Description

Why We Like The Simms Challenger Fishing Jacket

We absolutely love the Simms Challenger Fishing Jacket for several reasons. Firstly, it is part of Simms' exceptional range of rain-proof gear, making it a reliable choice for on-deck adventures. The jacket is made with a waterproof-breathable Toray fabric that effectively keeps downpours at bay, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable even in heavy rain. The fabric is also designed to maintain breathability, preventing the jacket from feeling overwhelming during breaks between storms.

One of the standout features of this jacket is its deployable hood, which neatly tucks behind the collar when not in use. This convenient design ensures that the hood is always within reach when you need the extra coverage. Additionally, the jacket is equipped with hook-and-loop cuffs that provide a snug fit, preventing rain from rolling in and ensuring that you stay protected in wet conditions.

Key Features

  • Waterproof Toray shell: The jacket is constructed with a reliable and durable waterproof Toray shell that effectively repels rainfall while maintaining breathability.
  • Updated fabric: The fabric used in this jacket is made with recycled materials, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
  • Stowable hood: The hood can be easily rolled and tucked behind the collar, allowing for convenient storage and quick access.
  • Adjustable cuffs and hem: The jacket features adjustable cuffs and hem, allowing you to secure it tightly to keep more water out.
  • Reflective logos: The jacket is equipped with reflective logos, enhancing visibility in dark storm conditions for added safety.
  • Zippered chest pocket with integrated sunglasses chamois: The jacket includes a zippered chest pocket that also serves as a convenient storage space for sunglasses. The integrated chamois ensures that your sunglasses stay clean and scratch-free.
  • Kill switch D-ring attachment at hem: The jacket features a kill switch D-ring attachment at the hem, providing a secure and easily accessible attachment point for your kill switch.
