Discover something that makes life a little more manageable.

The Patagonia SST Jacket in Smolder Blue is designed specifically for salmon, steelhead and trout anglers across the globe who like to push the limits. It combines the best features of the previous STT model with brand-new features.

The jacket is crafted from an extremely hard-wearing and breathable H2No Performance Standard 3-layer nylon double ripstop with a water-repellent coating for added weather protection. But this level of protection doesnt come with unnecessary bulk, infact the jacket is rather lightweight. An adjustable hood and Streamlined reverse StretchCoat cuffs provide further protection from wind and rain. Y-Joint sleeves with anatomically curved elbows allow you to move with ease.

Pockets are plentiful with the STT jacket. You will find two large gusseted chest pockets, two hand-warmer style front pockets and one large back pocket all of which are waterproof using YKK Vislon AquaGuard and YKK AquaGuard zips.

To the back is a double belt loop which allows you to cinch your wading belt over the jacket and waders, creating a nearly waterproof seal for greater safety in the event of a spill. Other features include three Beastie D-rings (two on front, one on back), a large back pocket and hidden rod holder.

Heres a pick thats both practical and heartfelt.
