My First Catch

Here's Margaux, daughter of RailRiders' founder and president John d'Arbeloff, with her very first catch--a blue gill taken from Lake Monomonoc, in Rindge, New Hampshire. She used a 6wt fly rod and wooly bugger fly. And her apparel? Her dad's RailRiders/Flies and Fins Men’s Hydro-Zip-T.
The Brotherhood of the Traveling Pants
Little did I know that when I created the Versa-tec pants in 2007 that it would become RailRiders most popular seller. It’s often hit or miss in the apparel game, so it feels good when you hit a home run. Or at least a standup double. These pants were originally designed for the military and hunters, but its appeal has grown to include building contractors, schoolteachers, electricians, wildlife researchers, and factory foremen. It’s a guy’s guy kind of pants. ( No women’s sizes or style just yet.)—John d’Arbeloff
