Vass Team Vass 230 Winter Bib & Brace w/Knee

Description

The Team Vass 230 Winter Lined Bib and Brace is a waterproof, insulated garment built for anglers who want to keep fishing through the colder months. It uses Vass-Tex 230 fabric with Permanent Waterproof Fabric Coating Technology, meaning the waterproofing is built into the fabric itself rather than applied as a surface finish that washes out over time. There is no reproofing required, no fading performance, and no PTFE chemical run-off returning to the water. The winter lining traps heat while the outer stays light and flexible, so movement is not restricted when wading, casting or walking the bank. The outer sheds water rather than absorbing it, so the garment dries quickly between sessions. RDT (Rapid Dissipate Technology) pushes internal body moisture out to keep you dry from the inside during long, active sessions. Fully welded seams eliminate needle holes and leak points, and the wipe-clean, salt-water-resistant surface suits estuary and boat use. - Genuinely waterproof, not just water-resistant — 20,000mm Hydrostatic Head rating keeps out driving rain and wading splashback, without depending on a finish that degrades in the wash. - Warm without the weight — the winter lining traps heat, but the outer stays light and flexible, so you're not wading, casting or walking the bank like the Michelin Man. - Dries fast between sessions — the Vass-Tex 230 outer sheds water rather than soaking it up, so it's ready to go again for your next trip, not still damp on the radiator three days later. - RDT (Rapid Dissipate Technology) — pushes internal body moisture out, so you stay dry from the inside as well as the outside during long, active sessions. - Built to last — fully welded seams (no needle holes, no leak points) and a wipe-clean, salt-water-resistant surface that shrugs off estuary and boat use. - Better for the environment — no PTFE repellent chemicals leaching into the rivers, lakes and coastline we all fish. Where you'll use it: - Winter river and canal bank sessions — the insulated lining and windproof shell make long, static sessions (carp, pike, barbel) genuinely bearable in sub-zero conditions. - Sea and shore fishing — salt-water-resistant fabric and a wipe-clean surface handle spray, wet sand and boat decks without deteriorating. - Boat and kayak fishing — waterproof and windproof protection where you've nowhere to shelter from spray or driving rain. - Wading — quick-drying outer means you're not carrying extra weight in soaked fabric if you take on water. - Match and pleasure fishing in changeable weather — light and flexible enough to fish in comfortably, but ready the second the weather turns. It pairs with the matching Team Vass 230 Winter Lined Smock or Jacket for a complete waterproof system. This is a year-round garment rather than a once-a-year one. It is designed to be comfortable and warm across most conditions you'll actually fish in — layer up underneath on the coldest days and you have one garment that works from autumn through to spring.
