PATAGONIA GUIDEWATER JACKET

The Guidewater Jacket by Patagonia is their full-featured, technical fishing jacket that provides waterproof/breathable performance with a pocket system engineered to keep even the most gear-intensive anglers organized. Pounding into the teeth of a nor'easter or swinging tips through the deluge - the Guidewater keeps you fishing comfortably long after other anglers have headed for the barn. Patagonia combined their best knowledge of fabrics, design and technology to create a full-featured, highly technical piece of angling equipment.

Waterproof/breathable 3-layer stretch nylon, along with a 2" longer cut, make this the shell of choice for skiff, bay boat and jet sled guides. Although the design ethic is minimalist, ergonomically placed pockets and custom-engineered "fish pulls" (which vastly improve waterproof reverse-coil zipper function) put everything you need at your fingertips. In other words, you can retire your vest. The tuck-away hood won't flap in the wind, and the brushed-fleece lined collar provides decadent comfort.

More fishing-specific details: glued-in waterproof zippers, drain holes in hem and pockets, attachment patch, forceps/glasses loop, modified reversed StretchCoat cuffs, rod holder.

The Guidewater is Patagonia's longest fishing jacket (4 1/4" longer than the Deep Wading Jacket).
