Advanced Use and Cold-Weather Performance
The key to the Vass 220 Winter Smock is the perfect balance between insulation and maneuverability. The quilted lining provides excellent thermal regulation, making the smock usable during most colder conditions, but is not too bulky or restrictive for active use. For extreme cold, its design allows for comfortable layering underneath.
The signature Vass-Tex 220 material, combined with the pullover smock design and welded seams, creates an exceptionally reliable, continuous waterproof barrier. Unlike zipped jackets, the smock design minimises entry points for wind and water. Practical features like the storm hood with peak adjustment, neoprene cuffs, and the large, protected pouch pocket further enhance its utility for demanding outdoor activities like sea and coarse fishing.
This smock is built for longevity; its fixed waterproof coating means no time or money is wasted on reproofing, and its high durability ensures it remains a professional-grade waterproof garment for years to come.
