Grundens Transmit X Jacket

15K/10K waterproof/breathable. Neoprene cuffs. Built for spring through fall fishing.

The Grundens Transmit X is the high-performance foul-weather jacket built for anglers who need real waterproof protection without overheating. The 15K/10K waterproof/breathable rating delivers serious wet-weather performance while still letting moisture out, which means you can fish hard on a wet 65-degree spring day without finishing the trip drenched in your own sweat. Internal neoprene wrist cuffs seal out water that climbs up your sleeves when you net a fish or reach into the wash. Fully adjustable hood fits over a baseball cap. Three colors, sized M through 2XL.

Care & Use

• The 15K/10K rating is the sweet spot for spring/fall fishing — warm enough to keep you dry, breathable enough to not sweat out
• For deep winter or sustained rain, layer with a fleece underneath; the Transmit X breathes well enough to handle the extra warmth
• Re-apply DWR (durable water repellent) after every 20-30 wears to keep the shell beading water
• Hand-wash or gentle machine cycle in cold water; tumble dry low to reactivate DWR
• Avoid fabric softener — it kills the breathability

Why We Like It

Grundens has been making foul-weather gear for commercial fishermen since 1911, and the Transmit X brings that commercial-grade durability into a recreational-friendly cut and weight. The 15K/10K waterproof/breathable rating is the spec that matters — cheaper rain shells get clammy after an hour of work, and this one doesn't. We point spring striper guys toward this jacket when they want serious protection without the bulk of a full commercial foul-weather suit.
