Dont leave home without this,
October 21, 2012
By: RIKEB
from Hull Yorkshire. England
"I have been after a lightweight but effective fishing jacket for some while given I always seem to caught out by them typical down pours in the Autumn, I went to my local store in Yorkshire to try the jacket and it instantly felt right, my wife said it was far to good for fly fishing but hey ho... Tried the jacket whilst walking the dog and you can tell this is made from quality materials designed to keep the wind and rain out, the dolphin skin cuff system is brilliant and will stop water seeping up your arms when releasing fish. cant wait to try this out with rod in hand.
Yet again well done Orrvis."

Will The Salmon Like It?,
October 16, 2012
By: Anonymous
"I like it, but, will the salmon like it? This jacket is an unobtrusive barrier against the elements, namely, the cold, wind, and rain. It is light and easy to unfold in the northern rivers of Quebec whose weather changes as often as my flies do. Thank you"

Great rain jacket and well made,
September 19, 2012
By: MattL
from Winooski, VT
"I'll start off by saying I wish the jacket was longer. That being said, I know the length doesn't matter while in waders, but I sometimes like to fish from shore only. The D ring and pockets are a nice addition, I love being able to store gear inside the jacket to avoid them getting wet as opposed to my vest or my sling back that gets soaked in the rain. I give it 4 stars because the buttons are all plastic, and it seems a bit short. Overall it is a quality jacket and I look forward to putting it to good use!"

Packable rainjacket,
September 16, 2012
By: sjorich
from Pacific NW
"Lightweight that can be easily packed around in my vest. works good as winbreaker and raincoat. front pockets are good and high for us deep wading steelheaders.
Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that it could be shorter length for us deep wading steelheaders"

By: Muddler33
from St. Louis, Missouri
"The product had a good fit and is well made. I had returned it because it was too light weight for my needs. I was looking for somthing that would also work as a winter fishing jacket. Spend a lot of time in the winter months fishing catch & release."

rain jacket,
June 19, 2012
By: locomo
from Northern Michigan
"Fished on the Boardman yesterday in what started as a mist and ended in a full scale rain event. Slipped on the new wader jacket prior to entering the river and glad I did. The only thing wet was an inch on the brim of my cap. The extended hood even kept my glasses dry. Sold on Orvis so far."

"The chest pockets are too cumbersome to access.
I do not trust the plastic closure buttons to last.
Will have to return this item."

Great Quality,
January 17, 2012
By: JC1090
from Connecticut
"I love the quality of the jacket. The only problem is the fit is wrong around the waist. It fit slightly big in the arm length and wrist, but I couldn't zip it up. I am waiting for a size bigger, but now my arm and wrist area will be even bigger, and I am hoping the waist will fit and I can zip it up."

Too lightweight,
December 30, 2011
By: txdad2002
from Houston, TX
"I know this is a packable wading jacket, but it is too light weight for the price. It is no heavier than a rain jacket that I paid less than ten dollars for. I'll stick with the cheap rain jacket."

"Have had other jackets, but this one is just right. Other jackets had zipper problems, that made it hard to use in the field. This jacket is a dream to use in the field, best one I ever had, at a great price."

August 23, 2011

"good lightweight jacket with plenty of room for layering.
unfortunately the first article did not live up to the Orvis name as the stitching at the right cuff came apart so that the arm could not be cinched. this was after only two weeks of wear in relatively light, non-rugged usage. Orvis being Orvis made it an easy exchange and so far after one wearing there seems to b no issue"
