Simms M's Challenger Insulated Jacket

When the mercury plummets and the sky opens up, serious anglers know that the right gear can make or break a day on the water. Enter the Simms Challenger Insulated Jacket, your new best friend for those chilly, wet days chasing trophy pike and musky. This jacket isn't just another layer; it's an angler's suit of armor against the elements.

The Ultimate Shield: Simms Challenger Insulated Jacket

Designed with relentless attention to detail, this jacket features a waterproof 2-layer Toray® fabric that acts as an impenetrable barrier against rain and spray. Fully taped seams ensure no sneaky droplets find their way inside, while high-loft PrimaLoft® Rise insulation delivers unmatched warmth without unnecessary bulk. The result? A lightweight yet cozy haven that keeps you focused on your cast, not the cold.

The zip-off removable hood is engineered for high-speed boat runs and horizontal rain, complete with a 3-point adjustability system to snugly fit your noggin. And when it comes to comfort, the freestanding collar lined with brushed tricot feels like a warm embrace on your neck.

Built For Anglers By Anglers

No detail has been overlooked in crafting this piece of essential musky fishing apparel. The exterior Velcro storm flap guards your center-front zipper from treacherous weather, while dual chest pockets safeguard your valuables and keep them within easy reach—one even includes a tethered sunglasses chamois for those rare but glorious moments when the sun peeks through.

Your hands will find solace in welted, zippered hand warmer pockets lined with soft brushed tricot. Inside waist drawcord adjustments offer a custom fit to block out wind and spray. Modified sleeve construction allows full range of motion as you set hooks and battle beasts, secured by hook-and-loop tab cuff closures.

A straight front hem paired with a drop tail ensures extra protection where you need it most. And because safety is paramount on icy waters, there are snap flaps on each shoulder designed to secure ice picks—because we know true esox enthusiasts don't let winter stop them from landing monsters.

Fabric technology is at its peak here: The shell boasts 2-layer Toray 100% nylon 70D waterproof material treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent), while insulation comprises PrimaLoft® Rise in strategic weights throughout the body, sleeves, collar, and hood. All wrapped up in a moisture-wicking polyester taffeta lining that keeps you dry from both outside moisture and internal perspiration.

Whether you're braving early spring downpours or late fall snow squalls, the Simms Challenger Insulated Jacket stands ready as your fortress against fierce weather conditions—so you can focus on what really matters: landing that elusive giant pike or musky of your dreams.
