We included multiple zippered pockets sized for essentials like licenses, GPS units, and calls. The packable design stuffs into its own pocket for easy storage in your pack or truck when skies clear.

Waterproof Construction & Breathability
We built this rain jacket with a ripstop nylon outer shell that repels water while resisting tears from brush and branches. Every seam features heat-sealed tape to eliminate weak points where moisture typically penetrates budget rain gear. The DWR (durable water repellent) finish causes water to bead and roll off the surface rather than soaking into the fabric.
The interior mesh lining creates airflow channels that allow perspiration vapor to escape while blocking external moisture. This breathable design prevents the clammy discomfort common with non-breathable rain shells during active use. Whether you’re working a duck blind or hiking to your stand, you’ll stay dry from both rain and sweat.
Sizing & Fit Details
Our rain jacket follows standard men’s sizing and is designed to layer over mid-weight fleece or insulation. We recommend ordering your normal size for a comfortable fit with room for layering underneath. The articulated sleeve design accommodates base layers and insulation without binding at the shoulders or restricting movement.
The adjustable waist drawcord allows you to customize the fit and seal out drafts. Cuffs feature hook-and-loop adjustments that cinch over gloves or tuck inside for a streamlined fit. The extended drop-tail hem provides additional coverage when bending or reaching, preventing exposure at the waist.
Storage & Organization
Four zippered pockets provide secure storage for items you need accessible in wet conditions. The two chest pockets sit high enough to access while wearing a pack or waders, perfect for storing calls, licenses, or a GPS unit. Two hand-warmer pockets at waist level offer space for gloves, rangefinders, or snacks.
All pocket zippers feature storm flaps that prevent moisture from seeping through the zipper teeth. The main front zipper includes a full-length internal draft flap that blocks wind and rain from penetrating the closure. When you don’t need the jacket, it packs into its own chest pocket to create a compact bundle that stores easily in your pack or vehicle.

Rain Jacket Questions from Our Customers
This jacket features fully waterproof construction with sealed seams throughout. The ripstop nylon shell includes a DWR coating that causes water to bead and roll off the surface. We seal every seam with heat-applied tape to prevent moisture from penetrating at stitching points, making this jacket suitable for extended exposure to rain rather than just light showers.
Yes, we designed this jacket to accommodate mid-weight fleece or insulated layers underneath. The cut provides room through the chest and shoulders without excess bulk. The articulated sleeves prevent binding when you layer underneath, and the adjustable waist drawcord allows you to customize the fit based on what you’re wearing.
The jacket packs into its own integrated chest pocket for compact storage. Simply stuff the jacket into the designated pocket and secure the closure to create a bundle approximately the size of a water bottle. This packable design makes it easy to stow the jacket in your backpack or vehicle when you don’t need it, then deploy it quickly when weather changes.
The hood opening is sized to accommodate a standard baseball cap or beanie underneath. The three-point adjustment system lets you cinch the hood around your head for a secure fit whether you’re wearing a cap or not. The brim provides additional face protection and helps keep rain off glasses or optics.
Wash the jacket in cold water with technical garment cleaner, then tumble dry on low heat. The low heat actually reactivates the DWR coating to restore water-shedding performance. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents that can compromise the finish. With proper care, the waterproof protection will last for many seasons of use.
All zippers feature storm flaps that prevent water from seeping through the zipper teeth. The main front zipper includes a full-length internal draft flap that blocks moisture and wind from penetrating the closure. While the zippers themselves are standard coil zippers, the protective flaps provide excellent weather protection in real-world conditions.
The jacket weighs approximately 14 ounces in size large, making it light enough to pack without adding significant weight to your gear. Despite the lightweight construction, we didn’t compromise on durability or weather protection. The ripstop nylon resists tears while the sealed seams maintain waterproof integrity.
