PATAGONIA GUIDEWATER JACKET (MEN'S)

The Men's Guidewater Jacket by Patagonia is their full-featured, technical fishing jacket which provides waterproof/breathable performance with a pocket system engineered to keep contents stable, secure and accessible. 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 inches longer than the Deep Wading Jacket).
