More durable than ever before, this is the titan of the flyway.

BOZEMAN, Mont. (June 2, 2025) – Designed to endure the harshest treks through timber, flooded cornfields, and any obstacle standing between waterfowl hunters and the X, SITKA’s all-new Delta Pro Zip GTX Wader sets a new standard in waterfowl gear. Engineered for uncompromising durability and comfort, it features the toughest GORE-TEX construction SITKA has ever built, delivering maximum protection without sacrificing mobility.

Each element of the Delta Pro Zip GTX is designed for durability, comfort and all-season versatility. Constructed with rugged, 100% waterproof, four-layer GORE-TEX Pro laminate making it 10% more resistant to punctures and 200% more abrasion resistant for added protection in the harshest conditions. Offering industry-leading breathability for the entire season, it features a durable YKK waterproof AquaSeal® center front zipper, a customizable suspension system to eliminate unnecessary buckles and an updated CORDURA 320-denier kneepad overlay for increased functionality.

The wader’s upgraded boot design means a lightweight, extra-comfortable fit featuring an insulated build and EVA midsole for added cushion. The multi-surface rubber outsole is bolstered by a proprietary SITKA Apex Tread system for traction on any surface, while the rubber outsole provides a high energy return for all day comfort. At the end of the hunt, a new heel kick makes for easy removal.

“The Delta Pro Zip GTX Wader is the result of years of testing in the harshest waterfowl conditions we could find,” said Matt Carara, Waterfowl Product Line Manager at SITKA Gear. “We designed this wader to be more than just durable, it had to move with you, keep you dry, and hold up across every phase of the season. Whether you’re breaking ice in the Dakotas or grinding through backwater timber, this wader is built to handle it all.”
