Fit and Features
The DRYFT™ S14 waders start with loads of storage pockets and adjustable straps, belt, and upper drawstring to customize the fit to your body. A heavy duty reinforced lower protects the parts of the wader that get the most abuse; the legs, knees, and seat. Contoured and flexible knees give freedom of movement allowing you to walk, run, crouch, wade, stumble, and crawl easily without restricted movement. The durable and breathable reinforced lower from the waist down includes a single vertical seam design with seams running up the outside of the legs to eliminate seam abrasion when walking.
What about staying dry?
Breathable, 20,000+mm DWR coated waterproof nylon fabric combined with double taped seams through the lowers bring the waterproofing to the next level. To top it off, seam ends and edges are triple taped a second time to keep the water where the fish are.
Finally, DRYFT™ S14 waders are direct to consumer priced to save you some coin and leave enough skrilla in your pocket to buy gas, beer, and tackle or flies.

After 4 seasons of guiding rough terrain in the Alberta Rockies with these waders they still don’t leak at all , amazing !!! I don’t wear them on the hottest days due to the black color , but I sure have to give them 5 stars for durability , I’m HARD on waders

Have used the S-14 for entire summer in saltwater. Not one complaint- only praise. Will keep updating as I use the S14 this winter. 90 degree was a bit hot, but when isn’t 90 degrees hot. Looking forward to using these in 50-60 degree weather.
I have used the S14 atleast 100 times and still look brand new and ZERO leaks.
If they are in stock buy them.

I work as a bear guide in Canada, for 6 months straight every year. I spend most of my time in the water holding the boat for photographers, everyday at least once a day for 3-4 hour tours.
And well, these waders have kept me dry for 3 seasons now!! Most guides here in Canada use Simms waders and I keep hearing from them how they leak, some even using Aquaseal from the first year.
I don’t usually write reviews, but I just had to. Most people here don’t even know about Dryft waders and their quality is truly exceptional. I just hope their quality doesn’t change with time.

So far the best waders for saltwater.
5’9
165lbs
9 mens shoes
M- fits great
No leaks.
Used them about a dozen times. Little over 40 hrs walking the flats .
Plenty of room/pockets for extra leader-lures-and rope stringer.
Matched with Freesalt wading boots.
S-14 is better than Freestone wader.
Freestone leaked in crotch out of the box.
Nick says they will last for years. I believe him.
Highly recommend the S-14 Adrenaline.

david pouliot (verified owner) –
great waders. went with XXL short because I am 6’1 250, but size 10w shoe. would love regular xxl is small boot sizes.
waders are comfy,well constructed. i pick function over appearance, but these also are best looking ones i’ve owned. wish inner pocket was accessible without having to flip it out. maybe a velcro tab that allows you to choose which way it faces could be in next version.

Purchased a set of these waders for my son for Christmas. They fit perfectly. True to size. He has fished with them many times so far. No leaks and are extremely comfortable. Thanks to the recommendation from Fly Fish Dan

First pair of waders and glad I went with Dryft. Fit is awesome, paired these with some Korker boots and couldn’t be happier. I’m 6’1″ 230 pounds and the XL short fits perfect.

I’ve owned the S14 waders for several years and the are still going. No issues, comfortable and best of all no leaks. Love the pocket and hand warming area. I’d put these waders up against any top brand for durability at a great price. I’m 5’ 10” 190 lbs with 32 inseam. Waders are size Large. They fit with just enough room for freedom of movement when layering during winter months. With other brands, I always feared the day they would leak on a cold day. With Dryft I have confidence they will keep me warm and dry all day in any situation.

Great waders! Fit and finish are top notch. I purchased these to replace a pair that I thought were good. I found out what good really means. I highly recommend these waders.
P.S. I’m 5’9’’ 190. The large short fit perfect
