What the maker says
- TIDEWE says a fan-shaped chest and harem-style pants are meant for freer movement and to help keep water from pooling.
- Reinforced knees and a durable polyester camo shell (TIDEWE).
- Adjustable suspenders and waist belt (TIDEWE).
Who it's for in Texas
A zip-front breathable bootfoot wader for Texas duck hunts, including cold mornings when you still have to walk in. For another zip-front insulated option, see the Drake Guardian Elite page.
