Preston Innovations Navy Tide Zip Hoodie
Stay comfortable and protected against the elements with the Preston Innovations Navy Tide Zip Hoodie. Whether you need a reliable layer for chilly early mornings on the bank, a breathable mid-layer beneath your heavy waterproof winter suit, or casual apparel for packing away gear at the end of a match, this hoodie delivers the perfect blend of warmth, durability, and style.
Designed in a classic, deep navy blue colorway that easily hides bankside grime and groundbait stains, it features a relaxed fit tailored for the active angler. The cut ensures you retain complete freedom of movement when casting, feeding with a catapult, or shipping back a long pole, without the fabric feeling tight or restrictive across the shoulders.
Constructed from heavy-duty, premium-blend fabrics, the Navy Tide Hoodie is built to endure the rigors of frequent angling sessions and regular washing. It features a robust, smooth-gliding full front zip that allows you to easily adjust your temperature as the weather shifts throughout the day. Finished with subtle Preston branding, it looks just as sharp off the bank as it does on it.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Fishing Team
Pro Tip: When you’re fishing in damp or breezy conditions, the snug, ribbed cuffs on the Navy Tide Hoodie are a major asset. They keep your sleeves firmly locked around your wrists, preventing loose fabric from dipping into your groundbait bowl, catching on your seatbox handles, or tangling with your line during a cast.
If the wind picks up, throw this on over a technical base layer and under a lightweight windbreaker to create a highly efficient thermal barrier that keeps your core warm without adding bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this hoodie true to size, or should I order a size up for fishing?
The Preston Navy Tide Zip Hoodie is designed with a relaxed, generous angling fit. It allows you to wear a t-shirt or thermal base layer underneath comfortably without feeling restricted. We recommend ordering your usual clothing size, but if you prefer an exceptionally baggy fit for heavy winter layering, you can safely go up one size.
How well does the fabric hold up against groundbait and fish slime?
Very well. The high-quality fabric blend is chosen specifically for rugged use. The dark navy color is excellent at masking typical bankside dirt, and the material is fully machine washable. It resists bobbling and shrinking, maintaining its shape and soft texture even after repeated washes.
Does it have zipped pockets?
No, this model features traditional, open-front pouch pockets. They are designed for quick, easy access to warm your hands or to temporarily hold items like a disgorger, cloth, or phone while you are actively fishing from your seatbox.
