JACKETS
Simms G3 Guide Wading Jacket
(Dom)
Modern wading jackets aren’t just raincoats. They are purpose built outerwear, built for fishing. We wear the G3 daily, not just when it rains, because a great wading jacket blocks wind, and it blocks splashes from heavy wading and rain. Wading jackets are a key piece of gear for comfortable fishing, no matter the weather.
Skwala Carbon Wading Jacket
(Dom)
There are two kinds of wading jackets: a lightweight/packable coat, or a jacket you don’t mind wearing all day. The Carbon is the best lightweight raincoat on the market. Weighing just one pound, it easily rolls up and stores in your pack or vest. But, remarkably, it has great structure, key fishing features and holds its form. The Carbon is both kinds of wading jackets in one.
Simms Bulkley Insulated Wading Jacket
(Dom)
Super warm, windproof and totally waterproof, with a hood that changes the cold weather game. Major insulation in a wading jacket. This is excellent.

Orvis Ultralight Wading Jacket
(Bill, Trevor)
Another great, super light option for a wading jacket. Packable enough that you don’t mind carrying it, durable and functional, so you enjoy wearing it.
Skwala 3/2 Fusion Puffy
(Dom)
Skwala builds in features that just make sense for fishing. The articulated arms, stretchy cuffs and fitted hood add to the super-warm insulation of this puffy. A more comfortable, flexible and durable outer fabric separates this jacket from the rest.
Orvis Pro Insulated Hoodie
(Dom, Bill, Trevor)
We love this Orvis jacket for an insulating layer or an outer. It’s thin, but extremely warm. So it’s a great layer to stash in a pack or vest, just in case the weather turns. This is a great piece of gear.
