Description
These no-nonsense Guardian Elite Front Zip Insulated Waders are equipped with a relief zipper and sewn-in, insulated liner delivers a level of comfort never before seen in the wader industry. 
With its robust and flexible zipper pull, the multifunctional TIZIP® MasterSeal 10 offers incredible strength and endurance.  The MasterSeal 10’s waterproof and pressure-resistant properties are secured by the pressing together of the sealing lip across the interlocking elements. The zipper’s outstanding properties make it uniquely suitable for Drake’s Guardian Elite Waders. 
The body-mapped LokDown 100% polyester insulation keeps you warm and comfortable, while the heavy, abrasion-resistant HD2 material keeps you protected from punctures and tears in the high-wear areas.

    Love these

    I actually went through the ice. Knee deep but still. Stayed dry. Hunted in the river multiple times this season. So far I’m pleased.

    Love the waders. Very comfortable.

    Love the waders. Very comfortable. Only thing is the boots are extremely slippery. The shell pockets zippers continuously bust and I keep losing shells.

    Durable and warm!

    I hunt Waterfowl in Michigan and so Far these are the best waders I’ve ever owned. I like the sewn in insulation and I also really like the external material not being neoprene as I hunt a lot of marshland and neoprene seem to attract a lot of burrs sticking to them which these ones do not. I also really enjoy the extra durability of the material these are made of. 10/10 recommend for your next waders. The front zip has also proven to be a huge plus when taking on and off and during the hunt for “relief”. I have also been submerged in water in these for many hours at a time and many days in a row without any leaks or water getting through.
