The breathable duck hunting wader with two seams instead of dozens.
“I used to go through a pair a year. Have tried many different brands and Chene waders are the most comfortable and the most durable waders I have ever worn.”
Bradley H. - Verified Buyer
Fits true to size over base layers. Between sizes, size up. Tall (T) adds length through the torso and inseam, not just overall height.

Built For
Cut to shoulder through buckbrush and stand waist-deep till the last volley. The center zip vents the walk in.
Mud pulls hardest at seams and boots. Two bonded seams and deep-lug soles give it nothing to grab.
Late splits, skim ice, long sits. 1200g Thinsulate boots and a shell that layers as cold as it gets.
The 2S Story
Busted seams retire more waders than anything else. So we started by deleting them. Where a typical wader carries dozens of stitched seams, every one a future leak, the 2S carries two, mechanically bonded and stitch-less. Fewer seams, fewer failure points, more seasons.
The rest of the build backs it up: a 4-layer waterproof-breathable shell rated 20,000mm / 12,000g, a YKK AQUASEAL center zip, and boots insulated with 1200g Thinsulate. The shell is uninsulated on purpose. Layer light in September, heavy in January.
Key Features
20,000mm waterproof, 12,000g breathable. Dry from the outside, not soaked from the inside.
Waterproof entry. Vent on the walk in, seal up in the hole, answer nature without undressing.
Insulation lives where you can't layer. Built for ice, timber, and long sits.
Load rides your shoulders square. No sag by the third hour, no strap-hunting in the dark.
Sheds rain, spray, and dog-shake all day. Renewable at home in the off-season.
Fights season-long funk so the truck ride home stays civil.
Tech + Specs
The shell is an uninsulated, waterproof-breathable barrier — you layer for the conditions. The boots carry the insulation. That's the answer to "will I be warm enough": as warm as you dress it.

The waterproof zip that makes entry a relief valve, not a liability.
Weight rides square on your shoulders. Nothing digs by the third hour.
Deep lugs shed muck. 1200g Thinsulate rides inside.
When the sky opens up
Third split. Green timber, gray light, water in the low thirties. This is the morning gear gets found out, and the morning we build for. For too long, waders were made for shelves, not seasons.

Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the questions hunters actually send us — the same ones that show up in search.
The body is an uninsulated, waterproof-breathable shell so you can layer for the conditions. The boots are insulated with 1200g Thinsulate. For late season, add insulated bibs or fleece wader pants underneath.
Tall sizes add torso and inseam length, not just height. If you carry your height in your torso and legs rather than only in your inseam, a T size is the one that fits.
Yes. Boot sizes run true to your shoe size. Wearing a heavy wool sock all day? Size up one.
The 2S Wader is the chest-high wader for timber and big water. The 2S Wading Pant is the waist-high version for shallow water and warmer sits. The Youth 2S Wader is the same build, scaled for kids.
They're water-resistant, not waterproof. The YKK pocket zippers shed rain and shrug off a misstep, but the pockets aren't built to be submerged. The AQUASEAL center zip is the waterproof one.
Rinse, hang them dry out of direct sun, and store them hanging rather than folded. Renew the DWR at home before the next season.
We repair them in-house under the lifetime warranty, about 7 business days from the day they land with us.

"If I could give these waders 100 stars I would. Wore these waders for the first time this weekend veteran waterfowl days, mud water and boat rides here in North West Wyoming, and I am beyond excited no leaks and easy to move, had the water level within two inches of the top and stayed bone dry, the boots are super comfortable and warm 10 out of 10 satisfaction."
"We bought this pair during the summer so they haven’t been used yet. This rating is based off the two previous pairs we have and they are great! I hate chest waders and Chene are the only ones I have ever owned that I don’t mind wearing at all. They are light and comfortable without the movement restrictions that have been an issue with all other brands. Cheap, no; worth the cost……Definitely!!"
"Season has yet to really get fired up but I do like them a lot and can’t wait to hunt them regularly. Been in Sitka for a few years and made the switch this year. My son got a pair last year and I’ve been wanting me some for a while. Enjoy your products so far."
"Very comfortable! They are breathable and very durable and customer service 10/10, they are the only pair of waders iv owned that fit correctly and the boots are actually comfortable"
"I’ve been looking for years for a pair of waders that will fit a short girl like me, and I am so glad I finally caved and bought these. A couple of Chêne sales people at a convention helped me find a size that will fit me and explained how they are supposed to fit in the field and I ordered some soon after getting sized. I know these are going to withstand the test of time and I’m so excited to try the out in action."
"Fits like a glove and just feels like it’s well put together! Looking forward to duck season with these! Tried other brands before and have heard nothing but positive things about this company!"
"Great quality. Chene actually has sizes that can fit women. I tried to find a Sitka that would fit my size and boot but was not able to. This fit perfectly! Can’t wait for this duck season!"
"Boot seam leaked first time I put them in water. Sent back and new pair should be here today. Customer service was good. Hopefully the second pair are better."
"Haven’t had the chance to get out yet but my prior experience has been excellent. Customer service is top notch as well."
"I am a woman who began duck hunting just a few years ago & I have struggled HARD with my waders. Too short in the stride, too big & floppy (and too long) in the chest, not warm enough, just overall not ideal. I did my homework, I asked around & kept hearing over & over again that Chene waders were superior in quality and fit to all other brands when it came to female hunters. So I put that to the test & tried on every other brand of wader I could get my hands on, saving Chene for last. I should have just tried them on first & not looked anywhere else. They are 100% perfect in all aspects. Love the product, the team who helped me get the right pair and the customer service!"
