The Simms Challenger Insulated Jacket is your perfect shield against harsh weather conditions. This 100% waterproof, insulated jacket is designed to withstand the elements while providing maximum comfort and protection. Thanks to a combination of high-quality materials and thoughtful features, you will stay warm, dry, and protected—no matter how challenging the conditions are.
The outer shell of the Challenger Insulated Jacket is made from a two-layer Toray® fabric that is fully waterproof and breathable. With fully sealed seams, the jacket reliably keeps rain and splashes at bay, while the high-loft PrimaLoft® Rise insulation provides exceptional warmth. This insulation offers maximum warmth with minimal weight, making the jacket easy to wear and ideal for long days on the water. The moisture-wicking polyester taffeta lining keeps you dry even during intense activities and ensures a comfortable feel.
Special attention has been given to the adjustable hood, which is specifically designed for high speeds and driving rain. With a 3-point adjustability, the hood can be optimally adjusted to provide maximum protection from wind and weather. The freestanding, adjustable collar is lined with brushed tricot, providing extra warmth and comfort, while the center front zipper is protected by an exterior Velcro storm flap.
The jacket features a variety of functional pocket solutions: a vertical left chest pocket with a tethered sunglasses chamois and a welded right chest pocket, both with zipper closures, provide secure storage for smaller items. The welded handwarmer pockets are also equipped with zippers and lined with brushed tricot to keep your hands comfortably warm. Additionally, the interior waist drawcords allow for easy adjustment of the fit.
A modified sleeve design enhances comfort, and the cuffs can be individually adjusted with Velcro closures to prevent water from entering. The straight-cut front hem with an extended back provides additional protection against the elements. For ice anglers, there are snap flaps on each shoulder to secure safety ice picks.
In short: with the Simms Challenger Insulated Jacket, you are prepared for whatever nature has in store for you. Whether fishing, hiking, or engaging in outdoor activities in freezing temperatures, this jacket keeps you warm, dry, and ready for action.
