The wildly popular Orvis Men’s Ultralight Wading Jacket gets a substantial moisture-management upgrade in 2023. We extended the life of the garment’s rain protection by as much three times by incorporating a burlier waterproof, breathable membrane on the inner liner. Think of it as bulk-free, minimalist protection that wards off heavy wind and gnarly rain, yet is perfectly stowable in a small daypack or even the Guide Sling Pack. Two-way stretch, three-layer shell fabric with 20K Waterproofness/20K Breathability rating offers durability and comfort that truly moves with you through a wide range of temperature and environments. Fully taped seams add further weatherproofing. DWR finish (Durable Water Repellent) repels water from the fabric surface. YKK AquaGuard® water-resistant zippers are flexible and easy to slide, yet still keep the elements out. A single front storage pocket and side zip pockets feature power-mesh for breathability, less bulk, and more pocket room when you need it. Integrated neoprene cuffs prevent water from running up the arm when releasing fish or working overhead in camp. Internal power-mesh pocket for added storage. Three-way adjustable storm hood with laminated brim. Featherlight at just 15.8oz with a slightly longer cut than the original.  Nylon with waterproof-breathable,PU lamination. Imported.  Sizes S(34-36), M(38-40), L(42-44), XL(46-48), XXL(50-52).

Here’s a short video clip of our friend, Jim Kershaw, past Orvis Product Design Specialist, going over the features and benefits of the Orvis Ultralight Wading Jacket from 2018. (There has been an update on design features in 2023 but the basics are the same.)

Shop Staff Notes:  The Orvis Men’s Ultralight Wading Jacket is a super comfortable waterproof-breathable rain jacket that packs down nicely so you can actually take it with you. This is a big seller for us as is all the Ultralight fishing series from Orvis has been. (Men’s Ultralight Waders,  Women’s Ultralight Waders, Men’s Ultralight Wading Boot, Women’s Ultralight Wading Boot.).  This jacket is an excellent choice for a packable, summer rain jacket for the hard-core angler, the weekend warrior fly angler who doesn’t need PRO-durability gear or a trout bum whose budget isn’t over $300.

Orvis also came out with another wading jacket for both men and women.  It’s more durable and has a few more features than this Ultralight Wading Jacket. Check them out here:  Orvis Men’s Pro Wading Jacket.  Orvis Women’s Pro Wading Jacket.
