High N Dry Floatants founding members, Vince, Dennis, and Ken, had known each other for many years and, in fact, worked for different companies that competed against each other. They were brought together each year by a mutual associate to fly fish in Montana and they soon developed life long friendships. During one of their trips, they were enjoying dinner and discussing the day’s events. The topic moved to floatants and how most of the products on the market were either harmful to the environment, didn’t work, or both. With two of the founding members being talented chemists, they knew they could make better products than what was available.

The first step was to scientifically evaluate all available products. Over time they noticed that the performance of the existing floatants was poor and most were solvent based, flammable, and environmentally unfriendly. They paid close attention to the design approach, materials used, and performance of each product.  Armed with this information, the team was able to develop the most advanced, highest performing, solvent free products available.
