Team Vass 350 Winter Lined Bib & Brace Edition 5
Expert Reviews
Vass are pleased to introduce the new ‘Edition 5’ design which supersedes the successful ‘Team Vass 350’ Edition 4 winter lined heavy duty waterproof bib & brace. The new ‘Edition 5’ design includes some technical & visual updates and retains the extended back area for improved weather protection (particularly when bending over).
The padded winter lining is very warm and promotes internal air circulation for extra comfort. However, it’s design and flexibility always great freedom of movement therefore not your usual bulky winter wear.
This range has been developed for Sea Fishing (Boat and Shore) to resist the most extreme wind and rain. The Vass-Tex 350 material is heavy duty and tough whilst maintaining a supple and flexible handle.
This ensures that the garments are easy to wear when fishing and less restrictive than most heavy-duty rainwear.
It's important to know that the Vass-Tex 350 ranges are ideally suited for anglers that are usually fishing on the shore or in a boat for long periods during extreme wind and rain. Its waterproofness is very high (up to 50,000mm hydrostatic head rating) therefore is not breathable (although it does have some internal moisture wicking properties to help with comfort).
Therefore, it's not recommended for anglers that require lightweight, breathable garments (with lower waterproofness) for use in warmer or less extreme conditions.
Like all products, it's important to select your equipment and clothing according to your' requirements.
