“The Gambler and Windward are next level products in our continued development of concepts partnering with GORE-TEX,” says Grundéns CEO David Mellon. “Our entire Fall collection has been designed with the unique needs of the professional and sport angler in mind, ensuring optimum freedom of movement, warmth and protection from the elements. We’re excited to bring these new products to market with our continued expansion of footwear and GORE-TEX products.”
Grundéns flagship tournament angling set, the Gambler jacket and bib, are built to perform on the biggest stages of professional bass fishing. Designed to optimize waterproofness, comfort, and mobility, both pieces feature rugged 100% nylon face fabric with a GORE-TEX C-Knit Backer.
The jacket utilizes GORE-TEX TOPO Stretch across the shoulders and back for flexible mobility and a submersible shingled cuff design that keeps water out of the sleeves even when reaching into the water. The bib has a stretch woven upper back suspender panel for mobility, dual zippered hand warmer pockets, and angled thigh pockets that are still accessible while seated on a casting pedestal. The jacket is available in two colors for $499.99 MSRP while the bib is available in one color for $479.99.
The Windward GORE-TEX Infinium Insulated Jacket is the brand’s warmest insulated jacket and is designed to maximize wind protection and warmth. Body-mapped GORE-TEX Infinium shell fabric offers wind and rain protection while two types of Primaloft Insulation, Silver in the upper, and ThermoPlume Silver with CrossCore in the lower, provide synthetic warmth. The jacket is available in two colors for $349.99.
Engineered to deliver comfort, performance and durability, the Grundéns Freeboard Leather Chukka features a rubber freeboard overlay for additional waterproofing and protection, full grain leather upper and a sipped natural gum rubber outsole for exceptional grip on wet surfaces.
