Now in a more durable 3-layer stretch construction, the Simms Challenger jacket is the ultimate waterproof and breathable fishing jacket, ideal as a rain suit with the Challenger bib. A proven technical shell for facing any downpour.
The Challenger jacket is built from a 3-layer waterproof, breathable, and stretch nylon fabric with a C0 DWR finish. This construction combines lasting waterproofing with freedom of movement, essential during repeated casts or equipment handling. All seams are fully taped.
The integrated hood adjusts on three axes and retains the visor, preserving peripheral vision during fast boat trips. The inner drawstring system eliminates cords that flap in the wind. The central YKK zip is protected by an integrated collar that blocks the wind.
Two chest pockets, external and internal, with YKK zip, allow you to safely store essentials. The cuffs adjust with velcro to seal when casting. A low-profile D-ring under the right hem accommodates a motor kill switch.
