Product Information

In the spirit of continual innovation, the 2S Wader is a tangible expression of our mission to construct gear that is Built Better. Re-engineered with performance in mind, the 2S Wader now delivers more waterproof protection by eliminating critical seams and decreasing contact points. As its namesake suggests, the 2S Wader features only two seams: a full-body-length seam running down the outside of the wader and a crotch seam. Enhanced rubber chemistry in the boot provides stronger, more durable construction and increased lifespan, all without an increase in weight or a decrease in insulation. We included the same 4-layer construction for a superior combination of waterproof and windproof protection, as well as breathability.

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 are 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, Chêne Gear waders digitally print camouflage patterns utilizing a cold 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.

Late season purchase

"So far everything works. Much easier putting it on and off. I missed having shell holders and the zipper is very difficult to use. I look forward to using for next season."

— elmer n. (4/5)

Great Waders so far

"These are light and easy to get on and off, especially using the zipper. I expected them to be cold due to no insulation. However, with a pair of long johns on, I broke ice in them and I never got cold. I especially like the fit of the boots. Very comfortable waders and boots."

— Lee F. (4/5)

Best waders out there

"Best waders on the market by far and even better customer service"

— Ryan S. (5/5)

"Good"

— Scott (5/5)

Awesome

"Really like the 2S waders, got the XL am 6’1” 225. I have the other brand Ska waders and the are a L and are tighter fitting and strain my back a lot even when I was around 210. These are not a tight fitting which I think is more comfortable all round. The only thing I would change is to maybe put knee pads but we’ll see how they hold up. Extremely comfortable and well built. Like the zippers on the side pockets a lot. I think all mzippers are waterproof too although haven’t tested."

— Patrick (5/5)

"They’re good waders im not really sure what makes them special to be so expensive. I didnt realize the body on them were un insulated also."

— Breeze (5/5)

Excited to Try

"Just got these today. Going to take them out for a test run tomorrow. Initial reaction/ opinion these waders are as advertised. The boots are extremely comfortable. The inseam for me is a bit long making the legs a little bagging but it will give me extra room getting in and out of the blind. I am 5’9” 225 and normally wear at 32 inseam. These are just a bit longer. Overall very impressed and will update this review after a few hunts."

1st Class

"I have bought several items from Chene. They have all been great including my waders! There is not a better, more durable, more comfortable set of waders anywhere. Also, the customer service is the BEST!!!I would like to see a 4X sizes along with a camo pattern for more northern climates that hunt slews, rivers and prairie grasses!"

— Jon S. (5/5)

Best Wader Period.

"Worth the investment. I’ve used em all and I’ll tell you “built better” isn’t just a motto it’s the standard. Best customer service too!"

— Cameron W. (5/5)

Favorite wader

"The new 2S wader has been my favorite wader I’ve ever owned. I work in waders year-round for various photoshoots. Having a pair of waders that can keep me dry and comfortable no matter the weather says a lot. They can handle tons of abuse. Highly recommend!"
