FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from brand owners and procurement teams starting their fishing pants program.

Yes. Zip-off convertible styles are one of our most requested configurations. We engineer the zip-off seam to align with the trouser leg silhouette and offer both nylon and metal zipper options. The shorts portion can be designed to function as a standalone style in your line.
Absolutely. Knee panel placement, size, layer count, and fabric weight are all specifiable. We commonly produce double-layer ripstop panels, rubberized overlays, and stretch-insert knee constructions depending on the end-use terrain.
Yes. DWR coating is applied during finishing at our facility. We offer standard DWR as well as PFC-free formulations for brands with sustainability requirements. DWR performance ratings are available on request.
Yes. Pocket placement is one of the most frequently customized elements in our pants programs. We work from your design brief or can recommend layouts based on your target end-use — river fishing, fly fishing, or multi-day expedition styles each have different utility needs.
Yes. We source and manufacture with mechanical 4-way stretch wovens as well as bonded stretch-shell constructions. These are popular for fly fishing and hiking-to-fishing applications where freedom of movement is critical.
