WS Light

Introduction
WS Light is a short to medium-length waterproof and breathable fishing jacket.
Excellent for wading.

The family of WS jackets consists of 3 different short/medium length jackets.
As the name suggests, each with their own specific user in mind.

a. WS Light
b. WS Rough (followed by a version number – eg. 7)
c. WS Pro

Our design priority with WS Light is to limit weight without compromising the service life, waterproofness and functionality.
The Taslan polyamide shell fabric is same we have been used for more than 20 years. The outer fabric is coated with our System Fabric membrane making it 100% Guaranteed waterproof and breathable.

So how did it get lighter:
Firstly by using a much lighter fabric on places where the heavier exterior is not essential. Places like: Pockets, hood and collar.
Secondly by limiting the use of pleats and ”layer upon layer”.
Without compromising waterproofness and durability WS Light weighs 20% less than the two other short jacket family members.

In order to balance expectations we feel it is also important to mention the compromise that comes with lightness. It can be limited to one thing:
The pocket design. WS Light is not the perfect match if you are insisting on huge layers of storage. To get the most out of lightness – you need to adjust with a similarly light and suitable content.

These are the thoughts – a word from the designer:
Above all, WS Light feels light and hardly restricts my freedom of movement.
It’s the closest I get to the lightness I normally only experience with a light rain jacket.
In order to stay light and utilize the jacket’s full potential, I have adapt with the Geoff Anderson WizTool magnets and tools as well as a narrow and proportioned storage. By adapting the content I am not only limiting weight but also improving the overall functionality.

WS Light has a balanced weight versus performance we haven’t achieved before.
Popularly speaking, WS Light is a “bulldozer in disguise”.

I never consider the weather nor the physical challenge ahead. That’s the beauty of a lighter shell that has all the qualities of the “old heavier gear”.
In pursuit of improving our environmental impact, I have had a particular focus on four “design-list-priorities”:

1. Make it last longer
2. Quality/service life before price
3. Prepare a “second life solution”
4. Make it easy to repair

WS Light is the result of the finest craftsmanship from both seamstresses and engineers. We are a large family of specialists who have done our very best to ensure that your investment makes sense in every context.

We care for you and nature: 
WS Light is a strong and long lasting jacket and the choice of materials will make sure it will outlive most other light jackets.
We believe that a long product life is the best we can do for the environment – and you can help us by following care instructions for your jacket.
All loose parts are Oeko Tex certificated and have the highest quality to achieve the highest possible durability.
As part of the overall design, we have prepared that repairs can be made easy and in many cases also locally.
When the jacket’s service life ends, we have an “after-life plan” ready. New life solution. We want to do our best so that the jacket ends not in the trash, but all the parts of the jacket which can be reused will be reused.
