I have owned this jacket for about a month now and it comes with me absolutely everywhere, from fishing to walks and even just the supermarket. This jacket folds up small which is super convenient and its really waterproof. To top it off, it looks super stylish!
Got this great looking new drip just prior to the recent Anglers Escape which was set in torrential conditions! The jacket performed flawlessly in the sopping rain. Having the armpit vents was a great way to let out some heat and also doubles as added range of movement when casting all day!
The new Cascade Jacket from Just Another Fisherman is an absolute standout—built tough, styled sharp, and ready for whatever the coast or backcountry can throw at you. This is the kind of gear that earns its place in your pack, not just because it looks good, but because it performs where it matters most.
First off, let’s talk about the build quality. The waterproof, breathable outer shell is the real deal. I’ve worn it through sideways rain, gusty riverbanks, and long treks through soaked bush tracks—it hasn’t missed a beat. It keeps you dry without turning into a sauna inside, which is no small feat.
The fit is dialed in just right. Roomy enough to layer underneath on cold mornings, but not so bulky that it gets in the way when you’re casting or scrambling down to the water’s edge. The adjustable hood offers solid protection and stays put in the wind, and the cuffs and zips are made to last—no cheap shortcuts here.
The pockets are designed with purpose. Whether you’re stashing fly boxes, warming your hands, or keeping your phone dry, the layout just makes sense. Every detail feels like it was made by someone who actually fishes—because it was.
What really sets the Cascade Jacket apart is its no-nonsense style. It’s clean, classic, and quietly confident—just like the JAF brand. Whether you’re heading out for a serious mission or a quick session before work, this jacket fits right in.
In short: if you fish, you want this jacket. It’s functional, durable, and built to handle whatever nature throws your way. The Cascade Jacket is a keeper.
Five stars. Easy.
