Wading Jacket??

[TroutBuster]

I'm thinking about buying a wading jacket for some spring trout fishing. Like the waterproof ones with several pockets on the front. I think it'd be nice for short trips during the early part of trout season.

Any suggestions on any particular models? Some definitely seem to be more expensive than others. Do you think it'd be worth buying a used one off ebay or something??

Multiple people praising the Bean Emerger II should be joining this thread, shortly.

Should move this thread to gear talk, and then look up the 15 different threads that already have been started on this subject. Just saying. My vote for Bean Emerger II

 

[TroutBuster]

Ah, true.... sorry I should have put this in the gear talk forum.... a little help moderators???

Anything LL Bean runs really small and the largest size they have is XXL.
So make sure you try before you buy if possible.

Lucky to have a retail store here in Pittsburgh.

They might if you linked the right way.

Those are unfixable because they truncated, and broken.

since they won't fix...just type "wading jacket" into the search. There are at least 5 threads discussing them.

Yep, it's new. Jerry has been on a bender about "delimiters". My guess is that we will again be able to do it the old way one day.

If you are looking for waterproof (wouldn't see why you wouldn't and water resistant is not waterproof) the aforementioned Bean Emerger II seems to get the nod. Lifetime warranty and plenty of usable pockets.

Here is a hell load of clearance wading jackets with no tax and $5 shipping.

LL Bean Emerger. great buy and guaranteed for life ! How do you go wrong.
Bean is having a fishing sale thie weekend. Check them out in person or on the web.

Can't help with a specific brand but if your looking for a jacket for fishing only- I would recommend getting a "shorty" type so's it's not hanging into the water and getting wet. Certainly can get by with a regular raincoat though.

Bean Emerger II is a shorty type
