Since its inception in the 1980s, Preston Innovations has had one goal in mind when it is producing its tackle, to provide quality products that are designed with a purpose. Preston has over 30 years of experience in producing fishing tackle and equipment, and its success is down to the brand’s dedication to following and listening to the leading match anglers to then learn and incorporate the techniques and methods that work into the products. Because of this dedication and listening to real angler’s needs, Preston is one step ahead of other leading fishing tackle providers.
Every product created has come from a gap in the market that Preston has experienced on the bank. Preston Innovations then takes the new product and prototypes it, testing it till it meets its exacting standards before the product is put up for sale. So, when you use a product designed by Preston you are guaranteeing you’ll be ahead of the competition. In real terms, this helps you to land more catches.
This Preston suit from the DF30 range consists of a waterproof jacket and bib ‘n’ brace to make match and coarse fishing enjoyable even in the heaviest of UK downpours. The suit makes sure you stay sheltered, warm and dry in the cooler evenings to the not-stop rain days at the lake. Made with coarse anglers in mind, this DR30 helps to keep the cold spots at bay with its multitude of impressive features.
Both the jacket and salopettes have the ability to withstand the extreme weather conditions thanks to the set being made of a clothing fabric that could hold a column of water that is 20,000 mm tall according to its 20,000mm hydrostatic head rating. This measurement of how water-resistant the clothing means that anglers will stay completely dry when being splashed by feisty fish.
In addition to being waterproof, the fabric of the suit is also incredibly breathable. The 3000 g/m breathable material, allows 3kg of moisture vapour to be transmitted through a square metre of the fabric within a 24 hours window. This means through the day, you remain incredibly cool and dry inside the jacket, as the heat of the sun or the perspiration from maximum movement when rushing to pick up that landing net will be released through the fabric, without compromising its impermeable advantages. This jacket lets moisture out, not in. This means the suit is very comfortable to fish in as it is not sticking to your skin, producing a confined feeling when you need great movability.
The jacket of the suit features reinforced shoulders for better protection when carrying luggage full of tackle, whilst the high neckline keeps heat in and the chilly breeze out. The Preston DF30 jacket also features neoprene cuffs and a stiffened peak hood that can both be adjusted to your wrist and head size to ensure breeze is kept out. The jacket also includes three water-tight zipped pockets for storing the essential tackle accessories.
Likewise, the bib and brace feature this blue zip on the front from the top of the chest to the waist to allow for ease of access. whether you need to quickly pop them off when nature calls or you need to quickly dress when the bite alarms sound during the night. This zip is fully waterproof and its coloured blue so you can easily find the closure against the black and grey fabric. There is also internal storm flaps found on both of the items under the waterproof zip that helps keep water at bay.
Both pieces of clothing also feature reinforced patching in key areas for longevity and comfort. Comfort can be tailored according to your measurement thanks to the range of sizes available. Select from the medium, large, XL and XXL.
For a waterproof suit that is functional and stylish, offering maximum protection from the elements, look no further than the Preston DF30 jacket and bib & brace.
