An item I was glad to have over my insulated bib or neoprene waders during the season was Cabela's Versatec Gore-Tex Waterfowl 4-in-1 Wading jacket. A Supplex Taslon nylon outer shell is soft to the touch, turns wind, will stand up to brush, won't absorb water and has a 100 percent breathable, waterproof Gore-Tex lining. It has a visored hood with adjustable drawstring, a drawstring waist and a heavy-duty two-way zipper with a hidden-snap storm flap. Two large Velcro bellows-style pockets with five elastic shell loops within each pocket, D-rings and a hidden storm-flapped call pocket ensure you'll have room for your calls and ammunition.
