Taimen Ponoy Wading Jacket - Plum
A proven wading jacket in a refreshed design
Taimen Ponoy Wading Jacket - Plum is the new version of one of our proven models. Ponoy has been sold for many years, and now returns with a refreshed look while keeping what anglers valued most: simplicity, functionality and readiness for real use on the water.
This wading jacket is designed for anglers who need practical protection against rain and wind, without an overly complicated construction. The cut works well with waders, does not get in the way while fishing in the river and allows easy access to essential gear.
The Taimen Ponoy fishing jacket is made from fabric with a three layer membrane. The nylon outer layer provides good durability for everyday fishing use, while the membrane protects against water and wind and keeps the breathability needed during active fishing.
Large chest pockets are designed to hold fly boxes and are protected with flaps for better cover in rain and difficult weather. The jacket also features attachment points for a wading staff, a D-ring for a landing net and practical points for accessories that should always stay close at hand.
The Plum color gives the jacket a deep, calm and distinctive look. It is a strong choice for anglers looking for a reliable wading jacket with a practical set of features and a clean, functional design.

1. Choose the right size and check the fit before use
Choose the size according to the model's size chart. Check the fit by trying the jacket on over the actual underlayers you will use with it and fastening it. Check freedom of arm movement and whether the material is under excessive tension at the back, under the arms or at the joins. Adjust the cuffs, hem and hood if the model has those adjustments. A jacket that is too tight can restrict movement and cause excessive strain on the material and joins. One that is too loose can form folds and increase rubbing, accelerating material wear.
2. Clean the jacket after use.
Gently remove mud, sand and other dirt with a sponge or soft cloth. After contact with salt water, rinse the dirty areas with clean fresh water. Do not use hard brushes or a pressure washer.
3. Prepare the jacket for washing.
Empty the pockets and detach any attached accessories. Close the zips and hook-and-loop fasteners as instructed by the care label. Remove grit and dirt from the fasteners to reduce wear.
4. Wash according to the care label
Wash the jacket in lukewarm water. Use a detergent intended for membrane garments and suitable for the material. Follow the temperature and washing method recommended on the label. Do not use fabric softeners, bleach or solvents. Rinse out detergent residue thoroughly.
5. Dry the jacket completely.
Dry the jacket completely in a well-ventilated place, protected from intense sunlight and away from heaters and other sources of high heat. Use a tumble dryer or iron only if permitted by the care label, and follow the stated settings.
6. Zipper care
Regularly remove grit, mud and other dirt from the zipper elements and slider area using clean water and a soft brush or cloth. After contact with salt water, rinse the zippers with fresh water and leave them to dry. Open and close them smoothly, without jerking or using excessive force. Check that the jacket fabric or underlayers do not get caught between the zipper elements. If a zipper jams, slide the slider back and gently clear the obstruction. Do not force the slider through. Do not use arbitrary oils, greases or solvents. Use zipper-care products only if they are suitable for the particular type of zipper and according to their usage instructions. Repair a damaged zipper or use a professional repair service.
7. Maintain the outer-fabric treatment.
If water stops beading and begins to soak into the surface, clean the jacket first, then renew the DWR treatment if needed with an agent appropriate to the model. Activate the treatment with heat only if the jacket's instructions permit it. The treatment does not repair a damaged membrane or fabric joins.
8. Store in a dry, ventilated place.
Store the jacket only when it is completely dry, preferably hanging freely. Do not store it damp in a closed bag or tightly compressed for a long time. Avoid hot cars, heaters and sunny locations. Prolonged moisture and high temperatures may accelerate the degradation of materials and joins.
9. Respond to the first signs of wear
Regularly inspect the fabric, seam taping, cuffs and zips. Repair any damage before further use. Do not wait until abrasion, delamination or a zip problem leads to a larger failure. For repairs, use methods and materials intended for repairing membrane garments, or use a professional repair service.
