EXPLANATORY NOTE

Johnson Outdoors Inc. (the "Company") previously registered 10,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, $0.05 par value per share ("Common Stock"), together with an indeterminate amount of plan interests under Johnson Outdoors Inc. Retirement and Savings Plan (the "Plan"), on Form S-8 (File No. 033-61285) (the "Registration Statement") which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 1995.

All of the shares of Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement have been issued to the Plan and have been subsequently repurchased by the Company from the Plan and all such shares and all interests under the Plan originally registered on the Registration Statement are no longer issued and outstanding.  Accordingly, the purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is to terminate the Registration Statement and to deregister all of the plan interests originally registered thereby.  Additionally, the Plan has been amended to provide that no future contributions from Plan participants to the Plan may be invested in shares of Common Stock.
