Built for relentless anglers, the Skwala RS Rain Jacket delivers serious waterproof protection, unrestricted movement, and fishing-specific function for the nastiest days on the water.
The Skwala RS Rain Jacket is a technical waterproof fly fishing rain jacket designed for anglers who keep fishing through driving rain, cold wind, long floats, and miserable shoulder-season weather. Built around a 3-layer waterproof/breathable Toray Entrant® microporous laminate, the RS combines dependable weather protection with a 2-way mechanical stretch-woven face fabric that moves naturally through casting, rowing, and active wading.
Every detail is designed around long days in severe wet conditions. A unique double-cuff system combines a fully taped adjustable inner cuff with a waterproof/breathable outer cuff to help seal water away from your arms. Oversized angled chest pockets carry fishing tools without unnecessary bulk, pass-through pockets provide access to the warming pockets of compatible RS Waders, and fleece-lined handwarmer pockets provide direct relief when cold weather settles in.
Designed to layer over insulation and waders, the RS Rain Jacket is cut approximately a half-size larger to accommodate cold-weather layering without sacrificing mobility.
The RS Rain Jacket solves several problems that show up quickly when fishing in sustained rain. Water running down your sleeves, bulky layering, hood bunching, snag-prone adjustment cords, and poorly positioned pockets can make a long wet day miserable. Skwala addresses each of those details with purpose-built solutions.
We especially like the double-cuff system. The taped inner cuff creates a close seal at the wrist, while the adjustable outer cuff adds another barrier against rain and spray. The drop hood is another standout: it provides generous storm coverage without piling up behind your neck when worn down.
Add articulated sleeves, stretch fabric, wader-compatible pass-through pockets, and oversized chest storage, and the RS feels designed around actual fishing movement instead of simply adapting a generic rain shell.
3-Layer Toray® Waterproof Protection - A waterproof/breathable Toray Entrant® microporous laminate provides dependable foul-weather protection for extended fishing in rain, wind, and spray.
Fishing-Specific Double Cuffs - The interior stretch-woven cuff is fully taped and adjustable, while the outer waterproof/breathable cuff adds a second layer of protection against water intrusion.
Built for Wader Integration - Pass-through pockets allow direct access to the handwarmer pockets of compatible RS Waders, creating a more integrated cold-weather fishing system.
Drop Hood That Stays Out of the Way - The fully adjustable hood provides generous coverage in a downpour but is designed to avoid bunching behind your neck when zipped up with the hood down.
The RS Rain Jacket is intended to function as the waterproof outer layer of a cold-weather fishing system. Its roomier cut allows it to fit comfortably over insulation such as a Fusion Hybrid or 3/2 Puffy along with fishing waders.
That additional space is intentional, helping maintain freedom of movement when fully layered instead of compressing insulation or restricting the shoulders during casting.
The Skwala RS Rain Jacket is a premium waterproof fly fishing rain jacket engineered for anglers who fish through heavy rain, cold wind, river spray, and demanding foul-weather conditions. Its 3-layer Toray Entrant® waterproof/breathable laminate, mechanical stretch nylon shell, articulated sleeves, fully taped construction, double waterproof cuff system, YKK® Aquaguard® zippers, adjustable storm hood, and fishing-specific pocket layout provide dependable protection without compromising movement.
For anglers searching for a waterproof fishing jacket, cold-weather fly fishing rain jacket, technical wading jacket, or heavy-duty fishing rain shell, the Skwala RS Rain Jacket combines durable storm protection, smart layering capability, and fishing-focused design for long days in severe wet weather.
