomic sleeve tailoring also suit active bankside fishing, allowing unrestricted casting, baiting and pole handling. It pairs with the DF Ultra 25K Bib and Brace or Trousers to form a heavy-duty, waterproof suit. For maximum wrist protection when shipping pole sections or landing fish in heavy rain, adjust the outer sleeve Velcro tabs tightly over your neoprene cuffs. The combination of neoprene against your skin and a tight outer sleeve creates a double barrier that prevents water trickling down your arms when elevating pole sections or lifting landing nets into your swim. The structured neck collar maintains its shape, so it keeps protecting your neck from wind and driving rain even when you lower the main zip slightly for ventilation. With a 5,000g/m²/24hr breathability rating, the jacket lets internal body heat and moisture vapour escape, keeping you dry and comfortable when pushing barrows or walking long distances to your peg. To preserve the 25,000mm membrane and Teflon EcoElite™ DWR coating, remove dried mud with a soft damp brush. When machine washing, use a dedicated technical garment wash rather than standard household detergents, and avoid fabric softeners.
