Nash ZT Lite Hydra Flex Combat Shorts Camo

The Nash ZT Lite Hydra Flex Combat Shorts in Camo are a premium piece of angling apparel designed for comfort and functionality during hot weather, holidays, and active fishing sessions. Part of Nash’s renowned ZT (Zero Tolerance) range, these shorts are built to withstand the rigours of the bankside while providing a level of comfort that goes far beyond typical outdoor shorts.

Core Features and Design Philosophy

The main focus of the ZT Lite Hydra Flex Combat Shorts is on providing unrestricted movement and all-day comfort in warm conditions. They are made from a high-tech material that is both lightweight and fast-drying, making them ideal for active anglers who are on the move. The “Hydra Flex” name refers to the combination of a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating and a four-way stretch fabric, which together offer a high degree of protection and flexibility. The shorts’ loose cut and soft inner lining further enhance comfort, preventing chafing and ensuring they feel good against the skin.

Key Features

• Four-Way Stretch Material: The use of a polyamide-elastane blend provides a four-way stretch, allowing for a full range of motion. This is particularly beneficial when climbing banks, setting up gear, or simply moving around the swim.
• Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Coating: The DWR coating makes the shorts shower-proof and water-resistant. This means they will shed light rain and splashes, keeping you dry and comfortable.
• UPF 40+ Sun Protection: The fabric offers a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 40+, which is a significant feature for protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays during long days on the bank.
• Moisture-Wicking & Fast-Drying: The material is designed to wick moisture away from the skin, which helps to regulate body temperature and keeps you from feeling clammy. The fast-drying properties are a huge plus, especially if you get caught in a downpour or take a dip in the water.
• Secure & Practical Pocket System: These are “combat” shorts for a reason, featuring a well-thought-out pocket layout. They include two zipped hand pockets for secure storage of essentials like a phone or keys, twin thigh cargo pockets for bulkier items, and rear stash pockets.
• Drawcord Waist: A drawcord waist ensures a secure and adjustable fit for all-day comfort.
• Packaway Design: One of the most convenient features is the ability to pack the shorts away into their own pocket pouch. This compact design takes up very little space in a rucksack or carryall, making them perfect for travelling or for stashing as a spare pair.
• Camo Pattern: The shorts feature a subtle and stylish camo pattern, consistent with Nash’s ZT range, allowing you to blend in with your surroundings on the bank.
