Before The Giants Came | The Backcountry Skinz® Story

Before the Giants Came: The Backcountry Skinz® Story

Two brothers, one jet boat, and endless backcountry rivers.
What started as an obsession to escape sweaty waders turned into a mission to reinvent wet wading forever. Deep in the Canadian Rockies, every bend hides a glacier-fed pool and a shot at massive bull trout. This is where Backcountry Skinz® was born.

We built gear that moves like you do — the AIRBLITZ™ perforated neoprene leggings, Liquid Lockz™ waterproof socks, and SolarFlexz UVPro gear — tested while jet boating through freezing water, battling current, and pushing miles beyond the road’s end. No waders. No limits.

👉 Watch the story unfold: from garage prototypes to full production and the wild pursuit that sparked a movement redefining how anglers fish in cold water.
