Built for anglers who demand serious durability but want the convenience of a zip-front design, the Grundéns Vector Zip Stockingfoot Wader takes everything that makes the Vector a hard-use wader and adds a fully waterproof front-entry system and an innovative approach to fishing storage.
Designed with guides and anglers who spend extensive time on the water in mind, the Vector Zip uses an ultra-dense microfiber 4-layer waterproof/breathable shell engineered to provide exceptional abrasion and puncture resistance. With a 30K+ waterproof rating, it's built for the kind of fishing that involves more than simply stepping out of the truck and into the river.
At the center of the design is a TI-Zip MasterSeal 10 waterproof front zipper. The fully submersible zipper makes getting in and out of your waders considerably easier while adding everyday convenience on long fishing days.
Grundéns' proprietary Wading Mobility Patterning helps the wader move naturally whether you're covering miles of river, climbing steep banks, navigating rocks, rowing, or kneeling to release a fish. Integrated 4mm molded Ortholite knee pads provide additional protection and comfort without the bulk of traditional external knee pads.
One of the Vector Zip's most distinctive features is the patent-pending HAULER™ POCKET system. Water-resistant YKK AquaGuard rear pockets provide storage around the back of the wader, helping move bulky gear away from the front of your body where it can interfere with casting. Fly boxes, personal gear, and other essentials can stay close at hand without loading down the front of the wader.
Grundéns rounds out the storage system with two chest storage pockets, two hand-warmer pockets, and welded tippet pockets with laser-cut dispensing holes, giving fly anglers quick access to frequently used gear while on the water.
Anatomically shaped, size-specific stockingfeet use TiAlpha warming neoprene for additional cold-water comfort, while abrasion-resistant double-weave stretch gravel guards protect the lower wader and help keep debris out of your boots.

Rugged Construction Meets Zip-Front Convenience
The Vector Zip is made for anglers who expect their waders to take some abuse.

For anglers looking for a rugged, premium zip-front wader with excellent mobility and fishing-specific storage, the Grundéns Vector Zip Stockingfoot Wader delivers a combination of durability, convenience, and functionality built around spending more time on the water.
