Built Better^®.
Because Nothing Else Would Do.

Before we built anything, we looked at what was out there:
and saw everything we didn’t trust. Gear built to sell, not to last.

We were tired of patching up waders made by people who didn’t hunt like we do.
For too long, gear was made for shelves, not seasons.

So in 2021, we set out to fix it.
One wader. One promise; and innovation born where it matters, in the field.

We took it to the flooded timber. Pushed it to failure. Then rebuilt it stronger.

Because we weren’t building a brand.
We were building something we could trust.

And if you ask any serious duck hunter what matters most in the field:
it’s trust. Trust in your dog. Your spot. Your gun. Your gear.

We believed that if you build something for the right purpose,
you don’t have to find the right people, they find you.

And they did.

Hunters who chase the hunt, not the likes.
Who do it right, not the easy way.
And who trusts a brand that hunts like they do.

At Chêne, service isn’t an afterthought. It’s everything.

We’re not suits behind a desk. We’re hunters, same as you.
When you reach out, we pick up.
When something’s off, we fix it.

Because trust isn’t something we say,
it’s something we do.

Chêne is French for oak, the flooded timber’s backbone.
It’s where we cut our teeth.
And it’s where we test everything.
If it doesn’t survive there, it doesn’t deserve your hunt.
