Rising Visor Beanie
Dylan Rothwell, the bright light behind Rising's
innovative product line, tells us how Rising's new Visor
Beanie came about.
"We first saw this style cap on snowboarders and immediately
hated them. Then, after four days of British
Columbia winter steelheading,
complete with driving
snow, we came
to appreciate the
visor. Once we
embraced the
concept, we tweaked
the bill and perfected the
yarn blend. The visor is the perfect length-not as long
as a baseball cap, not as short as a bike messenger cap. It's
long enough to keep the rain and snow off your face, and
short enough that it is still a beanie. Given its purpose,
we knew we needed wool. The 30% wool/70% acrylic
blend is the best combination between awesome wool
warmth when wet and lame-ass wool itch when hot.? See
it at Booth 470 ($25), or contact Rising, Dept. FFA;

Chota Abrams Creek II Waders
Priced at $165, the new Abrams Creek II waders from
Chota are an affordable alternative to premium waders,
while still offering a host of important features-like
integrated gravel guards; doubletaped,
form-fitting neoprene
stocking feet; articulated knees
with vented knee pads; fully adjustable
suspension system with
reversible, quick-detach buckles
that easily convert the waders to
waist-highs; adjustable wading
belt with quick-detach buckle and
integral belt loop; and a zippered,
flip-out internal security pocket.
The fabric system is a generic
3-layer laminate, consisting of
a Teflon DWR polyester outer
face fabric (150 x 75 Denier),
a monolithic PU breathable
membrane, and a nylon tricot
inner lining. The new Abrams
Creek II stocking-foot waders
will be available in February,
2008 in sizes S through XXL.

Freedom 14 Outrigger Fishing Kayak
No ordinary fishing Yak, the new Freedom 14 is the
first kayak designed from the waterline up to allow the
angler to safely and comfortably stand up while casting!
The magic comes from Freedom Hawk's patented,
integrated, lever-operated outriggers that deploy to the
sides like frog legs when needed, but align with the hull
when stowed, serving as the stern section.
Made in the USA from roto-molded polyethylene,
Freedom 14 standard features include a stowable casting
brace, stowable push pole, anchor boom, two watertight
storage compartments, lever-operated, quick-disconnect
outriggers, flush-mounted rod holders, detachable/collapsible
seat, side-mount paddle holder, and adjustable
foot braces. Available colors include sand, blue, olive,
yellow and lime. Also included is a 30-Day complete
satisfaction guarantee and a one year warranty. See it
at Booth 879 ($1,895, with free shipping), or contact
