Default Opinions on shell jackets?


Brian I ditto Dan & Ken's opinions on the Marmot Precip. I just used
Brian it last Thurs on the river. The only drawback for fishing
Brian purposes is, the lack on big pockets, and the length for deep
Brian wading.

Lack of pockets is ok, I already have too many pockets in my vest. :-)
But the length might be a problem. One of the good properties of my
current jacket is that it has a tightening strap at the level of my
waist (it was actually one of the reasons why I bought it in the first
place). What I do when I need to wade deeper is that I tighten the
waist, then tuck the lower parts of the jacket under the tightened
strap. Voila, a long jacket becomes a short one good for wading. The
pockets become unusable, but only while the jacket remains short.

Hmm, this is something I did not remember initially. I wonder if any
of the Marmots have this property.
