Redington, the Latest Fly-Fishing Manufacturer, Introduces Eco Grip Feltless Wading Boot to Prevent Spread of Invasive Species

September 21, 2009 -- The Eco Grip™ is Redington’s first felt-less wading boot designed by Redington and engineered through an exclusive partnership with OTB. OTB developed the lugged and precisely razor-siped Tactical Rubber Technology™ to support their military customers and is yet another case of technology developed to support America’s Warfighters finding its way to the civilian market.

"Rubber-soled wading boots are an evolution in wading gear, since felt soles can be a cesspool for damaging aquatic microorganisms. In addition to helping prevent the Aquatic Hitchhikers (didymo, New Zealand mud snails, zebra mussels, whirling disease and other introduced nuisances) that threaten our waterways, the Eco Grip™ boots have many other notable features."

The Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers web site is part of the ANS Task Force public
awareness campaign and is sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and the U.S. Coast Guard.
