Menns Clearwater Vadingsjakke

Finally got caught in an honest-to-goodness downpour on the river last week and stayed completely dry underneath. The three-layer fabric really holds up, and the cut lets me layer a fleece underneath without feeling like a stuffed sausage. It's already my go-to for early season steelheading.

I was a little worried about overheating, but the three-layer build breathes better than my old jacket ever did. My fly box stayed dry through a sudden downpour, and the cuffs cinched down tight enough to keep the wind out. Solid buy for anyone who fishes in unpredictable weather.

The three-layer fabric handled a full day of casting in wind and drizzle without a single soak-through, and the fit still allows a decent range of motion for my backcast. Even the collar sat snug enough to keep the chill off my neck.
