The DB Zip Waders are duck hunting waders that check all the boxes for functionality and practicality that any waterfowl hunter would ever need in their waders, with sleek aesthetics and colors authentic to our natural outdoor environment.

All components of the waterproof and breathable DB Zip Waders have been specified from top to bottom to ensure years of hard use while maintaining excellent mobility. These hunting waders are packed with functional and practical features you’re guaranteed to love.

The superior quality of the best duck hunting waders all starts with the Toray® FOUR-FLEX™ 4-layer upper and lower fabric. This material has a documented testing procedure that includes puncture, tear, seam strength, abrasion, wash, and colorfastness. The exterior, super high-density woven nylon 6, is tough as nails and features a microporous coating and non-porous film. The material and membrane have a waterproof rating of 20,000mm (JIS L1092 B) and a breathability rating of 2,000 g/m^2 (JIS L 1099B-1).

Waterproof Zipper Technology

The DB Zip Waders feature YKK zippers throughout. The main zipper is a waterproof, smooth, and functional YKK AQUASEAL®. The main zipper allows one to get them on and off quickly and easily, as well as making restroom stops much easier. The dual exterior chest pockets are oversized for even the biggest iPhones and other essentials. These pockets have water-resistant YKK AquaGuard® zippers to keep your valuables dry and secure.

Dry Pockets to Store Everything

Fleece-lined handwarmer pockets are designed to keep your hands warm during winter hunting season and double as convenient zippered storage for quick-access items like extra shotgun shells. These pockets are generously sized, providing ample room for your hands and essential items. Each upper pocket is strategically placed for comfortable hand resting, even in deeper water. While the AquaGuard zippers add water resistance, please note that these pockets are not fully waterproof, so items are best kept dry under normal conditions but may not remain entirely dry in submersion. Additional storage includes two interior pockets—one with a hidden magnetic closure and one with a vertical AquaGuard zipper—ideal for items like bottled water, licenses, hearing protection, or chapstick.

Insulated and Easy to Take Off

The ultralight 1200G 3M Thinsulate™ Insulated Boots are durable and warm, while the foam midsole and molded footbed will ensure you stay comfortable on those long days afoot. The soles feature a proprietary tread pattern to keep you stable while shedding even the thickest mud and muck. The built-in heel spur makes sliding the boots on and off an effortless task. These are built tough, with their multiple-layer build and added textured layer in the toe.

Shoulder Straps That Allow Flexibility

For ease of use and functionality, these hunting or fishing waders feature a no-buckle G-hook shoulder strap system. The shoulder straps on the DB Zip Waders have firmness to grip your shoulders and stay put, but enough built-in flexibility for you to remain agile and unrestricted in your movements. Their low-profile nature eliminates buckle interference when shouldering your shotgun.

Our adjustable waist belt features a high-quality Duraflex™ buckle that is built to last. This belt is firm enough for hanging carabiners or other attachments but has some elasticity to allow for mobility and easy adjusting for your preferred fit.

The Durability You Need For the Hunt

Waterfowl hunters are notorious gear abusers; having tough, tested, and specified components is critical when busting through brush, breaking ice, climbing in and out of boats and duck blinds, lending a hand to your hard-working retriever—the list goes on and on. These waders do so much more than a rubber boot. They designed with reinforcing in the most vulnerable areas to wear and tear for even the most active duck hunter. Waterfowlers spend a lot of time sitting down, staying low from the eyes of leery fowl, so a reinforced seat area was a must.

The reinforced, ergonomic padding in the knee and shin area will not only allow you to remain comfortable when taking a knee but also protect you while navigating through thick brush or ice. The boot and wader seam feature protective boot cuffs. The elastic base will ensure you never experience any unnecessary drag from loose material, and proprietary sewn, corrosion- and abrasion-free drain grommets line the bottom of the cuff to allow water to escape as you exit the water and climb into your boat or blind.

Where little things make a big difference, the DB Zip Waders feature only the best in components and design. These waders were designed and tested by professional waterfowlers who spend more time in waders than anyone—no stone has been left unturned with the DB Zip Waders. These are the best waders built to withstand the rigors of waterfowl hunting or fishing, with every necessary feature and function and a clean and comfortable fit. Combine this with a rock-solid warranty and our first-class customer service, and you are looking at the last pair of waders you'll ever buy!
