New Stuff From Patagonia For 2012

Patagonia Inc., the outdoor apparel company, announces two brand new wading footwear innovations for Spring 2012 – The Rock Grip Aluminum Bar Boot and River Crampon. Developed in the original Chouinard Equipment blacksmith shop in Ventura, California, these products are the direct result of Patagonia founder/owner Yvon Chouinard’s development work and tinkering over the last year.

“In late summer 2010 in the same blacksmith shop where we revolutionized the ice crampon for mountaineering, I assembled the first prototype of the River Crampon and cobbled together a pair of boots with aluminum bars,” notes Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia Inc. founder/owner, “The boot and crampon have been heavily tested over the last year on the Columbia, Madison, Kispiox, Skeena, Dean, Ponoi and many other rivers that provide challenging wading conditions. Everyone involved in the testing agreed that they would never go back to studs or felt soles, as the aluminum bars offer a level of security that can not be matched. The testers, myself included, feel naked wading without them.”

Inspired by the mountaineering crampon but adapted for the river, the River Crampon (MSRP $199 USD) is the fishing industry’s most innovative traction device for wading. The performance is derived from soft, malleable aluminum bars which are riveted to a burley, stainless steel adjustable frame with highly corrosion resistant brass rivets. The soft aluminum cuts through weeds and moss on the slickest of river bottoms and grips rock like no other traction device. The crampon can be used with most wading boots on the market.

The Rock Grip Aluminum Bar Boot (MSRP $239 USD) utilizes similar technology but is a full featured wading boot with permanently affixed aluminum bars on the outsole of the boot to provide superior support and traction in extreme wading conditions. Other features include a compression-molded EVA midsole and polypropylene insole for rigidity and support and a highly abrasion-resistant toe bumper with a reinforced toe box for protection. Additionally, testing shows that the aluminum bars are much easier on boat interiors than traditional cleats.

“I have over 100 days on the water testing Patagonia’s new Aluminum Bar technology, fishing in some of the most difficult wading in the lower 48 like the Bear Trap Canyon of the Madison and Box Canyon of the Henry’s Fork,” notes Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies and Patagonia ambassador, “I can honestly say that this represents a breakthrough in wading technology. I have been able to wade safely and confidently to areas on the river that I had not previously been able to reach in my 30 years of fishing these home waters. This technology is a game changer.”

Products will be available January 1, 2012. USA PATENT PENDING

Product Review- Sol Patrol Shirt, Houdini Jacket

 

 The Patagonia Sol Patrol Shirt was a bit of a shocker for us when it arrived late this week. 

It offers all the features we wanted in a high tech shirt for a significantly lower price.

Its lightweight, quickdry, has a lot of venting and a UPF rating of 30 but only costs $90!

If your planning a trip to somewhere warm or just want a new fishing shirt, this one offers the technical advantage and comfort for less bucks.

 

The Houdini Jacket rocks our socks too! Its insanely light and packs down into its own pocket and fits into my palm. The DWR coating makes this jacket highly water resistant while being completely breathable. It is prefect for anglers that want emergency rain gear without the weight or space or as a flats jacket!

Product Review- Rio Gallegos Wader

These new waders are flying off the shelves and for good reason!
Winner of the "Best New Clothing" Award at the 2010 European Tackle Trade Show.

The 3 layer H2No fabric with a Deluge DWR finish is light, very breathable, waterproof (thank goodness) while being highly durable and puncture resistant. The inside seams have been moved outwards and reinforced with a abrasion resistant tape to prevent excess wear from seams rubbing together.

  

I'm really looking forward to the removable neoprene pads on the inside of the knees. No more sore or bruised knees from kneeling down!

 

The suspender system is attached at the waist rather than the chest allowing you to wear them as either a chest wader or waist wader with a quick, simple conversion. The wader also features a highly water resistant pocket on the inside of the chest ensuring your cell phone stays dry while fishing even if you take a dip! An external check pocket is large enough for a fly box or spare tippets and an accessory caddy makes attaching your forceps or nippers easy and isn't intrusive or will get in the way.

 

Possibly my favorite feature on these waders is the merino wool booties which are cool in warm weather while helping warm up your toes in cold weather. The built on gravel guards have a "drain" so you don't carry water around with you.

I'm really looking forward to getting out and fishing more in these waders. Best of all? They cost only $499, not bad for top end waders. As a Patagonia product they also come with the peace of mind knowing that you have an Ironclad Guarantee, if your not happy Patagonia isn't happy!

Come on in and see them in person!
