Grundens Vector Stocking Foot Wader - Anchor

Molded knee pads. 4-layer puncture-resistant laminate. The boulder-field wader.

The Grundens Vector is the premium stockingfoot wader designed by ex-Simms and ex-Orvis wader designers, built specifically for the rugged shoreline and boulder-field wading the Northeast saltwater scene demands. The standout feature is the molded-in knee pads — the protection serious surf and jetty anglers have been asking wader brands to build for years. The all-new puncture-resistant 4-layer wader laminate is among the toughest we've handled, designed for the rocky environments where shore-bound anglers actually pursue their fish. Proprietary mobility patterning means you can move through boulders and climb up jetty walls without fighting the wader. Anatomically shaped, size-specific warming stockingfeet round out the build.

Why We Like It

We've asked every wader brand we work with to build molded-in knee pads — for years. Grundens listened and delivered. If you fish jetties, rocky shorelines, boulder fields, or anywhere that involves kneeling on rough ground to land or photograph a fish, the Vector is the wader. The 4-layer puncture-resistant laminate is the other big upgrade: typical 3-layer breathable laminates get punctured eventually in rocky water, and the Vector's construction means you'll get many more seasons before that happens. At $499 it's a serious wader, but the kind built for serious wading.
