From Korkers:
Slide In. Tighten Up. HatchBack
. Korkers releases it’s highly anticipated new boot system to specialty fly fishing retailers worldwide beginning February 27, 2017. Built on the foundation of their proprietary adaptable traction technology, OmniTrax
Interchangeable Outsole System, Korkers’ HatchBack
breaks new ground as the world’s first rear-entry wading boot system. The boot design was inspired by what anglers want most: sure-footed performance and extreme comfort. The rear-entry BOA®-assisted closure system makes slipping into this boot buttery smooth and incredibly easy. Korkers’ dynamic Flow Foam Fit System
provides a positive fit that keeps your toes controlled but allows for articulation and range of motion. This feature-packed boot also incorporates Korkers’ hallmark Internal Drainage System
in the midsole for rapid drainage of excess water and weight, as well as a protective features such as TPU guards at the toe, calf, and shin. Continuing with recent durability enhancements, the HatchBack
offers clean lines with Protected Stitching
that is recessed into molded grooves to reduce abrasion and wear.
“We debuted the HatchBack
to the fishing trade at ICAST and the response from both retailers and consumers has been overwhelming” says Korkers CEO Brian Chaney. “We have been fielding a high volume of calls every week from consumers who are anxiously waiting for the HatchBack
to hit retail shelves, and many of our retail partners have reported they have pre-sold over a half dozen pairs. Get down to your favorite local shop and try on a pair before they are gone,” Chaney added.
The HatchBack
is being sold exclusively through specialty fishing retailers only beginning March 1, 2017. The HatchBack
will be offered in sizes 7-15 and comes in two different sole package options: Black Felt and Kling-On ($239.99 MSRP) and Kling-On and Studded Kling-On ($259.99). Other industry leading performance soles such as AlumaTrax
aluminum bars, Vibram® IdroGrip, Studded Vibram® IdroGrip, Studded felt, and Studded rubber are available from Korkers and can be purchased separately.
