That’s why we stock Paramount Outdoors at Lightweight Fly Shop. Built with comfort and toughness in mind (and priced with real-world anglers in mind), this brand is a go-to for both weekend warriors and die-hard river rats alike.


Built for the Wild: The Story Behind Paramount Outdoors

With over 90 years of outdoor apparel experience under their belt, Paramount Outdoors isn’t some flash-in-the-pan startup. They’ve been quietly outfitting hunters, fishers, and outdoor professionals with durable gear since the 1930s—and recently, they’ve been making serious waves in the fly fishing world.

Their focus? High-performance gear at honest prices. No unnecessary bells and whistles—just quality design, practical features, and dependable materials that hold up season after season.


Why We Carry Paramount Outdoors at Lightweight Fly Shop

We test everything before we put it on the shelf. And Paramount Outdoors? It passed with flying colors.

Here’s why we’re all in on this brand:

  • Bombproof waders that don’t leak after three outings
  • Supportive, grippy boots that don’t turn your feet into bricks
  • Comfortable hats that hold up to sun, rain, sweat, and repeat
  • All at prices that make sense—because great gear shouldn’t cost more than your rod

Whether you're gearing up for your first float or replacing that old, crusty pair of waders, Paramount Outdoors delivers gear that performs without the sticker shock.

Gear Tips: How to Get the Most from Paramount Outdoors Products

Here’s how to keep your Paramount gear in peak condition:

  • Wader care: Always hang dry after use. Store in a cool, dry place—no crumpling in the trunk!
  • Boot longevity: Rinse off mud and grit, especially after saltwater or muddy days. Let them dry completely between uses.
  • Hat fit: Hats come pre-formed, but if you like a looser or tighter fit, use steam or a damp cloth to shape the bill and crown to your liking.

And remember: Proper care means longer life and more days on the water without hiccups.
