River Salt Jacket

Patagonia claims the River Salt Jacket is its toughest, most durable fishing shell constructed with H2NO wader fabric, a 100 percent waterproof and breathable material that performs well in harsh conditions. Features include three coated, water-repellent front zip pockets sized to hold fly boxes. The pocket zippers, as well as the main zipper, are made with Patagonia’s waterproof, corrosion-resistant AQUAzip. The jacket also features a fully vented adjustable hood designed to stay in place while running at speed in a boat. Rounding out the River Salt Jacket’s features are watertight adjustable cuffs and a mesh draining bungie drawcord. It will be available in early 2012 for $349.

Slick Calm Shirt

The Slick Calm Shirt is a versatile, high-performance, yet comfortable, fishing shirt made of an organic cotton/polyester plain weave which is highly breathable. It will be available in early 2012 for $69.

Home Waters Shorts

The new Home Waters Shorts are constructed of fast drying, lightweight, durable nylon taslan with 50-UPF sun protection. The shorts are well-suited for fishing or travel, and will be available in early 2012 for $59.

This blend of natural-fiber, chlorine-free 80% merino wool from special ranches in Argentina and 100% recycled polyester offers better performance, moisture
management, and durability than 100% wool. It’s designed for comfort in cool to warm conditions, is soft next to skin, naturally controls odor, and stays warm even when wet. Whether fishing, hunting, backpacking or trying to keep warm in cool-to-cold temperatures, Patagonia considers this the most versatile Merino option they provide.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price: $70-90.
