Geoff Anderson
Geoff Anderson WS Basis Black is a mid-short waterproof and breathable fishing jacket designed to provide reliable weather protection, durability and freedom of movement. It is particularly suitable for fly fishing, wading and spinning, while its high-waisted cut also makes it comfortable for boat fishing.
The WS range, short for Water Shield, was developed in 1998 with the aim of creating a jacket capable of handling demanding weather conditions. The Basis is the entry-level model in the family: a more straightforward and accessible option that retains the essential waterproof, breathable and durable qualities of the WS range.
Its streamlined construction removes some of the additional details found on more advanced models, while maintaining the quality of the materials and the practical features anglers need. The result is a lightweight, durable and versatile jacket for those looking for proven Geoff Anderson performance in a simpler design.
The outer Taslan polyamide fabric, refined and tested over many years, is combined with the System Fabric membrane to provide waterproof and breathable protection. The jacket features taped seams, a long-lasting DWR water-repellent finish and an inner lining designed to improve airflow. The stated hydrostatic head rating is over 10,000 mm.
The hood can be rolled away when not needed. It is separate from the collar, features a sun peak and can be adjusted with one hand. The collar is lined with soft Rentex® microfleece, while the main YKK® AquaGuard® zip is designed to provide protection against the elements.
Storage includes two front chest pockets with Velcro® top closures, an internal Napoleon pocket with YKK® zip, an internal stretch mesh pocket and a large rear pocket with zip. An adjustable waist with snap system and close-fitting cuffs complete the practical design.
Made with 100% recycled polyester and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified fabrics and components, the WS Basis also reflects Geoff Anderson's commitment to more responsible product design. It includes the NextLife deposit programme, which allows the jacket to be considered for a second life when it can no longer withstand the weather or is severely damaged.

The Geoff Anderson WS Basis Black is a dependable, functional fishing jacket for anglers who need waterproof protection, breathability and freedom of movement without unnecessary extras.
