Gear Review: Magellan Outdoors Technical Windbreaker

WHAT IS IT?

Magellan Outdoors Pro Men’s Technical Windbreaker

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Constructed with polyester and spandex blend fabric, this jacket is made for lightweight comfort. While the Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish keeps moisture on the outside, UPF 50 protectant guards you during sunny times. Four pockets (two chest, two hand warmer) offer plenty of space for spare terminal tackle, sunglasses, cellphone, snacks, etc. The ventilated panels keep you cool with a breathable design. When raindrops fall, the attached hood with toggles provides adjustable coverage.

HOW DO I USE IT?

Some of our best fishing moments come during those mild, yet chilly mornings — not cold enough for the foul weather gear, but just a light covering to break the breeze. Similarly, that fine line between dealing with a light mist and putting on the extra weight of a heavy-duty rain suit makes you appreciate a well-constructed wind breaker. Magellan created just such an item with the Pro Men’s Technical Windbreaker.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT: 

This looks like a well-made, dependable, light-use jacket at a price that leaves plenty of budget for a few more baits. With its Flex technology promoting a free range of motion and a flexible fit, Magellan’s Pro Men’s Technical Windbreaker should integrate smoothly into any fishing technique. We’re expecting this one to be a good fit for paddlers with limited storage space, as the lightweight form will easily fold into a compact bundle that fits under your seat or in the hatch.
