Preston Innovations DF Ultra 25K Waterproof Bib & Brace

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Performance

• 25,000mm Hydrostatic Head: Offers industry-leading waterproofing to keep you completely dry during sustained torrential downpours and driving gales.
• Teflon EcoElite™ DWR Finish: Advanced surface treatment that forces rain to bead and shed immediately, preventing fabric saturation and keeping the garment lightweight.
• Full Core Protection: The bib & brace design eliminates lower back exposure when bending, casting, or shipping out pole sections, keeping cold drafts and water completely out.
• Targeted Reinforcement: High-wear seat and knee areas are heavily reinforced to resist friction against seatbox cushions, footplates, gravel, and timber platforms.
• Adjustable Ergonomics: Fitted with wide elasticated shoulder straps and Velcro leg fasteners to ensure a non-slip, customized fit over boots and bulky thermal mid-layers.

Ideal Applications

• Extreme Winter & Storm Fishing: Uncompromised chest-to-ankle protection for long, cold match sessions in heavy rain and wind.
• Active Seatbox & Pole Work: Prevents lower back drafts and water entry when constantly shipping pole sections or reaching for landing nets.
• Heavy Bankside Usage: Reinforced knee panels make kneeling on wet grass, gravel, or wooden platforms completely worry-free.

Pro Tip

Layering & Membrane Care: Pair this Bib & Brace with high-wicking thermal base layers and fleece mid-layers to maximize the 5,000g/m² breathability membrane in cold conditions. When storing after a wet session, hang the garment in a warm, dry room to air dry thoroughly—never store it damp or folded tight in a carryall bag, as trapped dampness can degrade seam tapes over time. Clean only with specialized technical fabric wash to maintain the Teflon EcoElite™ coating.
