DuraTech Hybrid Jacket

The Preston DuraTech Hybrid Jacket is a hybrid jacket that combines a padded body with softshell sleeves and a softshell hood. The insulated body keeps your torso warm, while the more flexible sections around the arms provide freedom of movement while fishing. This gives you extra warmth without the entire jacket being made from thick padded material. Its lightweight design is suitable for use on the bank and in everyday life.

In mild weather, wear the jacket as an outer layer. When the temperature drops, you can use it as a warm mid-layer under a roomier outer jacket. The elastic cuffs fit comfortably and help retain warmth. The outer fabric, filling and lining are all made from 100% polyester.

Is the DuraTech Hybrid Jacket a rain jacket?

Preston does not state a hydrostatic head rating or fully waterproof construction for this jacket. Therefore, choose it for warmth and freedom of movement, not as a replacement for rainwear during prolonged rain. In wet weather, wear the Preston DF Ultra 25K Jacket as a waterproof outer layer, for example.
