Jackets & Vests

Waterproof & Windproof Waterfowl Jackets and Vests

The right waterfowl jacket makes the difference between a comfortable hunt and cutting one short. AVES waterfowl jackets and vests are built to cover every condition serious hunters face: variable mid-season days, cold rain in the blind, wading flooded timber, and brutal late-season cold that demands full waterproof protection and core warmth. Pair any jacket in this collection with AVES Hunting pants and bibs to build a complete layering system for your season.

Waterproof Shells, Insulated Jackets, and Vests for Every Phase of Waterfowl Season

This collection covers four options built for different conditions and hunting styles. The Drifter Jacket is the versatile mid-weight option: Toray Primeflex 4-way stretch, DWR water resistant coating, pit zips, and multiple pockets for shells and calls, built to move with you through the field without binding across the chest or arms. The Drifter Vest runs the same construction for hunters who want core warmth and mobility without the weight of full sleeves. The Wading Storm Shell is the dedicated waterproof shell: Dermizax EV membrane, fleece-lined adjustable hood, magnetic chest pocket, MOLLE straps, and Velcro wrist cinches, delivering full windproof and waterproof protection without bulk. The Bering Kinetic Jacket combines Dermizax EV with Toray 3DeFX+ 90g synthetic insulation for hunters who need warmth and waterproof protection in a single piece during the coldest conditions of the season.

Why Serious Waterfowl Hunters Choose AVES Jackets Over the Rest

Dermizax EV on the Wading Storm Shell and Bering Kinetic Jacket delivers breathable waterproof protection that manages sweat on the retrieve as well as it blocks rain in the blind.
