Grundens Dreadnought Jacket

Born for the commercial fisherman that demands rugged & tough, yet breathable waterproof protection, the Dreadnought Jacket was built as a tool to combat the extreme elements of the marine environment. As easily at home on the Bering Sea as it is in Bristol Bay, Dreadnought is constructed of an ultra-durable nylon ripstop fabric with a water-repelling Teflon shield DWR to boast impressive breathability and waterproofing performance. Heavy-duty lower sleeve reinforcements offer the abrasion resistance needed when working the deck and pulling pots while integrated neoprene cuffs provide a seamless union with gloves to prevent water from entering the sleeves. Complete with an adjustable hood, interior rain gutter, integrated body ventilation zippers, plus saltwater safe/corrosion resistant zippers & hardware, the Dreadnought Jacket is your one-stop-shop for rough weather, commercial-grade outerwear.
