Alpha Northern Flight Series
LaCrosse introduces a new series of waders for fall 2007.

LaCrosse waders are recognized as the best in the industry, the Alpha Northern Flight Series proves that the best can get even better. Also featuring LaCrosse's Alpha Technology, the series maintains the foot hugging fit and flexibility of neoprene and durable rubber for ultra support and comfort in the boat, blind and water. The ultimate inspiration for the Alpha Northern Flight Series is the new Chest Pack that allows for all the bells and whistles of a high-end wader, but because it's detachable, it doesn't get in the way when mounting a gun.

with all Alpha Northern Flight Waders and is also sold as a separate
