POWER OF ATTORNEY
For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency
and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the
undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each
of Alisa D. Swire, Erik Hokanson, James M. Bedore
and Eric P. Hagemeier, and any of their substitutes,
signing singly, the undersigned's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to:

(1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned
(in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
thereunder (the "Exchange Act")), any and all
Forms 3, 4 and/or 5, and any amendments thereto,
that are necessary or advisable to report the
undersigned's transactions in and holdings of
the equity securities of Johnson Outdoors Inc.,
a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), for
purposes of compliance with section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act, (collectively, "Documents");

(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of the undersigned that may be necessary
or desirable to complete and execute any such
Documents and timely file such Documents with
the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission and any stock exchange or similar
authority; and

(3) take any other action of any type
whatsoever in connection with the foregoing
which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact,
may be of benefit to, in the best interest of,
or legally required by, the undersigned, it
being understood that the documents executed
by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of
Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such
attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such
attorney in fact full power and authority
to do and perform any and every act and
thing whatsoever requisite, necessary or
proper to be done in the exercise of any of
the rights and powers herein granted, as
fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally
present, with full power of substitution or
revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming
all that each such attorney in fact (or such
attorney in fact's substitute or substitutes)
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue of this power of attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted. The
undersigned acknowledges that each attorney
in fact, in serving in such capacity at the
request of the undersigned, is not assuming,
nor is such attorney in fact's substitute or
substitutes or the Company assuming, any of
the undersigned's responsibilities to comply
with the Exchange Act. The undersigned agrees
to defend and hold harmless each attorney-in-fact
(and such attorney in fact's substitute or
substitutes) from and against any and all loss,
damage or liability that such attorney-in-fact
may sustain as a result of any action taken in
good faith hereunder.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force
and effect until the undersigned is no longer
required to file Documents with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in
securities issued by the Company, unless replaced
by a subsequent executed power of attorney
covering the matters contemplated hereby or earlier
revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing
delivered to each of the foregoing attorneys in fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused
this Power of Attorney to be executed as of
this 10th day of September, 2014.
