The Grundens Gore-Tex Pro Fishing Jacket is a Gore-Tex fishing jacket designed for demanding conditions. The jacket withstands extremely harsh weather and fishing situations where there is no shelter from the elements. It suits highly active anglers who stay on the water late into the autumn, fishing guides who need equipment that lasts and protects, and of course commercial fishermen who cannot choose the conditions of their working days. The jacket is an equally sound choice for anyone active outdoors or on the water who spends long days out in changing weather – whether that means a gusty rain shower on a lake, a cold stretch of rapids on a salmon river, a day offshore where the spray never stops for a moment, or simply a long autumn morning in the boat. Gore-Tex Pro is Grundéns' most durable and most uncompromising fishing jacket. The jacket is made from a 70D GORE-TEX Pro 3L ePE shell construction. In this three-layer material the face fabric, the waterproof and windproof membrane and the inner backer fabric form a single structure. The result is a fully waterproof and windproof shell that at the same time breathes effectively in active use. GORE-TEX Pro is among the manufacturer's materials intended for the most demanding use, and the construction carries the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY promise. According to Grundéns, the new ePE construction is around 20% lighter than the previous GORE-TEX Pro laminate. The face fabric has a PFAS-free DWR treatment that helps water bead off the surface. The solution-dyed Micro-Grid backer on the inside of the shell increases the material's puncture, tear and abrasion resistance. Its smooth surface helps the jacket move over mid layers and makes it easier to put on even when a fleece or another warmer layer is worn underneath. The 70D outer shell fabric, in turn, is designed for demanding use in which the jacket comes into contact with boat structures and fishing gear. The cut of the jacket is shaped for a fisherman's movements. Casting, playing a fish, netting and working in the boat all succeed without the jacket pulling tight across the shoulders or arms. This matters especially on long fishing days, where the garment has to protect against the weather while still letting the wearer work normally. A high collar and a protective hood help keep wind and rain off the face and neck. Neoprene wrist cuffs seal the sleeve ends and reduce water getting into the sleeves, for example when handling fish or fishing in the rain. Large storage pockets and hand-warmer pockets add practicality on cold and wet days. According to the manufacturer, GORE-TEX Pro products are tested with GORE-TEX's Storm test method. The Grundens Gore-Tex Pro Fishing Jacket is therefore intended for situations where the protection expected of an ordinary rain jacket is no longer enough and the equipment has to withstand repeated, active use. Together with the Gore-Tex Pro Fishing Bib it forms a highly protective combination for demanding fishing.
