Dive Bomb Industries is known for its waterfowl equipment that is innovative and decoys. Now, the company has expanded its outdoor performance offering with a line of breathable waders. These aren’t made to look good in a display. They’re for marshes and snowbanks. They’re for ponds that have froze over.
Durability that lasts over the long haul
The distinctive feature of these waders is the 4-layer material, which allows for a balance between durability and flexibility. It’s not rigid or awkward and still provides a protective layer against cold and freezing. The reinforced seams, heavy-duty construction and thick material will keep you warm during long hikes, or walking across iced water.
Even in near-freezing temperatures the insulation and the fabric blend to trap body heat without causing the clammy sensation typically found in heavier versions. This is a major benefit in dealing with snow waders that are designed to work for long periods of time in the field.
Function-Driven Features
Function is at the forefront of each design choice. The two front-facing zippered storage pockets that are waterproof and have a convenient access. Snow, rain, and even full submersion cannot get into these pockets protecting valuables and tools safe and dry.
Boot cuffs are equipped with sewn-in drain grommets that actively keep water from accumulating and other particles. While it may appear to be an insignificant feature, the few seconds you save clearing dirt or reeds could mean the difference between a perfect shot or an opportunity missed.
Insulated boots designed for extreme conditions
One of the things that stands out in this Divebomb review are the boots that come with an insulated boot. They’re made for winter conditions and offer consistent warmth without compromising traction. Slippery surfaces such as icy patches or the muddy creek bed will not be able to compete with the traction and stability offered by.
Fit remains secure with no constriction and allows for easy mobility in the thick terrain. The ability to move swiftly while comfortably traversing snow-covered slopes or flooded fields proves essential for active hunting.
Built to last, Designed to blend
The style and design of the waders are a reflection of their intended purpose. Simple and earthy, the style avoids excessive bulk, while providing just enough coverage to blend in with natural surroundings. The design isn’t distracting, no matter if you’re crouching down in cattails or in a treeline. This is the reason why snow waders don’t appear attractive. They’re built to disappear to the background, while the focus remains on the hunt.
Value that is more than what you expect.
What surprises many outdoorsmen is the blend of top-of-the-line features with a price tag that is affordable. A high-quality hunting equipment usually comes with a high price tag however, Dive Bomb provides quality, style and sturdiness without extending budgets beyond the limits. This is a rare item of top-quality equipment that isn’t out of reach.
The performance speaks for itself after long usage in freezing water rough marshy terrain or snowy terrain. They are water-proof enough for extreme weather conditions to provide the comfort, security, and practicality season after season.
