powered heated vest thatis mentioned above. Thisis the keystone to keepingyour core warm andremaining comfortable forthe entire day.After this, a puff jacketor fleece, followed by animpervious outer layerjacket, round out theensemble. When it comesto the outermost layer,there is great debate. I willwear a Gore-Tex jacketwhen the weather is notforecasted to be superwet. This will generallystay dry enough, but Ihave yet to find a highend Gore-Tex jacket that iswater”PROOF”.For really wet days, Irely on rubber. My go-tois something made byeither Helly Hansen orGrundens that is designedfor commercial fishing.There are many options andmost cost less than a highend jacket from Simms,Patagonia, or anotherleading brand. The key is togo with something that willkeep the rain and wind out.Also, layering as outlinedabove allows you to dressand undress for comfort, asconditions change duringthe day.I don’t want to sway anyoneto a particular brand ofclothing as we all have ourpreferences. I can attest towhat has worked best forme based on years of trialand error as well as talkingto guides who are out in theelements every day. Gettingcold is a strong motivatorto find a way to keep warm,so a lot of testing goes intodetermining what worksbest. I will leave it to youto listen to the researchand advice of someonewho has invested heavilyin this process or chooseto learn on your own.Hopefully, this is helpful,and you successfully chasesteelhead in 2025, whileremaining warm, dry, andcomfortable. Good fishing!
