Paramount Outdoors Meridian Z Zippered Breathable Stockingfoot Wader (XX-Large) | Fly Fishing Chest Waders

Meet the Paramount Outdoors Meridian Z, a zippered, breathable stockingfoot wader designed for anglers who want dry comfort and flexible movement throughout long days on the water. The 100% waterproof and breathable construction helps maintain a comfortable microclimate, even as the river fog lifts and the sun climbs. The front opening uses a German-engineered TIZIP Masterseal 10 zipper for a water-tight seal and easy on-and-off, while still offering airflow when you need it.

Rugged build and seam design are at the core of Meridian Z. The wader features a 4-Ply puncture-resistant nylon upper and a 6-Ply full wrap lower leg, delivering durable protection where it matters most. A single seam crotch design further reduces chaf and potential leak points, helping you stay dry and focused on the cast. The zippered front opening provides convenient access and enhanced ventilation when you’re moving between kneeling, crouching, and wading in variable water temperatures.
