ORVIS - Ultralight Wading Jacket

A great wading jacket is an important part of your gear, but traditionally these jackets are heavy and bulky. The Ultralight Jacket offers all the features of a guide-class wading jacket. But it packs down to about the size of a water bottle and can easily fit into a sling pack or vest. Wear it when you need it, pack it when you don’t. As part of the Ultralight Wading System, it’s the ultimate in versatility.
Let’s take a look at the features.
Constructed from a 3-layer waterproof/breathable nylon fabric, it has a 20K waterproof rating and 30K breathability rating, one of the best on the water.
Every seam is fully taped for true waterproof performance.
A Durable Water Repellent finish makes rain bead up and roll off the surface.
The shell fabric is also built with 2-way stretch for double-haul articulation.
YKK AquaGuard zippers keep the elements out.
The three-way adjustable storm hood allows for a custom fit when the weather gets harsh.
Two vertical storage pockets and two side-zip pockets are lined with our 4-way stretch power-mesh, allowing for increased storage, cross ventilation, and easy access to gear.
An internal power mesh pocket conforms to load and offers additional storage.
Plus, there are two conveniently located rubberized tabs for tool docking.
An integrated cuff system seals out water when landing and releasing fish.
A fully adjustable hem helps lock out weather.
Finally, a D-ring on the back holds your net.
Not only is this a great wading jacket, but when packed with the Ultralight Boots and Waders they take up less than one cubic foot of luggage space, and weigh less than six pounds. That’s a huge benefit when traveling, not to mention a lot less weight to carry on the water.
