While on my annual salar hunt , I discovered that what I planned to use as a wading jacket was not very waterproof at all . While the jacket that I was wearing was extremely windproof and had some nice pockets for XL fly boxes and a great hood , it failed miserably keeping the rain out .
I don't mind spending some cash , but when I do , I would like the garment to perform .
Some features I am looking for in a wading jacket :
- waterproof
- windproof
- inner waterproof pocket (security)
- easy hood adjustment
- outer pockets for some stuff (not necessarily for fly boxes)
- hand warmer pockets would be nice
- adjustable wrist cuffs (not elastic type)
- some where for a zinger (for clippers)
I was looking at the Patagonia SST and the Simms Guide jackets .
I know Vision use to make some nice stuff too as well as Orvis .
I am really open to suggestions though , what you guys use and any good or bad comments or experiences .
