[ICAST 2024] Grundens NEW Portal Gore-Tex Wading Jacket – Best in Category

Grundens has won Best of Category in Fly Fishing Technical & General Apparel with the new Portal Gore-Tex Wading Jacket. This is a new top-of-line wading jacket made with a 3-layer laminate Gore-Tex material that is 100% waterproof and backed by the GORE-TEX “Guaranteed to keep you dry” promise. On top of the advanced material, Grundens made this jacket to the perfect blending of jacket and waders, with the Portal jacket’s pass-through chest pocket design. This is a pair of pockets across the front of the Portal jacket that has a pass-through pocket design that allows access into your waders without having to shed off your jacket. Additionally, these pockets can hold hand warmers for those cold days on the water or for right after dipping your hands in the trout stream.

Beyond the pass-through pockets of the Portal jacket, there is a tippet pocket on the front that has holes laser cut into it so you can easily grab some tippet material and retie quickly and efficiently. The cuffs on the jacket are shingled neoprene to give anglers dunking protection and there are water-resistant fly box compatible pockets across the chest that will help keep your gear dry during deep wading situations. The Grundens Portal Gore-Tex Wading Jacket will have an MSRP of $599.99.
