Description
Built without compromise, the CrossCurrent Zip GTX Stockingfoot Wader sets a new benchmark in protection, durability, and performance on the water. At its core is a waterproof, breathable 4-layer GORE-TEX® Pro fabric, engineered to withstand season after season of hard use in punishing conditions. The fit is precisely calibrated to enhance mobility and reduce underwater drag, while a padded, customizable suspension system makes this a wader that anglers will actually want to wear all day. We designed the pocketing system to keep tools and tackle secure, organized, and easily accessible with one hand. This wader wasn't built for fair weather anglers—it's for anglers who demand absolute confidence from their gear, no matter the water.

Outstanding Waders – Worth Every Penny
Review by Anthony B. on 6 Aug 2026 review stating Outstanding Waders – Worth Every Penny
I recently put the SITKA CrossCurrent Zip GTX Waders through a full week of fishing in Alaska, and they exceeded every expectation. I spent long days wading rivers, hiking to different fishing spots, climbing over rocks, and dealing with cold water and changing weather. At the end of the trip, I was still completely dry and comfortable.
The front waterproof zipper is a game changer. It makes getting in and out of the waders easy and is incredibly convenient during long days on the water. The 4-layer GORE-TEX Pro construction breathes exceptionally well, so I never felt overheated during hikes, yet it kept me warm and dry when standing in cold rivers for hours. The mobility is excellent—I never felt restricted while casting, landing fish, or scrambling over uneven terrain.
One feature I really appreciated was the thoughtful pocket layout. Everything I needed was easy to access without feeling bulky, and the built-in belt system stayed secure all day. The neoprene booties were comfortable, and after multiple days of use, I never experienced leaks, pressure points, or discomfort.
The biggest takeaway is the confidence these waders give you. Instead of worrying about getting wet or tearing them up, I was able to focus on fishing. After a demanding Alaska trip, they still look nearly new.
They're definitely a premium investment, but if you spend serious time on the water, the quality, comfort, and durability make them worth every dollar. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

My first wader
Review by Gilbert L. on 13 May 2026 review stating My first wader
This is my first wader. so I purchased it based only on specs. I want something durable that will last and I am familiar with GoreTex so I went with this brand. While in Tennessee, I visited the Sitka store. I had good Customer Service where I was able to try it on and get some more information about the wader. I will be trying these on this coming July 2026. And will provide updated feedback after usage.

Lightweight, flexible, waterproof, clever details
Review by Joe E. on 22 Apr 2026 review stating Lightweight, flexible, waterproof, clever details
Really like the fit on these waders (M Short, 5'9" 165 lbs) with plenty of adjustable features to get the fit just right. Wore them in the water and while driving to different spots.
I appreciate the durability combined with thinness. It's not super thin, but feels thinner than you'd expect with 4-layer Gore-Tex. Feels like they could withstand a beating.
The rear net loop is in a great location and feels like it'll last a while (hopefully forever), I like the concealed wading belt — less to snag on, and if you're rocking a hip pack with its own belt, there's just less going on which is nice.
There are more pockets than I first noticed — the hand pockets are pretty well hidden on the outer edges, which is nice because they're totally out of the way if you aren't using them.
The rubber hemostat stud/strip is well placed (being a right-handed angler) – there could have been a similar detail added for nippers, like a magnet or obvious spot for a retractor to attach, but no big deal if it's on your pack or vest.
All in all it feels like you're getting the best you can get, you just gotta log a ton of days on the water to justify the investment :)
