Whether you're chasing Olympic Peninsula chrome or reaching for stripers beyond the break, sometimes you simply have to jump in and go deep. This ultra-lightweight jacket is cut above the waist for serious wading. Its minimalist design has all you need from a waterproof/breathable fishing shell (and nothing more). In addition to a full-visibility hood, reversed StretchCoat cuffs and roomy, zippered fly box pockets, it now features fleece-lined handwarmer pockets. Made from a tough 2.5-layer ripstop nylon with a waterproof/breathable H2No barrier. Our shortest fishing jacket, the Deep Wading also has a relaxed fit to accommodate layers and a loaded vest.

Material

2.5-layer H2No shell fabrics are waterproof, windproof, breathable and highly packable. They combine a water-repellent shell fabric with our H2No waterproof barrier and a raised pattern on the inside, instead of the full-coverage interior scrim used in 3-layer fabrics. The raised pattern makes 2.5-layer fabric packages lighter and more compressible while still protecting the waterproof barrier.

Technology

H2No is Patagonia's standard for 100% waterproof and breathable protection in our shell garments. H2No is created by adding a waterproof and breathable laminate or coating to a high performance protective fabric. This fabric package blocks wind and water on the outside while allowing water vapor generated by your body to escape – keeping you warm, dry and comfortable.
