This is not the most expensive or the cheapest waterproof jacket on the market. However, it does exactly what it is designed to do, which is to be lightweight, easily packable, and keep the wearer dry and comfortable to stay out on the water longer. This jacket is perfect for the backcountry angler that needs something quick to don when... Read more

Joseph Smith owns this product
This is the ideal jacket for a person looking for a rain jacket that can be easily stowed in a pack. The durable water repellent finish on the jacket repels water. The 20K waterproof rating and the 30K breathability rating will keep the wearer comfortable in those situations that require a rain jacket.
Ideal for
  • Lightweight, packs easy
  • Easy access pockets
  • waterproof and windproof
Not ideal for
  • Lightweight and will not provide significant warmth

Good but not for heavy rain

Originally posted at www.orvis.com on Aug 20, 2024
I had this for 3 years and used it on floats in Alaska. This year (2024) it failed mid-trip. Four hours into a day of heavy rain and wind it began to soak through and my upper body was soaked by the time we made camp. The other 8 guys were all fine. The good news: Orvis took the jacket back and I paid to upgrade to the Pro model -really great service. My jacket was the 2022 model, so maybe this one is better, but I recommend a heavier jacket for prolonged rain exposure.

Nice Jacket but could stand some improvements

Originally posted at www.orvis.com on Aug 16, 2024
I have only just received it and I have not tested it in the rain. I wore it once so far on a day in the 60's with rain impending. My initial impression is that the jacket is well made, however it is a bit long for a "wading" jacket which are usually only belt long. I'm concerned that the cuff gusset might leak and there is no provision to tighten them. Also my jacket has no net attachment point on the back although the included description says there is one. I found the jacket to be a bit warm for an "ultra light" jacket, I have an older jacket from a company no longer in business that is lighter but no longer very waterproof. The description states it is packable but it neither rolls up into itself or comes with a stuff sack. It would also be nice if the attached hood could be rolled up into or onto the collar so the jacket be worn on cool but not rainy days. A D ring attachment point on the front of the jacket would be nice so that one could strap a watch there since the sleeve gusset interferes with reading a wrist watch (I do this on another brand but heavier jacket). I intend to use this more as a boat jacket for cool mornings in the tropics and stand by if it rains but I don't think I'd want to do any heavy wading in it.

I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

I bought an open box Orvis fishing rod and it was at a great price. The condition of the rod and the shipping time exceeded my expectations. The information I received from Capt. Mark was accurate and helpful. I would definitely buy from Curated again.

Helped me with some valuable fly fishing knowledge that I lack coming from the conventional fishing world. Hooked me up with a good starter rod and even price matched it with another company. Will be coming back for a reel soon.
