Vass Team Vass 220 Jacket – Grey/Black

The Team Vass 220 Jacket is a highly technical and versatile piece of waterproof outerwear, designed for the serious angler who demands top performance and reliability in the most challenging conditions. It combines the core features of the Vass-Tex 220 range with a classic jacket design, offering a practical and comfortable solution for all-year-round fishing.

Core Specifications and Technology

• Vass-Tex 220 Fabric: The jacket is constructed from the proprietary Vass-Tex 220 material. This fabric provides a permanent, impenetrable barrier against wind and rain, meaning it never needs reproofing to maintain its waterproof integrity. The outer surface is treated with VASS-RDT (Vass Rapid Dissipate Technology), which actively sheds water. This is a key feature that prevents the jacket from becoming saturated and heavy during prolonged exposure to extreme weather, ensuring it remains lightweight and comfortable throughout your session.
• Welded Seams: The jacket is built with welded seams rather than traditional stitching. This process fuses the fabric panels together, creating a perfectly sealed, waterproof bond that is far stronger and more reliable than any stitched seam. This is an essential feature for a jacket intended for saltwater environments, where constant exposure to spray and heavy rain can test a garment to its limits.
• Enhanced Mobility and Comfort: The lightweight, all-way stretch fabric provides an impressive degree of freedom of movement. It feels less restrictive than typical bulky waterproofs, allowing you to cast, climb, and move with minimal effort. Furthermore, the reverse layer of the fabric is designed to rapidly dissipate body moisture, which helps prevent a clammy feeling and keeps you dry and comfortable from the inside out, a huge benefit during active fishing.

Why It’s an Essential for UK Sea Fishing

The Team Vass 220 Jacket is an ideal choice for the dedicated UK angler due to its blend of practicality, durability, and high-performance features, which are perfectly suited to the unpredictable British climate.

• Versatile Design: The classic jacket design with a front zip and storm flap makes it easy to put on and take off, and allows for quick ventilation when needed. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of fishing scenarios, from static beach fishing to mobile lure fishing along the coast.
• Uncompromising Protection: The combination of the permanently waterproof Vass-Tex 220 fabric and the reliable welded seams provides a robust shield against the wind and rain, which are a constant factor on the UK coast. This allows you to stay out on the water for longer and in greater comfort.
• Durability and Environmental Focus: Like the rest of the Vass-Tex 220 range, this jacket is highly durable and machine washable, making it easy to clean and maintain. Its long-lasting waterproof performance and the fact that it contains no harmful chemical PTFE repellent finish makes it a smart, long-term investment that is also environmentally responsible.

In summary, the Team Vass 220 Jacket is a no-compromise piece of gear that offers reliable protection, excellent mobility, and practical features. It’s an intelligent choice for any angler who needs a durable and comfortable jacket to face the elements head-on.
