Whitewater Fishing and Fish Monkey team up on the Stealth Dry-Tec Glove — built for the raw days when wind and water try to shut you down |

MUSKEGON, Mich. (July 28, 2026) – There’s a point in autumn and winter fishing where the cold stops being a nuisance and becomes the whole story. Fingers go numb. Grip goes soft. Every cast gets a little sloppier than the last. Whitewater Fishing teamed up with Fish Monkey to make sure that point never comes for you. Say hello to the Stealth Dry-Tec Glove, the cold-weather anchor of the Whitewater x Fish Monkey collab. Whether you’re chasing walleyes in late October or tying a dock line in January, this glove is built to keep hands dry, warm, and in control. Most cold-weather gloves make you pick two out of three: warmth, feel, or protection. The Stealth Dry-Tec refuses to play that game. Sealed Against the Elements Wind and water are the two things that end a cold-weather fishing day early, and the Stealth Dry-Tec shuts both out. At the core of that protection is HIPORA, a three-layer microporous membrane engineered with pores small enough to block water but large enough to let sweat and body heat escape. In plain terms: your hands stay dry on the outside without turning into a swamp on the inside. That combination matters more than it sounds. A soaked glove doesn’t just get heavy. It loses its grip, its warmth, and its feel, all at once. HIPORA keeps moisture out from the start, so everything else about the glove keeps working the way it’s supposed to, cast after cast, all day long. |

Sealed at the Wrist The details don’t stop at the palm. A neoprene cuff with a Velcro closure seals out drafts and keeps water from creeping in at the wrist, which is often where cold-weather gloves fail first. Cinch it down and the whole system stays sealed, even when you’re elbow-deep in the fast water on a rough day. Warmth Without the Bulk Underneath the shell, 40g Thinsulate™ insulation does the heavy lifting. It’s a lighter weight in the Thinsulate lineup, enough loft to fight off a raw morning on the water without piling on so much bulk that you lose feel for the rod, line, or fish. Fish Monkey landed on 40g specifically to hit that balance: warmth without the stiff, clumsy hands that come from over-insulated gloves. That’s what separates a glove you can actually fish in from one you just survive in. You stay warm enough to last the day, and dexterous enough to put a minnow on a jig or set a hook when it counts. Dexterity That Doesn’t Disappear A pre-curved finger design keeps the glove working with your hand instead of against it, cutting down on fatigue over a long day. Whether you’re tying knots or working a lure hour after hour, your hands stay comfortable instead of cramped. Add a “Monkey Grip” palm for confident handling on rods and reels in wet conditions, plus touchscreen-compatible index fingers, and you’ve got a glove that never has to come off just to check your electronics. Built on a Proven Partnership The Stealth Dry-Tec isn’t Whitewater and Fish Monkey’s first collaboration, and it shows. Fish Monkey built its name on gear that survives real fishing seasons, not just showroom photos. That reputation carries straight through into this glove. It follows the same playbook as the brands’ Pro365 Guide Glove and Half Finger Guide Glove. Durable materials. Purposeful design. Zero wasted features. “We wanted a glove that didn’t ask anglers to choose between staying warm and staying functional,” said Doug Veldhuizen, Whitewater Merchandise Manager. “The Stealth Dry-Tec keeps hands protected from the elements without sacrificing the feel and dexterity anglers need on the water.” |
