This wading jacket features a brand new membrane designed to provide waterproofing that is three times more durable than previous generations. This is a strong argument for any angler who spends long hours exposed to the weather, seawater spray, or river water splashes: the protection lasts over time, even after multiple sessions and washings, without losing its efficiency over the seasons.
The 3-layer fabric that makes up this jacket provides strength and breathability, two essential qualities to stay dry from the outside while evacuating the perspiration produced by effort. Its stretchability in two directions significantly changes the game on the ground: casting, netting, overcoming obstacles, or moving in fast water are all done without feeling the slightest resistance from the garment, a comfort that is especially noticeable on the most active days.
The new water-repellent treatment applied to this jacket improves the way water beads and slides on the fabric, rather than gradually seeping in. This treatment also stands out for its increased durability, often a decisive factor since it is generally the water-repellent effect that fades first on wading jackets, long before the membrane itself shows signs of weakness.
YKK AquaGuard® zippers ensure enhanced waterproofing at the jacket's most sensitive points. This technology, recognized in the technical outdoor clothing industry, prevents water from seeping through the zippers while maintaining a smooth and reliable slide, even after intensive use in wet conditions.
The jacket features a convenient chest pocket for storing accessories that you want to keep at immediate reach, such as pliers or a fly box. Two side pockets complete this storage system, each with an internal stretch mesh lining that forms an additional internal pocket. This configuration allows you to separate wet material from dry, or simply multiply the storage spaces without cluttering the outside of the jacket.
Neoprene cuffs at the wrists provide a watertight seal around the arm, preventing water from moving up the sleeve during the most committed fishing phases, especially when you have to plunge your arm into the water to unhook a fish or retrieve a snagged lure.
The hood, equipped with an adjustable visor in three dimensions, allows you to precisely adapt the protection according to the weather conditions and the fisherman's morphology. This fine adjustment ensures a clear field of vision even with the hood up, an essential detail when you need to stay alert to your line or your environment while protecting yourself from rain or wind.
In summary, this wading jacket combines long-lasting waterproofing, breathability, freedom of movement, and intelligent storage to serenely face all the conditions encountered by the water's edge.
