Preston Innovations Softshell Jacket

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Performance

• Shower-Resistant Outer Shell: Bounces off morning dew, light rain, and bankside spray while blocking cold drafts from cutting through your chest.
• Warm Inner Lining: Soft inner layer traps core body heat, offering immediate insulation on crisp mornings without adding heavy, bulky weight.
• Unrestricted Bankside Movement: Flexible four-way stretch fabric allows total freedom of motion when casting feeders, shipping pole sections, or loading barrows.
• Comfort-Tailored Design: Features a non-restrictive cut around the shoulders and arms, ensuring the back and sleeves do not ride up when seated on your box.
• Cross-Over Bankwear Style: Subtle, modern design makes it just as practical and stylish away from the venue as it is on the fishery peg.

Ideal Applications

• Autumn & Spring Fishing: The ideal primary outer jacket for dry, breezy, or damp days when a full heavy-duty waterproof is too warm.
• Deep Winter Mid-Layering: Wear underneath a DF Ultra 25K jacket or bib & brace for an extra layer of wind-proof insulation on sub-zero match days.
• Active Bankside Roving: Lightweight and breathable enough for walking long stretches of river or canal without overheating.

Pro Tip

Sleeve & Cuff Layering: When using the Softshell Jacket as a winter mid-layer, pull the softshell cuffs snugly over your base layer before sliding your outer waterproof jacket on top. Tightening your outer jacket’s cuff straps over the softshell wrist prevents cold air and water run-off from creeping up your forearms when holding rod butts or elevating pole sections into the wind.
