First Lite Gear - Forge Wader - Typha

Waterfowlers are notoriously hard on their gear, and we built the Forge Wader to withstand seasons of abuse from hardcore hunters by eliminating the most failure points with a never-before-seen one-piece design and minimal seaming. Simplicity was the inspiration behind designing a wader that failed less, but that didn't stop us from loading the Forge Wader with features like the exclusive LaCrosse Alpha Wader boot, internally bonded neoprene knee pads, and Hypalon MOLLE platforms to customize your waders with accessories like FHF Gear pouches and shotshell holders.

We spent more than four years building, testing, rebuilding, and retesting these waders across 11 states in the harshest environments we could find—because when it comes to waterfowl gear, we know that “failure” simply isn’t an option.
