Trudave Gear: Our Story and Product Evolution
Gear Up, America—Trudave Has You Covered, From Sea to Sea
2017: The Birth of Our Brand and the Start of an Adventure
2017, Trudave Gear was founded by Trudave, who recognized a common problem faced by outdoor enthusiasts—ineffective and uncomfortable waterproof gear. As a passionate hunter and fisherman, Trudave experienced firsthand how existing waterproof gear failed to meet the demands of harsh environments. Whether in freezing snow or slippery mud, traditional boots and gear just weren't comfortable or durable enough.
Our first product was created to change that. We focused on designing waterproof boots and gear specifically for hunters and anglers in the U.S., who need high-quality, durable equipment that can withstand extreme conditions. Based on the needs of American hunters and anglers, our first batch of products went through rigorous field testing to ensure they met the real-world challenges of the outdoors.
2018: Product Upgrades and Field Testing Begin
In 2018, we ramped up our innovation efforts and decided to expand our range with more waterproof gear specifically designed for outdoor activities. During this time, our deck boots and muck boots became standout products. We incorporated advanced waterproof technology into these items and optimized the sole design to handle more challenging terrains.
The Inspiration Behind the Design:
-
Hunting Boots : To provide better protection and comfort for American hunters, ensuring stability even in wet and muddy conditions for extended periods.
-
Deck Boots : To meet the needs of anglers on slippery decks, we added anti-slip features to ensure stability on wet surfaces.
2019: Market Expansion and Innovation
In 2019, our products gained increasing recognition among outdoor enthusiasts, and our brand influence continued to grow. We introduced the all-new Waders, specifically designed for anglers, hunters, and field workers who spend extended periods standing or working in water. Our design philosophy focused on making water-based activities more comfortable and safe.
The Inspiration Behind the Design:
-
Waders : Designed fully waterproof waders to help anglers and hunters stand in cold waters for extended periods, while ensuring freedom of movement.
-
Deck Boots : Took the waterproof boot design to the next level, making sure they're not only waterproof but also cold-resistant, slip-resistant, and comfortable.
2020: Strengthening Our Product Line and Boosting Brand Awareness
In 2020, Trudave Gear continued to enhance product quality and comfort, making breakthroughs in waterproof technology. We not only improved the comfort of our Muck Boots but also reinforced ankle support, providing stability for long hours of work and activities in harsh environments.
The Inspiration Behind the Design:
-
Muck Boots : Designed to tackle the damp, muddy conditions common in the U.S., especially in agriculture, construction, and forestry, our muck boots have become an essential piece of gear. We've added extra thickness to enhance their protective features.
-
Waterproof boots : Waterproof Boot Series: Based on user feedback, we've optimized our existing waterproof boots to improve comfort and durability, ensuring your feet stay dry for long periods.
2021: Expanding Globally and Diversifying Our Product Line
In 2021, we will not only increase our marketing efforts in our home market of the United States, but also expand into the international market through our online platform. We have introduced more specialized gear for professional hunters and anglers, including highly customised waterproof boots and wading pants more suitable for extreme environments.
