Preston DF Ultra 25K Trousers

Description

The Preston Innovations DF Ultra 25K Trousers are built for anglers who fish through heavy rain and harsh bankside conditions. The three-layer fabric carries a 25,000mm hydrostatic head rating, so the trousers stay waterproof through torrential downpours while remaining breathable enough to wear on the move. Reinforced high-wear zones, a Teflon EcoElite DWR coating and fully taped seams add durability and keep waterproof performance going over the long term, making these a practical choice for match and coarse anglers. - Waterproof Rating: 25,000mm Hydrostatic Head - Breathability Rating: 5,000g/m²/24hr - Fabric Construction: 3-Layer heavy-duty waterproof matrix - Outer Coating: Teflon EcoElite Durable Water Repellent (DWR) - Seam Construction: High-quality fully taped seams throughout - Reinforcements: Heavy-duty knee and seat panels - Waist and Ankle Fit: Elasticated waist with Velcro ankle fasteners - 25,000mm Extreme Waterproofing: Built using high-spec 3-layer material that prevents water penetration under extreme rain pressure and driving winds. - Teflon EcoElite DWR Coating: Causes surface water to bead up and roll off instantly, preventing the outer fabric from becoming waterlogged and maintaining light overall weight. - Reinforced Seat and Knee Panels: Targeted high-durability panels protect key wear points from abrasion against seatbox cushions, rough ground, and briars. - 5,000g/m² Breathability: Allows body heat and internal moisture to escape, preventing sweat buildup when hauling barrows or walking long distances to your peg. - Velcro Adjustable Ankle Fasteners: Allows you to cinch the leg cuffs tightly around your boots or waders to stop water run-off and mud from creeping upward. Ideal for torrential match sessions, where they offer protection when sitting outdoors through all-day downpours on seatboxes or side trays. The reinforced panels also suit rough bank conditions, such as kneeling on gravel, timber platforms or wet grass while netting fish and prepping bait. As an all-season wet weather system, they slip over base-layer thermals in deep winter or pair with a light shirt during wet summer sessions. DWR Fabric Care: never wash technical 25K outerwear with standard household detergents or fabric softeners, as they break down the Teflon EcoElite DWR coating and clog the breathable membrane. Clean off dried mud with a soft damp brush, and when machine washing is necessary, use a specialised technical garment wash. Periodically heat-reactivate or reapply the DWR coating to ensure water continues to bead off the surface effortlessly. Are these trousers fully waterproof or just water-resistant? With a 25,000mm hydrostatic head rating and fully taped seams, these trousers are 100% waterproof and designed specifically to keep you completely dry in torrential rain and heavy downpours. Can I wear these trousers over thermal joggers or base layers? Yes. They feature an elasticated waistband and an ergonomic cut, allowing ample room to comfortably wear thermal base layers or joggers underneath during winter sessions. How do the Velcro ankle fasteners help on the bank? The Velcro adjustments allow you to tighten the lower leg around your footwear, preventing rain run-off from getting inside your boots and keeping the trouser hem from dragging through bankside mud.
