Nash Waterproof Trousers

Nash Waterproof Trousers

Designed to pair perfectly with the Nash Waterproof Jacket, these trousers offer the same uncompromising protection against the elements while ensuring total freedom of movement on the bank. Featuring a soft-touch, matte finish that is exceptionally quiet, they eliminate the distracting noise associated with traditional waterproof gear. With a focus on durability, comfort, and intelligent storage, the Nash Waterproof Trousers are an essential addition to your wet-weather kit.

Pro Tips for Your Session

• Seamless Integration: When worn with the Nash Waterproof Jacket, these trousers create a complete “sealed” system, perfect for the most challenging winter conditions.

• Boot Access: The waterproof zips at the ankles are specifically designed to allow you to pull these trousers on over your boots quickly. If you’re hit by a sudden downpour, you won’t need to take your footwear off to get protected.

• Layering: The soft, quiet outer layer is loose enough to accommodate thermal base layers or heavy-duty joggers underneath, making them ideal for the full range of UK temperatures from autumn through to spring.

Where to Use

• Persistent Rain: The robust DWR coating and taped zips make these a primary choice for long-stay sessions where you are exposed to the elements for multiple days.

• Stalking & Mobile Angling: Because they are silent and soft, they are perfect for stalkers who need to move quietly through undergrowth without announcing their presence with loud, rustling fabric.

• General Bankside Utility: Whether you’re setting up a bivvy, hauling gear, or moving swims, these trousers offer the durability needed to handle abrasive surfaces and mud.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Are they truly silent?

A: Yes. The matte finish and soft-shell styling are engineered specifically to remove the “crinkle” noise, making them far quieter than standard heavy-duty waterproof trousers.

Q: Can I reach my regular trouser pockets while wearing these?

A: Absolutely. One of the best features is the “pass-through” openings with reverse waterproof zips, which allow you to access the pockets of the trousers you are wearing underneath without having to pull your waterproofs down.

Q: How do I clean and maintain them?

A: To keep the water-repellent performance at its peak, wash occasionally with technical fabric cleaners designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using standard biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating and affect the breathability of the fabric.
