Simms Waypoints Jacket Slate

Simms Waypoints Jacket Slate 

Lightweight Waterproof Fishing Jacket

The Simms Waypoints Jacket Slate is an exceptionally lightweight and highly packable rain jacket designed for fly anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who want reliable weather protection always close at hand. Built for sudden changes in weather, it provides waterproof-breathable protection against rain and wind without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to your fishing pack.

The jacket is constructed from 2.5-layer stretch Toray® fabric, combining waterproof and breathable performance with mechanical stretch for improved mobility. The flexible construction is particularly useful for fly fishing, allowing the jacket to move naturally with the angler during casting, wading, hiking, and fish fighting. A durable water-repellent DWR finish helps water bead away from the outer surface and enhances protection in wet conditions.

At approximately 312 g in size Medium, the Waypoints Jacket is exceptionally lightweight for a waterproof shell. Its standout feature is its integrated packability: the entire jacket can be packed into one of its zippered hand pockets. This reduces the jacket to a compact package that can easily be carried inside a backpack, sling pack, boat bag, or fishing pack until the weather changes.

The adjustable hood provides additional protection for the head and neck and can be quickly adjusted when rain and wind increase. It makes the jacket particularly useful when a storm front arrives unexpectedly during a day on the water.

A zippered chest pocket provides secure storage for small fishing accessories, leaders, terminal tackle, or personal essentials. Its practical position allows easy access without interfering with casting movements.

The drawcord-adjustable hem allows the fit to be customized and helps prevent cold air and rain from entering underneath the jacket. Hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs provide a secure fit around the wrists and help keep wind and moisture out of the sleeves.

Reflective Simms logos provide increased visibility in low-light conditions, making the jacket useful not only on the river but also during early-morning starts, evening sessions, travel, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

Rather than being a bulky expedition-style rain shell, the Waypoints Jacket is designed as an ultralight, emergency-ready waterproof layer that can be carried virtually anywhere. Its combination of low weight, stretch mobility, waterproof-breathable protection, and compact packability makes it especially valuable for mobile anglers who cover significant distances while fishing.

Whether you're fly fishing a river, hiking to a remote fishing spot, traveling, or simply dealing with unpredictable weather, the Simms Waypoints Jacket Slate provides the lightweight protection and versatility needed to stay comfortable when the weather turns.
