WHAT MATTERS

3-Layer Stretch Softshell
Three-layer stretch ripstop softshell provides wind protection and abrasion resistance while allowing movement.
Hexatron Fleece Lining
Hexatron fleece lining adds cold-weather insulation behind the softshell face fabric.
Integrated Tuck-Away Face Mask
Face mask is integrated into the hood and can be tucked away when not needed.
Adjustable Hood + Hem
Shock-cord adjustments at both hood and hem let the user tighten the jacket against wind.
DWR + Zippered Storage
DWR treatment adds water repellency, while zippered hand and chest pockets secure small gear.

GTW TAKE

“

THE REAPER LAYER FOR WHEN THE WIND STOPS BEING AN ANNOYANCE AND BECOMES THE WEATHER

The Reaper Windproof Jacket makes sense when cold air moving across the water is the actual problem. Its stretch softshell, fleece lining, integrated face coverage, adjustable hood and hem, and DWR treatment create a much more protective fishing layer than the standard Reaper Sweatshirt. It is still not a waterproof rain jacket, so sustained rain and heavy spray call for a true shell.
Best for cold boat runs and exposed fishing where wind protection matters more than lightweight insulation.
Fleece-backed softshell construction combines warmth with a real wind barrier.
Integrated face coverage and adjustable openings reduce the need for separate cold-weather accessories.
Tradeoff: DWR is not waterproofing; extended rain requires a dedicated shell.
