Now featuring an extended and reinforced 3-layer construction, the Simms Challenger establishes itself as a benchmark waterproof and breathable fishing jacket. Robust, comfortable and designed for long days in the rain, it pairs ideally with the Challenger bib for complete protection.
The Challenger jacket is built on a 3-layer waterproof, breathable and stretch nylon fabric with C0 DWR finish. This construction combines lasting waterproofing and freedom of movement, essential during repeated casting or equipment handling. The seams are fully taped.
The integrated hood adjusts on three axes and retains the visor, preserving peripheral vision during fast boat trips. The internal cinch eliminates cords that slap 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 essentials to be stored securely. The cuffs adjust with velcro to seal at the moment of casting. A low-profile D-ring under the right hem accommodates a motor kill switch.
