Top 5 Duck Hunting Waders
Looking for a great pair of duck hunting waders for your next hunting trip? We’ve put together a list of the best duck-hunting waders chosen by our Customers! Here is a brief overview of what to look for in your next pair of waders.
Breathable vs. Neoprene
While there are many people who debate breathable vs neoprene waders, both styles will do an adequate job of keeping you dry this season. Breathable waders are generally more lightweight and allow sweat and moisture to escape, while neoprene waders are generally heavier and provide impressive insulation. Here is an overview of some of our Best Breathable Waders for Duck Hunting.
Insulation
Deciding on whether or not you need insulated waders is another important factor when selecting waders. Uninsulated waders can be great for early-season hunts, and layers can be worn underneath when the weather gets cold. Insulated waders ensure warmth for late-season hunts and may be your best bet if you hunt in a state with frigid winter months.
Boots
While duck hunting waders generally come with boots attached, selecting waders with a quality pair of boots can be beneficial to comfort. If you plan on doing a good amount of walking in your waders, having comfortable boots that fit well is a must.
Pockets & Pouches
When you’re hunting wetlands, you’ll definitely want secure pockets and pouches to store your gear. You’ll find waders with handwarmer pockets, gear pouches, call pockets, and shell loops to keep you organized in the duck blind.
Camo
When you’ve found the perfect hunting spot and the right pair of waders, the last thing you want is to have your hunt ruined by being detected. Having the right camo pattern for your environment can increase your duck hunting success and help you blend in with your environment. Choose from patterns like Waterfowl Timber, Realtree Max-7, Mossy Oak Bottomland, and more.
Brands
At MidwayUSA, we carry several popular brands of waders. Each brand has its own benefits, ranging from pricing to features and quality materials. Some of these brands include Sitka Gear, Drake, LaCrosse, and Banded!
Sitka Gear Men's Delta Zip Front Insulated Breathable Boot Foot Chest Waders
Waterfowl hunters deserve to have a set of waders that can excel year in and year out, throughout the duration of the season. So Sitka set out to build the Sitka Gear Delta Zip Breathable Chest Waders. Constructed from GORE-TEX Pro Laminate, the face fabric offers added durability and is breathable in active working conditions while completely sealing out rain and snow. The center YKK AQUASEAL Zipper makes these waders incredibly easy to take on/off and is 100% waterproof. Insulated boots give you a form fit without the need for a bulky sock, and the treads will handle the slickest rocks, mud, or snow. The boots are also attached to the wader with advanced heat-activated technology, creating a streamlined weld joint. Zippered, water-resistant chest pockets secure essentials while high hand-warmer pockets deliver instant warmth. Plus, adjustable no-buckle suspenders won’t interfere when shouldering your shotgun.
Features
- Lightweight, durable, and comfortable insulated boots add warmth and agility when trudging through the muck and are attached to the wader with advanced heat-activated technology to create a strong and streamlined weld joint
- A durable and completely waterproof zipper allows for an easy on and off
- The shins and knees are reinforced with a rugged foam pad to endure years of abuse breaking ice and busting through the brush
- A streamlined suspension system eliminates cumbersome buckles and makes custom fitting lightweight and easy to use
- Two zippered storage pockets provide easy access to store essentials
- High handwarmer pockets are positioned to shed water away from the pocket and provide easy access to keep hands warm and ready
