NASH ZT Lite Dry Pack Jacket

Product highlights

The NASH ZT Lite Dry Pack Jacket is a fishing waterproof jacket designed to go anywhere without weighing you down. Built for traveling anglers and water-activity enthusiasts, it delivers effective protection against light rain, sudden downpours and water spray, while remaining surprisingly light and compact. Keep it within easy reach in your bag or luggage and pull it on in seconds when the sky closes in.

Thanks to its technical construction, this lightweight, breathable rain jacket reduces clamminess even when you’re very active on the boat, along the bank or moving between spots. The balance between waterproofing and breathability has been specially engineered to keep you dry while expelling moisture generated by exertion.

Another major advantage is that the jacket packs into its own pocket to form a minimal bundle that slips easily into a tackle bag, backpack or even a large garment pocket. Internal shoulder straps allow you to wear it comfortably over your shoulders when the rain eases, without having to stow it immediately. This versatility makes it ideal for both quick sessions and longer outings.

Technical specifications

• Adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs to block water ingress and adapt to different technical base layers.

Benefits and key strengths

The primary advantage of this jacket is its ability to provide genuine waterproof protection while remaining very discreet in weight and volume. You can keep it with you at all times, even on trips where every gram counts. Once deployed, it forms an effective barrier against the elements and sea spray.

Its level of breathability makes it a particularly comfortable rain jacket for active anglers. When you walk to a spot, handle rods or maneuver the boat, excess heat and moisture are better removed, reducing the stifling feeling often experienced with conventional waterproof jackets.

The retractable mesh panel in the hood is a valuable feature in summer or marshy areas. It protects the face from mosquitoes and other insects while maintaining good visibility to monitor your lines and surroundings. This function enhances comfort during long sessions by keeping distractions to a minimum.

Finally, the internal shoulder straps and the ability to fold into its own pocket make the jacket extremely easy to manage. When the sun returns, you can carry it over your shoulders or stow it in seconds without wasting time or space.

Usage advice

Keep the NASH ZT Lite Dry Pack Jacket easily accessible in your tackle bag, backpack or near your fishing spot so you can deploy it quickly at the first sign of rain. Put it on over your usual layers, adjusting the hood and cuffs to limit water entry.

Use the integrated mesh panel when fishing in the evening, at night or near very wet areas where insects are abundant. Fold it away into the hood when insects are less of an issue to maintain clear visibility.

After each use—especially after exposure to spray or rain—allow the jacket to air dry before packing it into its pocket. Avoid storing it damp in a closed bag to preserve the fabric’s breathability and the durability of the waterproofing.

For care, follow standard technical waterproof garment recommendations: gentle washing, appropriate products and thorough rinsing to maintain the performance of your packable rain jacket for a long time.
