FROGG TOGGSJava Hellbender Fly and Wading Fishing Jacket

Wear this while fly fishing. Breaks the wind, is extremely water proof and wears like iron. Had it for about 2 years now and its worn a lot. The pockets are perfect for fly fishing. You can't go wrong. I replaced my leaky gore-tex rain jacket with this one and found this jacket to be perfect for me. Note: I normally wear a medium, I ordered a large so that I could wear fleece tops (yes two of them) and then put on the jacket. Dry and warm. Great combination when wading.

I wore this in the surf recently (winter in the PNW) and got rolled by a wave up to my neck. I was perfectly dry under. This isn't a heavy or warm jacket, but is comfortable, has plenty of pockets and is a great wading jacket to keep out water. For the price, I don't think it can be beat.

I’m pretty impressed with the design on this jacket. First off 6’4”/210 ordered xxl, fit for me is awesome, couldn’t be better really, pretty tapered athletic cut at waist, maybe doesn’t work as well for some, but is partially elastic (just sides) Lots of room through chest and shoulders providing unlimited range of motion. The pocket layout is great & probably about perfect for fly fishing, I will be using in the PNW steelhead fishing so my gear is mostly in my fishing pack.Hood is awesome and adjustable and I love the way it rolls up and stores, creating a nice high collar around your neck, which can also fold down like a regular collar when to warm. Hand warmer pockets are there, don’t know I’d call them hand warmers though without having a fleece backing in them, but they do work nicely to take a break and get them out of the wind ( as do the real hand warmer pockets on my waders.D rings are nice and in good spots as well. My only real concern with this jacket is the main zipper, seems pretty light duty for what I know I’ll be putting it through. With that said, if there’s a problem I’ll go have a seamstress throw a heavier zipper on it and still be money ahead.Can’t really believe how much is there for $55 bucks, great value imho.

Very happy with this purchase....great product for the price and super comfortable too!

Kept me dry on a rainy fishing trip!

Leaked in the rain and front zipper was difficult zip up

This is a great rain jacket, especially for a sportsman. I bought it to use fishing but have wound up using all the time. It's light and provides maximum upper body coverage. Having so many pockets I can put my cell phone ,keys, and keep my hands warm. I bought one size larger so that I could use over other clothes and that was a good idea.

I purchased this prior to an early Fall fishing trip to the mountains of Colorado. It did rain during the trip and the jacket did a good job of shedding water. The best part of the jacket is the number and layout of the gear pockets. The pockets allow for plenty of storage and easy retrieval of flies, and other gear for use on the stream. The gear pocket openings are wide enough for large hands and the waterproof zippers felt secure. The problem with the jacket is with the quality of the main zipper and the stitching on the hand warmer pockets. The main zipper repeatedly separated at the bottom. Fortunately the jacket could still be snapped shut, but the lack of a functional zipper was annoying. The had warmer pockets would normally accommodate my larger hands, but unfortunately, the stitching on one of the right gear pockets (above the hand pocket) was sewn through the entire front of the jacket, thus partially closing the right hand warmer pocket to the point that my hand would not fit. The design of this jacket is as good as I've seen, but the quality control and the quality of some of the components appears to be suspect. I have requested a replacement through Amazon which should arrive today. I will update this review as warranted.

I used the SIZE Chart ??? I wear a 40" Waist, so Ordered a MEDIUM, says 47" so OK as wanted it loose fitting, BUT can Barely do up the Flap SNAPS ????? Am too late to Return as WRONG SIZE !!!!! By at Least 5" --- more like 7" --- BE Careful as Size Chart to say the least is --- somewhat INACCURATE !!!!!!! Other than WAY TOO SMALL --- the Jacket looks fine . . . . . .

Good quality jacket for fishing

Great product! Very water resistant. Can get a little moist from the body heat. Lots of pockets and perfect for fishing. Great value for the price.

Very good design but zipper is way too light weight for this jacket. It split the first time tried on. Fortunately I know how to sew and I purchased a heavier duty zipper and installed. Can’t tell the difference except on actual use it is immensely better. Jacket was cheaper than in the store even after changing out the zipper.
