Customer Product Reviews
Like a 5-weight fly rod, this wading jacket has the versatility to excel in a wide range of fishing conditions. It utilizes three layers of waterproof, breathable Dry-Plus? membrane and is seam-sealed to keep you fishing in everything from a shower to a thunderstorm. Articulated sleeves and a durable stretch shell allow total range of motion for casting. Stretch cuffs with hook-and-loop adjustments prevent water from entering the sleeves. Cavernous chest pockets store fly boxes and have fleece handwarmer pockets underneath. Interior zippered security pocket and mesh utility pocket. Full zip front, exterior draft flap and interlocking interior draft flaps with chin guard seal out wind and rain. Fleece-backed collar. Hood with brim and adjustable peripheral drawcord. D-ring clip points under flaps of chest pockets for tool attachment. D-ring clip at center of back for a net. Imported. Sizes: S-3XL. Color: Smoke.

Nice Price & Design, but not waterproof,
August 11, 2009

"Bought this in July 09 for an 8 day Alaska trout fishing trip in August.
Sizing: Seemed slightly large (I am 5'11, 220, but exchanged the usual XL I ordered, for a large, which fit just right (I layered with long underwear, poly t-shirt and medium fleece pull over and a lightly filled patagonia fishing vest, and the fit of the large was still fine and not constricting).
Waterproof membrane: I spent 2.5 consecutive days, 8 hours each, wading and hiking in a light to sometimes medium rain with 10-20 knot winds on various rivers in So. Alaska. The fabric became water soaked then damp on the inside after 2 hours each day. While I didnt feel the water on my skin due to the poly fleece pullover, if someone were to wear a cotton sweatshirt under this jacket in the same wet conditions, I suspect one would be damp. My guess is that the laminate combined with a stretch fabric just doesnt lend itself to keeping water out like a non stretch fabric/laminate"
