NASH ZT Wind Chill Hoody

Product highlights

Designed for anglers facing wind and cold at the water's edge, the NASH ZT Wind Chill Hoody is a technical hooded sweatshirt conceived as a true thermal mid layer. Its purpose is to block cold air while retaining the heat generated by your body, allowing you to stay focused on fishing rather than the weather. Thanks to its blend of comfort, protection and style, it is equally at home during long night sessions as it is on quick outings.

Its regular cut fits most body types and makes layering easy over a T‑shirt or under a jacket. The thick jersey outer fabric gives a soft yet durable feel, ideal for heavy use at lakesides or riversides.

Technical features

• Mid layer specifically developed for fishing in cold, windy conditions.
• Regular fit offering a balance between freedom of movement and heat retention.
• Laminated windproof inner membrane to minimize heat loss from gusts.
• Pixel Fleece lining — soft and insulating for excellent thermal retention and lasting comfort.
• High collar and sculpted hood with press‑stud closure system to effectively protect the neck area, particularly sensitive to cold.
• Outer fabric in thick cotton/polyester jersey for a good compromise between warmth, breathability and abrasion resistance.
• Ribbed cuffs and hem to limit drafts and keep the garment in place.
• Compatible with other garments from the Wind Chill collection to create a complete layering system.

Benefits and key strengths

The main asset of this thermal fishing garment lies in its ability to deliver windproof protection usually reserved for outer layers while maintaining the flexibility and comfort of a hooded sweatshirt. The internal membrane works as a genuine shield against wind, reducing chills when you remain motionless behind your rods for long hours.

The elongated collar and specially profiled hood greatly reduce heat loss around the neck and head — two key areas for maintaining stable body temperature. Fastening the press‑studs wraps the upper body in a protective cocoon without compromising your field of vision or freedom of movement.

As a technical mid layer, this hoody is also highly versatile. It can be worn alone during transitional seasons or combined with a waterproof jacket in winter. Its considered cut avoids bulky layers under a coat while leaving enough room to cast, walk the banks or handle tackle.

Usage advice

To get the best from the NASH ZT Wind Chill Hoody, integrate it into a three‑layer system: a breathable base layer next to the skin, this hoody as the mid layer, and an external protective jacket if conditions become wet or very cold. This setup helps evacuate sweat while trapping heat.

On cool nights or during autumn and winter sessions, close the collar and hood to limit drafts, especially when seated or lying in your bedchair. During more active phases (baiting, moving gear), open the collar slightly to regulate temperature and avoid overheating.

This sweatshirt is also suitable for other outdoor activities such as light hiking, camping or boating, making it a versatile outdoor garment to keep on hand throughout the cold season. Available in various versions within the range, it easily fits your usual waterside style.

FAQ

Question 1: Can this sweatshirt be worn as the only outer layer?

Answer: Yes — in dry, cool conditions it can be used alone as a thermal fishing garment. However, in very cold or wet conditions it is best paired with a protective jacket for optimal insulation.

Question 2: Is it suitable for prolonged use at the water's edge?

Answer: Its windproof membrane, fleece lining and comfortable cut have been designed for long sessions. It remains comfortable to wear even when you spend many hours motionless behind your rods.

Question 3: How should it be cared for to preserve performance?

Answer: Follow the manufacturer's care instructions, typically machine wash at low temperature with a mild detergent and no fabric softener to preserve the membrane's efficiency and the lining's softness.
