The Orvis Ultralight Wading System
Light on weight, heavy on performance, and field tested by Orvis guides, the Ultralight System is the ultimate solution for the traveling angler. The waders, wading boots, and rain jacket weigh less than 6lbs. combined and pack down to one cubic foot–yet they readily stand up to the toughest conditions.

“I had this jacket with me in Patagonia recently and experienced 5 days of non-stop rain, snow, sleet, and regular 30-40 mph winds. This jacket protected me from the elements in every way, was comfortable, quiet and at the price point, probably cannot be beat. Oh yeah—packs ridiculously small as well.”

Modern, sleek, and functional design that integrates perfectly with the concept of the Ultralight Wading System. The low-profile design keeps loads closer to the body and reduces the "layered bulk" of conventional vests. 11 pockets–6 exterior, 4 interior, and 1 rear.
