AQUAZ Dry Zip PRO Breathable Waders (Front zips don't leak)

AQUAZ Dry Zip PRO Breathable Waders — 3rd Generation Front Zip

The AQUAZ Dry Zip PRO is the most advanced front-zip breathable wader in the AQUAZ range — and your best option if you want the convenience of front-zip entry combined with genuine premium construction. The 3rd generation design is lighter than its predecessors yet more robust, using the latest Japanese AQUALEX® technology throughout. The waterproof zipper is made in Germany using freon technology, setting it apart from the cheaper zips found on budget front-zip waders.

With 5-layer construction from the hips down, outer-leg seam placement, and stronger tricot bonding, the Dry Zip PRO is built to handle the abrasive riverbeds and demanding conditions of New Zealand trout fishing — season after season.

Why the Dry Zip PRO?

Front-zip waders live or die by the quality of their zipper. The AQUAZ Dry Zip PRO uses a German-made freon zip — the same technology used in drysuits and technical diving gear — rather than the standard waterproof zips found on cheaper alternatives. Combined with 3rd generation AQUALEX® construction and 5-layer leg protection, this is a wader built for anglers who fish hard and expect their gear to keep up.
