I want a jacket for fishing that is light weight, very waterproof, and covers my butt so I can stay warmer.

I think wading jackets are stupid because they are too short to be comfortable in a lot of weather I fish in. A parka sounds pretty good these days. Maybe I'm getting old?

If you can name a jacket that fits this description and know if I am or am not getting older please let me know.

Yes, I will be wearing waders. My lower back is usually exposed with wading jackets. Wind and rain make me cold in this area. I want something that hangs down farther but has fishing jackets features.

A jacket that covers your ass? I'm pretty sure that's called a dress.

If you want an even longer one, Patagonia has their Minimalist fishing jacket.

You get better ass coverage, but it's much lighter material so you'll sacrifice the durability of the wader-caliber fabric of the River/Salt model.

I'm particularly short thru the torso, so the River/Salt gives me ample coverage of my back side.

I used several Columbia and Redington coats and eventually became dissatisfied after a long cold day of pouring rain, and both coats eventually becoming saturated.

Because of this reason, I've switched to wearing my snowboarding shell, which is an Arcteryx Sidewinder coat. It 's just a waterproof shell without any insulation, but that's fine because it will not get get wet, stay wet, or leak. I just layer with fleece or a hoodie for warmth underneath. These coats are long and also have an elastic powder bib which prohibits drafts and water from coming up through the garment from below.

Lets see:

You wear waders

You have a wading jacket that you feel is to short, thus your back gets cold.

1. If the wading jacket you have is "water proof", then a simple solution would be "buy a set or just a top of thermal underwear"

2. If money is NO object, then go with the Patagonia River Salt jacket.

If I plan on doing a lot of wading, which I do in the summer time, I only use my wading jacket, if I use my long rain parka the bottom will always be in the water and gets wet. There are times when my wading jacket is too long.....grrrrr

I LIKE Sky-Guys solution to this problem, and will look into this!!!!!!

Drifter, the River Salt jacket Doc posted about above is very similar to what I am wearing. The point is, buy a bomber waterproof shell that excels at keeping water out, and layer underneath. that may not equal a "fishing coat"....Look at Patagonia, Arcteryx, Marmot, Outdoor Research.

Yup I think I was about in 8th grade when I answered the question you originally asked for myself.

Here is a free tidbit for extra credit.
Wear a brimmed hat and water won't run down your neck.

Or maybe you are still in 8th grade? Long addition can be tough young buck. Keep at it.

http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Rain-Jacket-Reviews


"While some jackets offer specific advantages for certain applications, if we could only have one jacket for a wide range of activities, this do-everything rain jacket would be it."

This statement within the review speaks to my point above. Think away from "fishing coats" and look at everything in the marketplace.
