Brown 2S Wader

Product Information

Busted seams retire more waders than anything else. The 2S Wader limits that possibility by only having two seams, a body-length seam down the side and another that runs from below the zipper and up your back. We furthered that "less is more" approach by removing excess fabric that's prone to catching on the edges of boats and pit blinds. The 4-layer laminate blocks out all forms of moisture, but lets water vapor escape so things don't get swampy when temperature or output increases. The boot construction and face fabric are more than tough enough for run-ins with sunken trees and busting sheets of ice. Years of testing were aimed at delivering the one thing we all want, waders that last -- the 2S Wader.

Waterproof / Breathable Nylon Oxford 4-Layer Fabric: Provides superior abrasion-resistance, tensile strength, and long-term durability over traditional polyester. Waterproof rating of 20,000mm and breathability rating of 12,000mm. Includes C6 DWR finish on face fabric and Agion® antimicrobial treatment for odor control.
Mechanically Bonded Seams: Stitch-less seams in critical leg areas below the belt create a weld of the fabric, delivering a complete waterproof seal. These seams are flat, flush, and nearly invisible, and are placed on the outside of the legs, away from areas of high friction and wear. Premium seam tape backing throughout the wader is reinforced with woven fibers for extra bonding strength and reduced fabric separation during moments of stress and submerged pressure.
Digital Printing Technique: Unlike traditional camouflage patterns that are applied to polyester through heat transfer, our waders use a digital printing process that does not damage the integrity of the nylon fibers. This material has the natural, soft appearance of cotton without the synthetic gloss common on polyester garments.
Waterproof YKK® AQUASEAL® Front Zipper: Durable, size 10 zipper provides complete waterproof protection, and is built to withstand pressure for prolonged submersion in water. The front zipper is backed by neoprene to protect from unnecessary abrasion with the body.
Water-Resistant® YKK Pocket Zippers: Durable, size 5 zippers on all pockets provide temporary water-resistance during falls and missteps. These pockets are not designed to be submerged in water for long periods of time.
Zippered Chest Pockets: Two vertical, zippered chest pockets with water-resistant YKK® zippers provide both storage and protection for valuables like phones, wallets, keys, and snacks. Because the zippers are designed to be water-resistant only, these pockets are not designed to be submerged in water for long periods of time.
Zippered Hand Warmer Pockets: Two high hand warmer pockets are located behind the outer chest pockets. These are lined with a lofted fleece material to keep your hands warm and wick moisture away from your body. We increased the depth and angle of the pockets to create multiple zones, allowing for the storage of a few shotgun shells while still maintaining room to keep your hands high and dry above the shells.
Interior Storage Pockets with Magnetic Closures: Two interior pockets located on the chest provide additional storage via magnetic closures. These are an excellent location to drop less frequently used items like gloves and dog collar remotes. We opt for HotHands® in these interior pockets, as they remain dry and allow the heat to pass through to the front hand warmer pockets.
Adjustable Shoulder Straps: Constructed similarly to a 5-point harness used in rock climbing, these shoulder straps displace the weight of the wader from the top of your shoulders, distributing it evenly across your hips and core. The nylon octagonal webbing in the center of the back is double-stitched to the wader body. A neoprene shoulder yoke delivers enhanced comfort, while the multi-height adjustable nylon straps and metal slide buckle ensure a precise fit every time.
Belt: The belt is designed with rigid, textured nylon that allows the adjustable tri-glide to "bite", properly securing the belt in place. The belt also includes elastic stretch for enhanced flexibility and movement without sagging, and allows for additional layering as necessary.
Boots: The wader boots are constructed of 5mm neoprene with rubber overlaid on the foot and ankle with 1200g Thinsulate® insulation. The boots are comprised of a rubber, non-slip outer sole, an EVA midsole, and a removable inner sole - all working together to deliver superior comfort and durability.
Boot Covers with Vertical Drain Vent: The wader utilizes an additional cover over the neoprene upper of the boot that minimizes abrasion and puncturing of the highly sensitive, leak-prone area of many waders. The heel of the boot cover contains a vertical drain vent that allows water to quickly pass through as you lift your foot from the water, while an elastic base eliminates unnecessary drag from loose, excessive material.

Waders

"Over priced for what they are fit is tight in chest and feet"

— Shane F. (3/5)

Zipper handle break

"Well if you want the truth the little handle thing for the zipper ripped off when I was zipping up my waders. The zipper was not caught on anything. This was probably on my 4th hunt with the waders. Not the biggest deal but kind of a bummer. I didn’t not even feel like I was pulling that hard either."

— Will N. (4/5)

Best Wader I've ever worn !

"With 2 weeks left in the season, i was forced to purchase new waders because my 1 yo replacement waders started leaking in the same spots as the previous. After careful research and hearing praise about CHENE and their warranty i made the purchase. The last 2 weeks have been brutally cold and challenging with many spread moves and spending a lot of time in the ice water. I have been very impressed with comfort and durability of the 2S waders so far !!!"

— JOHN A. (5/5)

Don't hold up at all

"I've been through two sets of 2S waders this season. My first set leaked out of the box and the replacement set has had splits in both boots and the zipper pull tab has broken. You'd think for $1300 they would hold up better but neither set has survived as long as even my notoriously unreliable Banded waders did. They are comfortable and Chenes customer service has been nice enough (though definitely not the do anything to make stuff right attitude I've heard about from them), I hunt around 45 days a season though and can't be dealing with my waders going down constantly. Thank God for the lifetime warranty because you're going to need it."

— Aaron D. (1/5)

Worth the price

"Have owned multiple waders in varying expenses. This is by far the best wader made. Zipper holds and the boot is the most comfortable I have ever warn. Material is comfortable and tough. Worth every penny for this reliable wader."

— William S. (5/5)

Great buy!

"Very comfortable and light. Boots feel great. Worth the money for the warranty that comes with it alone!"

— Justis B. (5/5)

Wader review

"Love everything about the waders, but one problem is the rubber piece on the end of the string connected to the zipper broke off after wearing like 5 times so it is extremely hard to zip and unzip them now. Very inconvenient"
