NASH ZT Polar Fleece Hoody

Product highlights

The NASH ZT Polar Fleece is a fishing polar fleece jacket designed as a technical midlayer to deliver maximum warmth without sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement. Its thick long-pile fleece fabric traps warm air around the body and creates an effective barrier against the cold, whether you're on an overnight peg, doing a quick session after work or moving around your spot. Thanks to its hoody-style cut with hood, this NASH fishing fleece efficiently protects the head, neck and upper torso when temperatures drop.

This garment has been developed for anglers who spend long hours by the water. The high collar protects the throat from wind, while the large kangaroo front pocket lets you keep your hands warm between casts. A central zipped pocket, protected by a flap, secures small valuables such as keys, phone or fishing documents. Elasticated cuffs and an adjustable hem with drawcord limit cold air ingress and help retain warmth inside the ZT Polar Fleece midlayer.

Advantages and key strengths

The NASH ZT Polar Fleece stands out for its ability to maintain steady warmth even during long periods of inactivity, typical of carp fishing or static techniques. The long-pile fleece construction offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, allowing you to stay mobile for baiting, casting or handling the rod without feeling bulky. The soft lining enhances overall comfort whether you wear just a technical T-shirt or multiple layers underneath.

The fishing-oriented design keeps essential small gear or personal items close at hand without multiplying bags and pouches. Elasticated finishes at the cuffs and waist prevent heat loss and reduce the risk of snagging on equipment. Combined with a waterproof jacket and a technical base layer, this technical fishing fleece becomes the core of an effective three-layer system to face cold and wet conditions.

Usage advice

Use the NASH ZT Polar Fleece as a midlayer for fishing between a breathable base layer and a windproof or waterproof outer jacket. This setup allows perspiration to escape while retaining heat, ideal for chilly nights, misty mornings or full days on the bivvy. Adjust the waist drawcord and position the cuffs correctly to minimize drafts.

To prolong the life of your thermal fishing garment, follow the manufacturer's care instructions: machine wash at low temperature, use detergents suitable for technical textiles and air dry. Avoid excessive heat when drying to preserve the loft of the fleece fiber. Store the fleece in a dry place between sessions to maintain its insulating properties.
