Brands like Simms fishing products are well-known for producing high-quality fishing jackets.

What are the best waterproof fishing jackets?

The waterproofness of a jacket is measured using a hydrostatic head test. It measures how much water pressure (in millimeters) the fabric can withstand before leaking.
