The Filson Swiftwater Rain Jacket is designed specifically for the active angler or constantly changing weather conditions. It is extremely durable against abrasion and also very breathable!
The Swiftwater Rain Jacket is the perfect companion for the active fly fisherman who is exposed to the wet, among other things, but also produces a lot of wetness. Because, the 2.5-layer material of the Swiftwater has two special properties. It fights wetness, both the wetness that wants to get inside from the outside and the wetness that needs to get out from the inside. It's made of durable but lightweight 3.7 oz nylon with a waterproof membrane laminated to the inside. Added to this is a mesh grid printed on the inside to protect the membrane from abrasion and wear. The waterproof membrane is full of microscopic pores that allow vapor and heat to escape, but keep rain out. With the Swiftwater, you can expose yourself to the harshest of downpours and at the same time the internal wetness is channeled to the outside. This is exactly how a reliable outdoor jacket needs to work. To ensure that water stays out at all points, a high-quality, water-repellent AquaGuard® zipper from YKK® was used in the center as well as the pockets. The hood and also the sleeves of the jacket can also be ideally adjusted to the body by a drawstring, or Velcro, so that it whistles nowhere pure. And despite its light weight and pack size, the Swiftwater is fully seam-sealed for durable, long-lasting protection from the wettest weather conditions while fishing, hiking or biking.
The Swiftwater Rain Jacket is designed for active use that requires lightweight, waterproof protection that can be pulled out of a pack or vest in a snap, while withstanding the worst thorns, brush and abrasion.

Filson - Rugged quality for over 125 years. Born in 1850, C. C. Filson inherited the pioneering spirit and love of nature from his father. After establishing a settlement in Nebraska and moving across the country as a railway conductor, he moved to the small town of Seattle, Washington in the 1890s. There he started his own company and became the first go-to place for hundreds of gold diggers heading north during the gold rush of the late 19th century. Since then, the name 'Filson' has been synonymous with uncompromising quality and robust materials! And after the gold diggers, it was mainly hunters, anglers, sailors and miners who appreciated Filson's robust and comfortable outdoor clothing. And this has not changed until today!
