Wind & bug protection
ULBC Tactical Jacket is a lightweight, windproof jacket with excellent breathability and freedom of movement—perfect for hiking and fishing. It is part of our Ultra Light Back Country (ULBC) concept, designed for anglers who want to reach the best waters where no roads go, with smart weight‑ and space‑saving solutions. This jacket has been an instant favourite for many of our employees, Ambassadors and customers. It has that light, airy feel that just makes it so great to wear, and with a thin midlayer underneath it is perfect also for those windy, high activity days in the mountains or by the water.Insect & sun protection
Made from tightly woven nylon, the fabric blocks mosquitoes and other insects without added chemicals—ideal in the mountains of Lapland, but also in tropical settings where biting bugs can be a real annoyance. The jacket also provides UPF 50 sun protection, important in southerly latitudes and equally valuable in alpine terrain at higher altitudes.Durable, quick‑drying fabric
Constructed from thin yet durable nylon, the material resists abrasion and pilling, making it a dependable choice under heavy backpacks. It dries quickly to keep you comfortable through changing conditions. The bluesign®‑certified fabric ensures environmentally responsible production with restricted use of harmful chemicals.Fit & features for moving fast
A loose cut preserves mobility and leaves room for a mid-layer while maintaining a sleek profile. The hood has an elastic edge that seals out insects without restricting head movement; elastic cuffs and hem block wind and protect your wrists and lower back.Angler‑focused details

How to measure
Our body measurement charts help you select the correct size of your Guideline garments. Use the provided size charts based on your body measurements, not the garment's. Ensure accurate measurements with a snug, not tight, tape. You should be able to put a finger behind the tape, but no more than that. For foot length, stand against a wall and measure from heel to longest toe.
Remember, our chart is a guide; trying on items in-store ensures the best fit. Fishing clothing fit is personal, reflecting preferences for loose or slim styles. Consider additional layers for cold weather fishing when choosing your size
Key measurements: A - Chest, B - Waist, C - Seat, D - Arm, E - Outseam, F - Inseam, G - Foot.
On the front, two vertical YKK™-zippered pockets provide easy access to medium fly boxes, while a Hypalon docking station keeps your small tools or pliers right where you need them.
The D‑ring at the neck lets you attach a net for quick access.
