Minimal Weight. Maximum Weather Protection.
The Orvis Ultralight Wading Jacket is built for anglers who demand reliable weather protection without the bulk of traditional rain gear. Updated with a more durable waterproof membrane, this latest version delivers up to three times the waterproof lifespan of the original Ultralight Jacket while maintaining the lightweight, packable performance that made it a favorite.
Constructed from a three-layer, two-way stretch shell fabric, the Ultralight Jacket offers 20K waterproof / 20K breathable performance, providing serious protection from heavy rain and wind while remaining comfortable during active fishing. The stretch construction allows unrestricted movement for casting, rowing, or hiking into remote water.
Despite its rugged weather protection, the jacket remains incredibly portable. Weighing just 15.8 ounces, it packs easily into a small daypack, sling pack, or boat bag, making it an ideal outer layer for unpredictable conditions.
Thoughtful angler-focused features include YKK AquaGuard® water-resistant zippers, fully taped seams, and a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish that sheds water from the fabric surface. A three-way adjustable storm hood with laminated brim keeps rain off your face while maintaining clear visibility.
Storage is streamlined but practical, with a single zippered chest pocket, side zip pockets with breathable power mesh for reduced bulk, and an internal power-mesh pocket for additional essentials. Integrated neoprene cuffs prevent water from running up your sleeves while landing or releasing fish.
Lightweight, durable, and built for anglers on the move, the Orvis Ultralight Wading Jacket offers dependable waterproof performance in a compact, travel-ready design.
