Serious cold-weather protection built specifically for anglers who refuse to let freezing temperatures, wind, rain, or snow end the day early.
The Skwala RS Outpost Jacket combines high-output warmth, full weather protection, and unrestricted mobility in a technical insulated waterproof fishing jacket built for harsh winter conditions. At its core is 150 grams of Toray® 3DeFX+™ spiral insulation, delivering substantial heat retention while maintaining flexibility, breathability, and a streamlined feel.
Around that insulation, Skwala uses a durable waterproof, windproof, 4-way stretch Toray® shell with fully taped and reinforced seams to keep foul weather outside without making the jacket feel rigid. A soft moisture-wicking interior liner helps manage perspiration, while fishing-specific details—including pass-through warming pockets, insulated hand pockets, an angled chest pocket, adjustable hydrophobic cuffs, and an adjustable storm hood—make the RS Outpost a true cold-weather fly fishing system rather than a generic winter jacket.
The RS Outpost is built around one simple idea: staying warm should not mean giving up mobility or fishing function.
We especially like the combination of 150g insulation and a 4-way stretch waterproof shell. That pairing gives you serious warmth for freezing river days while still allowing natural movement for casting, rowing, hiking, and handling fish. The pass-through pockets are another standout feature, letting cold hands tap into the warmth of compatible RS Wader handwarmer pockets instead of relying on one layer alone.
It is the kind of jacket that makes the most sense when conditions are at their worst.
150g Toray® 3DeFX+™ Insulation - Spiral synthetic insulation delivers strong heat retention while remaining flexible and breathable, helping reduce the stiff, bulky feel common in heavily insulated jackets.
Fully Waterproof & Windproof Protection - A durable Toray® outer shell blocks rain, snow, spray, and cutting wind during exposed winter fishing conditions.
4-Way Stretch Mobility - The shell moves naturally with your body, supporting unrestricted casting, rowing, hiking, and wading.
Fishing-Specific Handwarming System - Two pass-through pockets give you access to body heat trapped inside compatible RS Wader warming pockets, while separate insulated handwarmer pockets add another source of warmth.
Storm-Ready Construction - Fully taped reinforced seams, YKK® Aquaguard™ zippers, an adjustable hood, and hydrophobic cuffs help seal out foul weather.
