NASH ZT Wind Chill Hoody Varsity Sweatshirt

Product highlights

Designed by NASH for demanding anglers, the ZT Wind Chill Hoody Varsity is a technical fishing hooded sweatshirt for cold weather that offers an ideal balance of warmth, comfort and freedom of movement. Used as a mid layer, it keeps you operational at the peg even when the wind picks up and temperatures drop.

Its thick brushed inner jersey fabric provides an immediate feeling of softness and warmth while remaining breathable enough to handle repeated movements around your station, bivvy or shoreline. The regular fit guarantees natural ease whether worn alone or layered over other technical garments.

Technical features

• Main fabric in heavy jersey fleece, a cotton and synthetic fiber blend for comfort and durability.
• Laminated windproof inner membrane to limit heat loss during prolonged gusts by the lake or river.
• Pixel Fleece inner lining for improved thermal retention and a particularly pleasant feel against the skin.
• Designed as a mid layer to be worn under a waterproof jacket or over a lightweight base layer.
• Shaped, enveloping hood for effective protection of the head and neck against cold wind.
• High snood-style collar with snap closure to cover the lower face when conditions turn harsher.
• Raised-effect ZT chest logo adding an aesthetic touch while recalling the range's technical DNA.
• Perfect compatibility with matching joggers and other garments from the Wind Chill collection to create a coherent, high-performance outfit.

Benefits and key strengths

The main advantage of this windproof fishing hoody lies in its ability to offer thermal protection comparable to an outer layer while retaining the comfort of a sweatshirt. The combination of a windproof membrane and Pixel Fleece lining creates an effective barrier against the cold without weighing the silhouette down.

On long sessions, at night or in winter, this thermal garment for carp anglers reduces the penetrating cold often felt at the water's edge. Even when sitting for long hours behind your rods, warmth is better retained around the torso, shoulders and neck — key areas for overall comfort.

The regular cut offers true versatility: snug enough to retain heat, yet roomy enough to accept additional layers underneath if needed. This design makes it a relevant choice for carp fishing, predator fishing or any outdoor activity where you remain exposed to the elements.

Usage advice

To get the most from the NASH ZT Wind Chill Hoody Varsity, use it as a technical mid layer in a layering system. Wear a breathable t-shirt or a thermal base layer close to the skin, then the hoody, and finish with a waterproof, windproof outer jacket if necessary.

During early-morning approaches, boat crossings or setup phases in the wind, close the snood collar with the snap buttons and adjust the hood to limit any ingress of cold air. When activity increases or the temperature rises, open the collar and the hoody's main closure to promote moisture evacuation.

Outside of sessions, this warm hooded sweatshirt for fishing and leisure also works well for everyday wear, whether en route to watersides or during outdoor activities. To preserve its performance, follow the manufacturer's care instructions, notably avoiding excessively high wash temperatures and harsh products that could damage the inner membrane.
