Title: New Rain Proof fishing Jacket. Any Ideas?
Post by: Big Steel on June 20, 2007, 07:23:05 PM

So I am starting my search for a New Fishing Jacket.  I have a nice one, thanks X, but it isn't rain proof, so I am thinking that I should have one for those rainy days.  Any ideas?  Price is also a factor. ::) ;D

Thanks. :)

 Trophy makes a decent one for around $100 at Hatch Matcher's. I got one and got to try it out during that rain storm in March that flooded my house and I was bone dry. It also has good sized pockets. All I need when out fly fishing in the fall.

2nd that one...and yes they're not cheap...but the jacket is just so light and durable when fishing...you don't even know its there! and when one wheres one....they look like a duck in the water! I love my SST jacket...and it was well worth every dime I paid for it!

Hey Dave...Forget the expensive jacket and spend just $10 for a sweet alternative ;D ;D

As soon as my Orvis wears out, I'm going to the Simms G3.  I have the waders and would fish naked before I fish with anything else.
