We’re not entirely sure how well this Fisherman Jacket from Nobis will fare when you’re spending the day on a fishing kayak waiting for fish to bite. We do know putting this thing on will make you look darn good, whether you celebrate the day with a bucketful of keepers or end it with nary a single catch.
Can you fish in it? Sure looks like it, considering it’s fully resistant to inclement weather, apart from coming with technical materials that should enable comfortable movement. So, yeah, no amount of splashes is going to get you wet, whether you’re fly fishing in a mountain stream or angling for some bass at a holding area.
The Nobis Fisherman Jacket is made from a polyurethane-coated cotton and nylon outer shell, with DWR treatment to ensure excellent performance during wet conditions. To keep it breathable, it uses Nobis’ custom mesh liner, with an adjustable hood that helps you stay dry when the clear skies shift mood into an unrelenting downpour. It comes with two-way zippers at the center front, along with front button fastening, ensuring neither water nor wind can penetrate once you’re all cinched up. Features include zip vents in the arm pits, quilted elbow patches on the left arm, button and tab detail at the cuffs, epaulette details on the shoulders, and a moldable in-peak wire. For pockets, you get a pair of welts on the hips with snap closures, button flap chest pockets, and a zippered inner pocket.
Available now, the Nobis Fisherman Jacket is priced at $273.
