Grundens began protecting fishermen from the elements nearly 100 years ago on the west coast of Sweden, where, in the small fishing village of Grundsund, Carl A. Grundén began producing waterproof oil skins for North Sea fishermen.
Grundens remains true to those roots, while offering protection to all levels of fishermen from commercial to recreational fly anglers. This is evident in Grundens’ new gear for Spring and Summer 2025, which offers a mix of commercial grade, lifestyle, and fly-fishing apparel. Here are some of the highlights for Northeast anglers.
Turbulence Hybrid Hoodie
Much more than a cotton hoodie, strategic, body mapped G-Loft stretch insulation regulates temperature which makes this piece functional as a standalone hoodie or a mid-layer. The outer shell is a recycled stretch polyester that features specialized treatments to repel water and wind and enhances tear resistance for ultimate protection from the elements, while quick-drying double-weave extended cuffs reduce water pick-up and strengthen the forearm zones. Complete with a large, vertical zip chest storage pocket and multiple zippered hand-warming pockets.
Vector Zip Stockingfoot Wader
Grundens continues to expand their wading collection with a new zippered version of their Vector waders. The Vector Zip Stockingfoot Wader features a fully submersible zipper entry wading system and patent pending fishing features. The patent-pending “HAULER POCKET” is a water-resistant rear pocket system that allows for full 360° storage of fly boxes or personal gear. Additional fishing-focused pocket features like welded tippet pockets with laser cut holes allow you to easily rig up on a moment’s notice.
Deck-Runner Ankle Boots
Offering the lightweight comfort and support you love from everyday sneakers with the waterproof protection and durability of a rubber deck boot, the Deck-Runner aims to provide all-day wearability with fishing performance versatility. A lightweight, high-rebound EVA midsole that keeps you focused on fishing and not your feet during hours spent on the water. Enhanced with thermo-regulating properties to keep feet cool when things heat up, this performance deck boot offers excellent traction in variable conditions with its razor-siped gum rubber outsole. Complete with HeiQ Anti-Stink treatments and a neoprene ventilation system.
Tough Sun Masked Hoodie
The toughest sun shirt on the water, UPF 50-rated Tough Sun offers anglers breathable sun protection with increased snag resistance for extra longevity both on and off the water. Built to withstand the elements hot fishing environments, this hard-working UV shirt provides an integrated face mask with laser-perforated holes to maximize protection from the sun and comfortably stores when not in use. Integrated thumb holes keep sleeves in place for back-of-hand solar protection, and HeiQ anti-odor, thermal regulating, and stain-release treatments increase Tough Sun’s easy-care, comfort qualities. Grudens is so confident in Tough Sun, UPF-50 sun shirts that they put a Lifetime Warranty behind them. If the shirt fails, they’ll replace it, no questions asked.
