Forge Wader

Waterfowlers are notoriously hard on their gear, and we built the Forge Waders to withstand seasons of abuse from hardcore hunters by eliminating the most failure points with a never-before-seen one-piece design and minimal seaming. Simplicity was the inspiration behind designing a wader that failed less, but that didn't stop us from loading the Forge Waders with features like the exclusive LaCrosse Alpha Wader boot, internally bonded neoprene knee pads, and Hypalon MOLLE platforms to customize your waders with accessories like FHF Gear pouches and shotshell holders.

We spent more than four years building, testing, rebuilding, and retesting these waders across 11 states in the harshest environments we could find—because when it comes to waterfowl gear, we know that “failure” simply isn’t an option.

Features

• Burly 4.5 layer nylon waterproof breathable body fabric keeps out water and breathes to keep you more comfortable.
• Patent-pending, one-piece design minimizes seams and potential failure points—constructed with a single continuous inseam in the legs.
• YKK Aquaseal submersible center front zipper enables easy layering.
• Mapped OrthoLite O-Therm Aerogel foam throughout the seat prevents contact heat loss.
• Exclusive LaCrosse Alpha Wader Boot is the tallest in its class at 14" for enhanced shin protection, and features 1000 gsm of PrimaLoft Gold, an Aerogel toe cap and a tough Vibram outsole.
• Heavy-duty elastic suspenders and wading belt with lo-pro crush resistant buckes.
• Water-resistant zippered chest pockets have MOLLE platforms that are compatible with FHF Gear accessories.
• Dual chest D-rings are designed to attach handwarmer muffs and boat kill switch lanyards.
• Dual magnetic high-hand pockets seal shut when not in use and are self-draining.
• Oversized D-ring on the waist keeps decoy carabiners handy.
• Internally bonded neoprene knee pads provide extra protection without adding seams.
