Purpose-built for women waterfowlers, not a men's wader with a different label. Drake designed the Women's Insulated Guardian Elite Vanguard with women's-specific proportions and fit, delivering the same premium 3-layer waterproof/windproof/breathable Guardian Elite fabric and cold-weather insulation as the men's version, but cut for how women are actually built.
Body-mapped insulation puts warmth where you need it: 125g LokDown in the front and 200g LokDown in the back. The 1,600g Thinsulate Buckshot Mudder boots keep your feet warm in freezing water all morning. Tape-reinforced seams with up to 75% needle hole reduction, plus HD2 reinforcement on the knees, seat, and high-wear areas, mean these waders handle seasons of hard use.
No-buckle X-Crossing-Back Shoulder Straps keep the wader secure and comfortable without bulk. Front cargo pouch, inside zippered pouch, horizontal shell loops, and pass-through internal handwarmer pockets give you storage and warmth where you need it. The tear-away insulated liner lets you adjust warmth without taking off the wader.
Backed by Drake's 3-year "Strap to Sole" replacement warranty. Available at Carolina Sportsman Outfitters. 0% financing available, no credit needed.

Drake designed these with women's proportions, different hip-to-waist ratios, shorter inseam options, and adjusted boot sizing. This isn't a men's wader relabeled; it's engineered for a proper women's fit. Check Drake's women's sizing chart for your measurements.
