Hi, I'm Tim Doten with the Orvis Company. We're here on the banks of the Salmon River to talk to you today about our new pack and travel Sonic Seam waiters. It's a very unique waiter. We're utilizing a patent pending process where we actually weld the fabric together as opposed to sewing it.

What's the advantage?

But when you weld fabric together, it's immediately waterproof.

durability has nothing to do with the waterproofness. These waiters have a couple of

great features. We have a Neoprene gravel guard makes a nice tight seal around the top of your boot

Also have a lightweight removable suspender allows allows you to take that completely off,

roll the waiter down, use your waiting belt and make a waist high waiter if you're fishing on a

warm day or you're not waiting very deep.

And the best feature about these waiters is the fact that they pack down very small.

These waiters weigh just a little over two pounds in a size large

and pack down into a stuff stack just a little smaller than a loaf of bread.

you're packing a bag to go on an airplane and you've got to make that weight restriction,

this is an ideal choice.
