When the forecast turns ugly but the bite is too good to ignore, the Simms Vapor Elite Jacket is the rain shell you want in your pack. Designed for anglers and outdoor travelers who demand real storm protection without bulk, this lightweight, highly packable fishing rain jacket delivers 3-layer waterproof performance that stands up to pounding weather—then stows small for easy carry until you need it.
At the heart of the Vapor Elite is a 3-layer waterproof construction built to keep water out while maintaining high breathability for all-day comfort across shifting conditions—whether you’re hiking to the next run, rowing in steady rain, or standing in a cold downpour while you wait for the eat. A highly adjustable 3-point hood locks down securely in wind and weather, providing dependable coverage when the rain is blowing sideways.
Simms finishes the jacket with fishing-focused details that matter in real conditions: a highly weather-resistant YKK® AquaGuard® center-front zipper helps seal out spray and rainfall, while two zippered hand pockets and an external zip chest pocket keep essentials close and protected. When conditions improve, the jacket packs into its own chest pocket for comfortable carry and quick on-the-fly deployment—ideal for travel, boat days, and unpredictable shoulder-season storms.
Durable molded PU hook-and-loop cuff adjustments provide a secure seal at the wrist and stand up to repeated use, helping you stay drier, warmer, and more comfortable when you’re pushing through wet weather.
