Designed from the ground up for anglers who fish in demanding conditions, the Grundéns Portal GORE-TEX Pro Wading Jacket combines premium waterproof protection with a wader-integrated design built specifically for serious time on the water.
Rather than taking a conventional rain jacket and adapting it for fishing, Grundéns designed the Portal around the needs of wading anglers. The result is a highly technical outer layer built for cold weather, deep wading, and long days when staying dry isn't optional.
The foundation of the Portal is a 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro laminate constructed with a rugged 100% nylon face fabric. This premium waterproof and breathable construction provides dependable protection from rain, spray, and harsh weather while allowing heat and moisture to escape during active fishing.
One of the Portal's most innovative features is its pass-through handwarmer pocket system. Instead of creating unnecessary bulk around the waist, the design allows you to access the handwarmer pockets on your waders underneath the jacket. It's a simple idea that makes considerably more sense when you're actually standing waist-deep in cold water.
At the cuffs, Grundéns uses a shingled neoprene cuff system designed to provide additional protection when your hands and arms are repeatedly submerged. Whether you're reaching down to land a fish, releasing one in the water, or dealing with rain and spray throughout the day, the cuff construction helps keep water from working its way up your sleeves.
Storage is equally fishing-focused. Fly-box-compatible chest pockets keep essential gear within easy reach, while an exterior pocket with a tippet feed-through provides convenient access to leader and tippet material. Water-resistant zippers on the handwarmer pockets add another layer of protection when wading deep.

A Wading Jacket Designed as Part of the System
What separates the Portal GORE-TEX Pro Wading Jacket from a traditional waterproof shell is the way it works with the rest of your fishing equipment.
Access to your wader's handwarmer pockets, fly-box-sized chest storage, integrated tippet management, deep-wading-friendly zippers, and specialized neoprene cuffs are all details designed around what happens once you actually step into the river.
For anglers who fish through cold rain, wind, deep water, and changing weather, the Portal combines the proven protection of GORE-TEX Pro with a thoughtful fishing-specific design. Pair it with a premium set of waders and you've got a complete outerwear system built for the days when the weather is at its worst—and the fishing may be at its best.
