Redington Bow River Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)

my husband has been coveting this jacket for a long time. he is a gear junkie who does a lot of research before deciding what he wants. i got this for him for his birthday but there is still too much snow on the ground to go fishing. having said that he stands in the lane with his jacket on practicing his cast and waiting for the snow to melt.

great jacket for steelhead fishing

I will use the jacket while I fish the lakes and rivers of Oregon. While we don't get a lot of rain in central Oregon, it does snow in the winter and this jacket looks like it will handle the weather.

Bought to replace my Patagonia wading jacket that started to fall apart. Looks like it will work nicely!

This wading jacket was an excellent buy at the STP discounted price. It is comfortable and so far well waterproofed on several steelhead trips. A very reasonable alternative to the much higher priced wading jackets available.

Wow, what a value. I purchased this jacket in 2008 as an entry level jacket until I had $ to move up to a higher end jacket. The jacket has exceeded all my expectations. From driving rain and snow to walking through the brush the jacket performs very well. The jacket has lots of storage room compared to other jackets. It is quiet and functional. So what is missing: no D rings on the front, no pit zips, the cuff adjustment does catch fly line. Overall I would give this jacket an A. I am staying with this jacket.

I own a million jackets suitable for cold and windy fishing weather. I purchased this jacket because it was a "wading" jacket and claimed to be "100% guaranteed waterproof" and breathable. After wearing it on a BC river in the rain for 3 hours, the rain completely soaked through and rendered the jacket useless. I will be returning the jacket as it was mearly but a sponge. I now question anything claiming to be "100% waterproof". I would say this jacket is, if anything, water resistant.

Not waterproof therefore not much of a fishing jacket. Dont waste your money.

fall and spring wear. windy blustery days

Excellent wading jacket for steelhead fishing in the fall. I have tried many different brands and this jacket surpasses all in style, comfort, and performance. I think i'm going to buy another for when this one wears out in 10-15 seasons.
