Vision Pupa Wading Jacket – Strong Protection at a Fair Price
Choosing the right wading jacket is crucial for many fly fishers – it should reliably protect against wind and weather, offer freedom of movement, and ideally look good as well. With the Vision Pupa wading jacket, the Finnish manufacturer offers a model that meets all these requirements – and does so at an exceptionally attractive price. At our shop, you can get the jacket in the stylish 'rusty orange' color with over 40% off for under €200. A true recommendation in the sub-€200 price segment.
In this video, we present all the details of the Vision Pupa wading jacket and show you why it deserves our adh-recommendation!

Weatherproof Companion Thanks to Smart Materials
The Pupa wading jacket is made from Vision's high-quality F4 laminate, which is both waterproof and breathable. Whether on rainy autumn days or in stormy coastal weather – the jacket reliably keeps you dry. The full-length YKK AquaGuard VISLON® zipper is not only water-repellent but also particularly durable – ideal for tough conditions by the water. At the same time, the high-cut fleece collar offers reliable protection against wind and cold drafts, while the multi-adjustable hood provides additional comfort.


Freedom of Movement and Comfort
What matters most in a wading jacket: unrestricted mobility. The Pupa scores here with ergonomically pre-shaped sleeves and a sporty fit that doesn’t feel restrictive. Long double-haul casts are made easier thanks to the comfortable construction. Velcro sleeve cuffs and an adjustable waistband ensure that neither water nor cold can get in. What we particularly like: the adjustable cuffs are hidden inside the sleeve under the durable outer material. This way, the fly line has no chance of getting snagged anywhere.

Clever pocket system and thoughtful details
The Vision Pupa is also well thought-out in terms of functionality: two large chest pockets with water-repellent zippers offer space for fly boxes, tippets, and other accessories. Additionally, there are two warm handwarmer pockets – a real advantage on colder days. Inside, the jacket offers an extra pocket, for items like licenses, a mobile phone, or keys. D-rings for attaching tools or accessories are also included – along with a practical lens cleaning cloth on a clip inside the left chest pocket. Overall, the features are comprehensive and tailored to the needs of fly fishers who want to keep their essential tools well organized.
