Primaloft Jacket

This insulated Primaloft jacket is made to keep your warm, even when you're wet. Unlike down, which loses insulating properties when wet, PrimaLoft's® patented microfiber technology repels water droplets so you retain heat and energy to stay warm in wet weather. The lightweight, breathable Primaloft jacket packs down to stuff right into its own pockets. A DWR finish repels water. Dolphin skin jacket cuffs lock out water to keep you dry when handling fish. Insulated jacket has reverse coil zippers with front slash pockets. Jacket in moss, navy. Nylon shell, PrimaLoft fill. Washable. Imported.Primaloft jacket sizes: M(38-40), L(42-44), XL(46-48), XXL(50-52).

Great jacket, June 16, 2009
By: SFOOrvisShopper from San Francisco, CA

"Got it this morning at work and it fits very nicely. Plenty of room and I really like the jacket cuffs: No doubt in my mind about how well they'll keep the water out.

Buying this jacket on sale right now was a great thing too. The only downsides to this jacket are:

1) Lack of interior pockets, aside from the single one that the jacket is supposed to stuff itself into

2) the collar could be lined with soft fleece of some sort rather than just being left with the nylon material of the jacket lining.

Other than that, great. The sleeve length is right for a large, as I've got a 34" sleeve length, a common problem with jackets of this sort."

Excellent Jacket for Fly Fishing, January 29, 2009
By: AvidFlyFisherman from Atlanta, Georgia

"I bought this jacket as a Christmas present to myself and went flyfishing immediately. I was amazed at how it kept me warm and dry. This is the best jacket I have ever bought and worth every cent. Now I plan to buy the matching vest. Its not bulky when you have your fly fishing vest and waders on. Very comfortable! Way to go Orvis!"

"Very light yet very warm and easy to pack. Roll it up and carry it in the back of your vest, ready to pull out and put on if the wind comes up."
