There's something comforting about the timeless design and utility of a classic fly fishing vest. So we took this tried-and-true favorite and brought it up to 21st century comfort levels. Our River Master II is built with modern 4-ply 100% Supplex® nylon that has a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and is lined with 100% polyester mesh to keep you cooler in hot weather and warmer in cold. The padded collar distributes weight and reduces fatigue on long days. A strategic mix of vertical and horizontal pockets organizes and secures enough gear to start a fly shop, while the large zippered back pocket and piggyback pocket haul lunch, rain jacket and other bulkier items. The adjustable front closure allows for varying levels of insulation and layering. For even more organization, the River Master II also features a sunglasses loop, accessory D-rings, a built-in forceps garage and Hypalon® accessory holder.
Deluge® DWR
Patagonia’s proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, Deluge DWR, lasts substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the Deluge DWR finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use.
