Overview
Built for wet, demanding work in the field, these chest waders are designed to keep hunters and other outdoorsmen dry when conditions turn rough. The 100% waterproof, heavy-duty rubber construction is paired with abrasion resistance and ozone resistance for use in hard-wearing environments, while the Trac-Lite outsole is intended to help on wet and slippery surfaces. Inside, insulated foam rubber, an 8 mm wool felt insole, and a removable EVA footbed add warmth and cushioning, with a canvas lining for durability. Rubber-reinforced knee and belly patches and a steel shank round out a practical design for serious use, though the pair’s weight is worth considering for all-day wear.

- The Trac-Lite outsole is designed for wet and slippery surfaces, yet traction still depends on the footing and conditions you encounter.
