Notes from our Product Development Team

Field Testing For Real-Life Performance

“When we design performance apparel, it better meet the needs of our severest critics—the anglers, adventure travelers, and professional guides who we work with daily. We field tested our Jackson Quick-Dry bottoms for months in the heat of the Florida Keys, on and off boats, and on rugged mountain trails.”
