Explore Chêne Gear

Boots, Belts, & Straps

We believe that your gear should keep you in the field as long as you want to be there and not what drives you back to the fireplace at camp.

Our expectations were not some lofty ideals or unreachable goals; they were not complex. We wanted waders that don’t leak. That’s it.

You can't learn the things we've learned about waders from a manual. It comes from years of experience in the woods.

The leading question we’ve received has been “what makes your waders different?”. It's time to divulge the secrets behind Built Better.

Built Better inspires every component we’ve chosen and the placement of every stitch; right down to the zippers.
