Well, I ended up going with the Patagonia River Salt, even though (a) it's pricey (despite getting it for 20% off), (b) I would have preferred a jacked that had lower pockets in addition to chest-level pockets, and (c) I'm not a fan of some of Patagonia's stances.

I was very tempted by the Hodgman Aesis jacket, because I found a screamin' deal on Amazon, but (a) the chest pockets were just barely too small for the lure boxes I like to carry, and (b) the color I preferred would have cost over $100 more.

None of the Cabela's, Simms, Sitka, or Frogg Toggs products I was able to try on made the final cut.
