Overview
Built for demanding days on the water, this jacket is designed to help keep anglers protected when weather turns wet and unsettled. Its XPLORE 2-layer fabric construction and fully taped seams are paired with waterproof and breathable performance, while the XPEL plant-based finish helps resist fish blood and stains for easier cleanup after the trip. The Vortex Hood with 3-way adjustment is made to stay secure at speed, and the high-cut thermal collar adds an extra layer of comfort in colder conditions. In Shadow, size XL, it suits serious fishing use where weather protection and practical cleanup matter.

- The Vortex Hood’s secure, 3-way adjustment is built for active use, but that added adjustability may take a little time to dial in.
