This bonded design increases the windproof protection and provides incredible warmth. Due to the warmth retention capabilities of the Bonded Fleece Pant, we do not recommend wearing these pants under waders as overheating could occur. The outer fabric and the lining fabric move independently, creating a comfortable fit that moves and flexes when worn under waders. The real difference in these two products lies in the liner jacket.

The 4-in-1 liner is a reversible insulated bomber jacket that reverses from camo to solid brown. This liner jacket has grams of poly-fill insulation. The primary benefit of the LST Eqwader 3-in-1 Plus 2 Wader Coat is versatility - this coat offers three ways to wear the shell and liner jacket plus two additional ways to wear the shell and liner vest, hence the clever name.

Retailers have clamored for a deer hunting line from Drake for years, and there is new interest from many people who don't hunt and quite a number of women. A new arena, the fun outdoors lifestyle market," Tate said. Drake employs many women, and their input has become critical at the roundtable because of these new demands.

The team built gear from a duck hunter's perspective, and 'once we get products to people they would say it was fresh, new, that they'd never seen this before, ' Bobby said. He was a lifelong devoted conservationist with a soft spot for the public hunter. Every year from the time I was 6 or 7 'til the time he passed, we'd spend hours in the blind talking about what we liked and didn't like, and he spent the off-season correcting any design flaws.

His rig was an ever-changing product, a living-breathing thing that morphed every year. And that stuck with me and Bobby: fix what's broken and improve anything you can.
