Meet the Primo™ Zip 
The wader built to go where others can’t — without slowing you down.

Primo™ Zip Wader features at a glance

• The 2026 season wader features longer ripstop neoprene gravel guards.
• Upgraded fabrics for greater breathability and long term durability. The heavyweight 4L lower is up to 50% more breathable compared to previous styles with exceptional abrasion and tear resistance and enhanced bonding strength for greater long term durability.
• Upgraded seam tape structure in key areas throughout the waders such as fully double taped seams from the waist down with triple taped seam ends.
• Burly German engineered TIZIP® fully waterproof main zipper. This zipper is found in use on top consumer products ranging from scuba diving gear to rescue equipment and is paired with a front zipper cover flap to help keep dirt and debris out.
• Eight pockets including the waterproof media pouch and large inner drop in mesh pockets. Four outer zipper pockets (two main and two hand warming) feature YKK® water resistant zippers. Please note that outer pockets are not waterproof and are not submersion rated. Keep your phone sealed in the waterproof media pouch or an inner pocket.
• Fully waterproof (20,000mm+ rating) fabric with Pfas-free DWR.

Performance + Comfort
Designed with comfort in mind, the Primo Zip waders use a premium TIZIP® fully waterproof main zipper to help take the production out of mid fishing session bathroom breaks, and makes getting in and out of your favorite pair of waders oh so easy. The strong and durable four-layer lower from the waist down includes a single vertical seam design with seams running up the outside of the legs to eliminate seam abrasion when walking. The burly heavyweight four-layer lower joins a comfortable lighter fabric upper with plenty of secure storage pockets on the outside and inside, including a media pocket and dual large drop in pockets. Adjustable straps, belt, and upper drawstring let you dial in the fit, and flexible knees give freedom of movement allowing you to walk, run, crouch, wade, stumble, and crawl easily without restricted movement. Zippered fleece-lined hand warming pockets double as extra storage, and an adjustable Comfortflex™ semi-stretch wading belt, a nylon webbing non-stretch wading belt, and storage bag are included.

Waterproof Design
Breathable, 20,000mm DWR coated waterproof fabrics combined with double taped seams bring the waterproofing to the next level. To top it off, seam ends and edges are triple taped throughout the legs to keep the water where the fish are.

Built to Last
Tear- and stretch-resistant neoprene gravel guards with boot-lace hooks increase abrasion resistance without sacrificing comfort. And because we’ve reinforced seams where it matters, these waders hold up trip after trip.

Zip Entry System
Powered by the TIZIP® MasterSeal waterproof zipper, the Primo Zip GD lets you step in easily, zip fully shut, and trust in waterproof integrity. No awkward stripping off outer layers in the rain — just smooth access when you need it most.

Eco + Safety
Our shell fabric uses PFAS-free DWR, because we believe in performance without compromising on environmental responsibility.

Bottom line
When comparing price to features, the Primo Zip waders stand tall above any feature comparable wader on the market.
