Description
The Nash ZT Lite Dry Pack Smock is a highly technical and ultra-lightweight waterproof pullover designed for the serious angler. It is a no-compromise garment built for efficiency, providing excellent protection from the elements while being incredibly easy to pack and carry.
Core Features and Design Philosophy
The design of the ZT Lite Dry Pack Smock focuses on a simple, effective pullover style that minimizes weight and bulk. It is part of Nash’s “Dry Pack” range, which is characterized by its ability to fold down into its own pocket for compact storage. This makes it an ideal “throw-over” garment that you can stash in a rucksack or even a large jacket pocket, ready for a sudden downpour or unexpected spray from a boat.
The smock is built with a fully tape-seamed, 2-ply fabric that strikes a balance between waterproofness and breathability. This is crucial for active fishing, as it prevents you from getting clammy and overheated, even during high-energy activities like casting or walking.
Key Features
- Ultralight & Packaway: The smock’s main selling point is its incredible portability. It is designed to be ultra-lightweight and can be packed away neatly into one of its own pockets, taking up minimal space in your kit.
- High Waterproof Rating: With a 15,000mm hydrostatic head, the smock offers a high level of waterproof protection, capable of withstanding heavy and prolonged rain.
- High Breathability Rating: The 20,000 m²/24hr breathable rating is equally impressive. This ensures that moisture and heat can escape from the inside, keeping you comfortable during high-activity periods.
- Integrated Mosquito Face Protection: A unique and highly practical feature is the drop-down mosquito face protection panel. This is seamlessly integrated into the hood and can be deployed to keep insects at bay, a major benefit during summer nights or when fishing near still water.
- Adjustable Hood: The hood is size-adjustable, allowing you to tighten it to keep the wind and rain out.
- Secure Pockets: The smock is equipped with two zipped chest hand pockets for secure storage and two large lower patch pockets for easy access to essentials.
- Elasticated Cuffs: Elasticated cuffs on the sleeves provide a snug fit, preventing water from running down your arms and sealing in warmth.
