Description
The CrossCurrent Zip GTX is Sitka's top-tier, front-zip chest wader, built with a waterproof, breathable 4-layer GORE-TEX Pro laminate running the full length of the wader -- upper and lower alike -- for maximum durability season after season. A YKK AquaSeal center-front zipper provides a fully watertight seal while making entry and exit dramatically faster than a traditional pull-on design.
The chest pocket system includes a magnetic one-hand access pocket and a secure zippered pocket, plus zippered handwarmer pockets and dual internal mesh storage pockets for organizing smaller items without added bulk. A customizable, padded suspension system with air-mesh lining offers breathable comfort with fast, precise adjustment, and a concealed stretch elastic wading belt adds a quick, low-profile secure fit. Stretch-woven gravel guards, a low-profile tool dock, and integrated knee pad sleeves compatible with Sitka's own knee pads round out the build. Anatomically engineered 5mm neoprene stockingfeet deliver durability, cushioning, and fit.

Size Guide
Sitka sizes the CrossCurrent GTX by waist and inseam, with Short and Tall inseam options built into the larger sizes, plus an independently selected Stockingfoot Size.
1. Measure your waist where you normally wear your pants, keeping the tape a bit loose.
2. Standing up, measure your inseam from crotch to where you want the wader leg to break at the top of the shoe.
3. Note your regular street shoe size.
4. Match your waist and inseam to the closest row in the Sizing Guide below.
5. Select a Stockingfoot Size — 9-11 or 12-14 — based on your street shoe size, independent of body size.

FAQ
Who are these waders for?
The CrossCurrent Zip GTX is Sitka's top-tier, front-zip chest wader, built for anglers who spend season after season in demanding conditions and want a full-height wader with fast, easy entry. A center-front zipper replaces the pull-on/suspender-only design of most waders, making it faster to get in and out without sacrificing chest-high coverage.
What is the 4-layer GORE-TEX Pro construction?
Unlike the non-zip CrossCurrent GTX, which zone-maps a lighter 3-layer upper against a heavier 4-layer lower, the CrossCurrent Zip GTX runs the same waterproof, breathable 4-layer GORE-TEX Pro laminate throughout the entire wader -- built for anglers who want maximum durability everywhere, not just at the legs.
What is the YKK AquaSeal center-front zipper?
A YKK AquaSeal zipper runs down the front of the wader, providing a fully watertight seal while making entry and exit dramatically faster than removing suspenders and stepping in leg by leg. It also simplifies layering mid-day, since the wader can be opened and adjusted without fully removing it.
What's included in the pocket and suspension system?
The chest pocket system includes a magnetic one-hand access pocket and a secure zippered pocket, plus zippered handwarmer pockets and dual internal mesh storage pockets for organizing smaller items without adding bulk. A customizable, padded suspension system with air-mesh lining offers breathable comfort with fast, precise adjustment, and a concealed stretch elastic wading belt adds a quick, low-profile secure fit.
