The Orvis Men’s Ultralight Wader is the definitive "all-purpose" tool for the mobile angler. Engineered with a proprietary four-layer waterproof nylon shell, these waders provide professional-grade durability while remaining light enough to fit into a carry-on. Featuring unique mechanical stretch fabric, the Ultralight allows for unrestricted movement when scrambling down steep embankments or navigating rugged terrain.
