At Whitewater Fishing, the Great Lakes Pro Jacket exists because traditional fishing outerwear wasn’t built for how anglers actually move. Heavy shells. Stiff fabrics. Jackets that promised protection but fought every cast, reach, and adjustment. We knew that kind of gear didn’t belong on the water, especially when conditions are at their worst and performance matters most.
The Great Lakes Pro Jacket was engineered to eliminate those limitations. Built with a stretch poly/spandex 3-layer shell and intentional articulation throughout the patterning, this jacket moves with you, not against you. Every reach into a rod locker, every hookset, every adjustment at the helm happens naturally, without resistance or bulk slowing you down. Protection is built in, but mobility leads the design.
This jacket is fully waterproof and windproof, with a breathable 20k/30k laminate and fully taped seams to shut out driving rain, spray, and cold wind. A smooth polyester lining allows for easy layering and effortless on-and-off transitions as conditions change. The adjustable three-piece hood with a stiff brim, extended collar, and sealed cuffs creates a secure barrier against the elements, keeping you dry, warm, and locked in when weather pushes back.
Designed and tested on the Great Lakes, where conditions turn fast, and forgiveness is rare, the Pro Jacket balances storm-level protection with all-day fishability. Strategic reflective detailing enhances visibility in low-light conditions, while integrated D-rings provide quick, secure attachment points for safety gear. Storage is streamlined and purposeful, with low-profile pockets that stay out of the way while keeping essentials within reach.
This is outerwear designed as part of a system, ready to layer, adapt, and perform when staying out longer matters more than staying comfortable at the dock.
