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.
