Preston Innovations Duratech Hybrid Jacket

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Performance

• Body-Mapped Hybrid Layout: Concentrates thermal fill over the chest and back to keep your vital organs warm while keeping sleeves slim and unrestrictive.
• Softshell Arm Flexibility: Flexible softshell sleeves eliminate bulk and fabric tension around the shoulders and elbows, allowing full range of motion for fast-paced fishing.
• Integrated Softshell Hood: Lightweight hood provides instant protection against sudden cold drafts and light drizzle without impeding lateral vision.
• Heat-Retaining Cuffs: Elasticated wrist seals lock in warm air and prevent cold drafts from creeping up your arms when reaching for landing nets or handling tackle.
• Versatile All-Season Weight: Low overall weight ensures you stay warm without feeling weighed down during long walking stints or active match sessions.

Ideal Applications

• Active Match & Coarse Fishing: Ideal for anglers who need maximum shoulder mobility for shipping pole sections or high-frequency casting.
• Mid-Season Bankwear: The ultimate outer layer for crisp autumn mornings and cool spring days where core warmth is essential but a full winter jacket is too bulky.
• Extreme Cold Layering: Wear underneath a waterproof outer shell (such as a DF Ultra 25K jacket) to create an insulated winter clothing system.

Pro Tip

Maximizing Core Warmth: When using the DuraTech Hybrid Jacket as a winter mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell, zip the hybrid jacket up fully to pull the low-profile softshell hood tight against your neck. This creates a soft neck gaiter seal that stops cold air from dropping down your back inside your outer jacket while keeping your core thoroughly insulated.
