NASH ZT Smock Waterproof Jacket

Product highlights

Designed for demanding anglers, the NASH ZT fishing smock delivers reliable protection against rain, wind and cold while remaining lightweight and comfortable. Its anorak-style half-zip design limits air and water ingress, and the waterproof fishing jacket is easy to pull on over thermal layers. Built for long days by the water, it lets you stay focused on fishing without worrying about the weather.

Thanks to its very thick fleece lining across the body and sleeves, this technical garment stores heat and provides a cocoon-like feel even during cool nights or prolonged showers. The laminated outer fabric effectively shields against the elements while keeping a firm, pleasant hand—ideal for heavy use at carp venues, lakes or rivers.

Benefits and key features

This warm, waterproof fishing garment has been designed to meet the practical needs of modern carp anglers. The combination of a durable outer shell and a highly insulating lining limits heat loss while preserving freedom of movement for casting, hooking and netting fish. Well-positioned pockets keep backup gear within easy reach without hindering technical movements.

The integrated carry system is a major advantage: once folded into its pocket, the NASH fishing smock can be worn like a small backpack, freeing the hands to carry the rest of your kit. This modularity makes it an ideal companion for quick sessions, evening bites or stealthy approaches on large waters. The snug hood and neoprene cuffs provide extra protection when the weather suddenly deteriorates.

Usage advice

To get the best from this technical fishing jacket, wear it over a breathable base layer and add thermal layers as needed for the season. Adjust the half-zip and high collar according to your exertion level to better manage perspiration and body temperature. The side zips allow you to slightly open the lower part of the garment when sitting on a bed chair or seat, preventing fabric strain.

Fold the smock into its integrated pocket when the rain stops or during moves between pegs. This greatly eases transport and keeps the garment clean from mud. For care, choose a gentle low-temperature wash with a detergent suitable for technical garments, then air-dry. Periodic reproofing with a product designed for waterproof fabrics will help maintain the membrane’s performance over time.
