On Rio Santa Cruz, the wind tears truck doors off their hinges and flying grit sands paint down to primer. But if you want to find Atlantic steelhead, there’s only one option: deal with it. Our new Shelled Insulator Jacket provides warm, comfortable shelter and full-stretch freedom so you can keep pounding it into the teeth of the gale. The tough, stretch-woven polyester soft shell with Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish is bonded to a windproof membrane and soft, grid-backed insulation. Two large zipper-closed pockets on the front hold boxes big enough to carry giant Intruders and String Things. A fully adjustable hood keeps your noggin out of nature’s sandblaster. The Shelled Insulator is your fly fishing jacket of choice whenever the wind howls and temps drop.
