Kinetic Strider Zip-Off Jacket
The Kinetic Strider Zip-Off Jacket is a versatile fly fishing jacket designed for anglers who need adaptable protection in changing weather conditions. Thanks to its innovative zip-off sleeve design, it easily transforms from a fully waterproof fishing jacket into a practical fishing vest, making it an ideal solution for active anglers throughout the changing seasons.
Made from 100% Polyester Pongee Oxford laminated with a TPU membrane, the Kinetic Strider Zip-Off Jacket provides reliable protection against rain and wind while maintaining comfortable breathability. The outer fabric features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, allowing water droplets to bead up and run off instead of soaking into the material.
With a waterproof rating of 8,000 mm water column and breathability of 800 MVP, the jacket offers dependable performance during rainy days, windy conditions and cooler fishing sessions. Fully taped seams provide additional protection against water penetration, while the mesh lining improves comfort during extended use.
The key feature of this model is its practical transformation system. By simply removing the sleeves with the integrated zippers, the Kinetic Strider Zip-Off Jacket becomes a lightweight and comfortable fishing vest, providing greater freedom of movement during warmer weather or when actively casting for long periods.
Designed specifically with anglers in mind, the jacket offers excellent storage capacity with two expandable chest pockets, two large box pockets, a large rear zip pocket and an internal zip pocket for valuables. This allows easy organization of fly boxes, leaders, tippets, tools and personal accessories.
The adjustable fold-away hood provides additional protection during heavy rain while maintaining an unobstructed view of the water. Double storm flaps prevent wind and rain from entering through the front zipper, while the adjustable hem allows a more secure fit according to personal preference.

The Kinetic Strider Zip-Off Jacket is ideal for:
- fly fishing during spring, summer and autumn;
- rainy and windy days on rivers and lakes;
- long fishing sessions with changing weather conditions;
