A safety jacket (10) comprising a buoyant vest (12) including a front portion (16) to be located adjacent the chest of a wearer and a rear portion (18) to be located adjacent the back of the wearer. A rod support is provided comprising a support member (32) pivotally connected to a lower edge of the front portion (16) having an aperture (34) for receiving an end of a fishing rod.

A rigid frame is sealed in a waterproof manner to a pair of pants and/or waders, where the frame forms a frame aperture separating an outside from an inside of the pair of pants and/or waders. A rigid lid is pivotably connected to the frame and configured to engage the frame aperture. The rigid lid in an open position allows access through the frame aperture and the rigid lid in a closed position does not allow access through the frame aperture. A seal is disposed between the frame and the lid forming a waterproof closure of the frame aperture when the lid is in the closed position. A latch is pivotably connected to the frame and configured to retain the lid in the closed position. A spring is disposed between the latch and the frame, the spring biasing the latch to retain the lid in the closed position.
