Dear Friends, Customers, and Supporters,
We did not want to increase prices this year, but with such large increases in costs being passed on, to simply maintain operations we have no choice but to adjust our pricing. With costs increasing across the board this year in the form of increased taxes (tariffs), high interest rates, continued rising inflation, shipping cost increases, and more we are unfortunately left with no other option.
In an effort to minimize the impact, we are limiting price increases as much as possible. The S14, Primo Zip waders and Session GD wading pants are increasing in price by about 8% this year. New pricing on select products will go into effect on September 3rd, 2025.
Pricing for all other products will not be changing at this time.
The increases on the three products listed above will help to offset some of the cost-related factors mentioned above, and will help us continue to operate in a sustainable manner.
We refuse to sacrifice quality for cost
As a small business, we do everything in our power to keep our prices fair for our customers, and to offer high-quality and feature packed products. At no point will we ever sacrifice quality or features for cost savings, as it is important to everyone who works here at DRYFT to offer the best possible products to our customers. We load our products up with features, use high-quality materials, and then each finished product undergoes extensive quality control and testing before shipping out. We can’t skimp on any step of the process and are committed to offering the best value on the market.
The bottom line
As a small business with limited resources, this is a difficult situation for us to navigate, and as we do so we want to sincerely thank all of our customers for their support and ongoing patronage. Part of our mission is to increase access to the outdoors for the next generation of anglers. Raising prices is not our idea of how to do that, but with costs increasing so much we are left with no choice if we want to keep the doors open.
We appreciate you taking the time to read all of this, and we really appreciate your support and patronage.
Thank you,
Nick Satushek
Co-owner
