Behind The Design

The leading question we’ve received has been “what makes your waders different?”. It's time to divulge the secrets behind Built Better.

Behind The Design

We believe that your gear should keep you in the field as long as you want to be there and not what drives you back to the fireplace at camp.

Behind The Design

You can't learn the things we've learned about waders from a manual. It comes from years of experience in the woods.

Behind The Design

Built Better inspires every component we’ve chosen and the placement of every stitch; right down to the zippers.

Behind The Design

Our expectations were not some lofty ideals or unreachable goals; they were not complex. We wanted waders that don’t leak. That’s it.
