Frequently Asked Questions
How small does the jacket pack down?
The jacket compresses down into its own pocket, forming a small, lightweight pouch that easily slides into carryall pockets, rucksacks, or seatbox drawers.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The 380T recycled fabric shell is designed primarily for windproofing and light shower resistance; it is best paired with a dedicated waterproof outer shell during heavy, prolonged rainfall.
How does the 60gsm insulation perform compared to heavier coats?
The 60gsm thermal padding strikes an optimal balance for active anglers, trapping core body warmth while remaining thin enough to prevent overheating during active bankside tasks or walking long distances.
