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.

These are amazing waders. The construction is impeccable, the fit and comfort are fantastic. The price point was spot on with features and quality of waders 3X the cost!

After doing research on line, thought Simms was probably the way to go however after feature to feature comparison, drift held appeal due to cost and represented quality. Upon receipt of the s14’s, I was impressed with quality, customer service was great, delivery fast. Wore these waders on Stillwater fishery last weekend and was extremely happy with purchase. For the cost vs quality conscience, these waders are fabulous. For performance as good as any.

Ordered s14’s Feb 2018 for Pa. fishing. Have worn 20 times in April and May and wear them while driving in my car. So far appear good as new with no issues. Hope they continue to hold up.

Just got my hands on a pair of the S14’s, I have worn everything from Simms and Hodgmans to Frogg Toggs and these take the cake on quality. The true test will be time but so far these waders have done nothing but impress me. Not to mention, the price point is more than reasonable. I’d recommend these waders to anyone from a novice fisherman to a seasoned vet.

These are the first waders I’ve owned. I have tried comparable Simms products when renting through shops and honestly these feel more durable. So far they have held up well between surf fishing and hiking rivers. The value cannot be beat and there is no degradation in quality that I can tell.

I have only use my S14 waders a couple of times so far. They fit like a glove even while wearing fleece pants. They are heavy duty and compare to more expensive high end waders, a definite bargain. I can’t wait to buy the jacket, waiting for a sale

Bought the waders and wading jacket for my trip to New York steelhead fishing and both preformed perfect. I fished in snow and 10 degree weather for 3 days and didn’t get cold or wet. Waders and jacket both fit perfect even with layers of clothes for the cold weather. The size chart is very accurate. The fit and comfort of these waders are top notch and the pockets are perfectly designed. If you are looking for a great pair of waders DRYFT waders are just as good as other comparably waders and less money. Customer service is top notch also. I decided to order the jacket after I already received my waders and needed the jacket in 5 days. I emailed DRYFT on a Saturday and they got back to me in minutes and answered all my questions and made sure the order was processed and shipped.

If you’re are serious about fishing I wouldn’t even look at any other waders! I used the sizing chart (6ft 3 and 200 pounds) and the large fits perfectly. Winter steelheading on Vancouver island can be pretty lousy with the weather we get but not anymore! All in all a very good product and I would recommend them to anyone.

I’m throughly impressed by my S14’s. The fit is great. In my experience they’re every bit as warm for winter days as my G3’s. They’re tough. Im rough on my gear. Put a few scrapes in them but the scrapes never went all the way through and didn’t leak. The crotch section has started to leak a bit. Happens with every brand. Got around 70 trips out of them and have no bad feelings about ordering a new pair to replace the leaky ones. Overall they’re a great product. Well done.

i bought the s14 a few months ago, and i love them! i would recommend them to anyone! i fish weekly and they’re holding up perfectly! they feel extremely durable and they fit perfect! i’m 6’0″ tall 185lbs and a size 12 shoe and the large is perfect. my buddy ordered from one of the expensive companies and paid 400$ and is sending them back bc the feet are to small and the top is to baggy. he tried my adrenalines on and now he’s hooked he’s ordering a pair! and before i ordered i had a few question and customer service got right back to and answered all my silly questions with no problems, they were a pleasure to deal with! don’t hesitate and ORDER FROM DRYFT!!!

The wader feels comfortable, own the s14 for 3 weeks now, it did kept me dry in any weather. BUT the gravel cover started to rip after being only used 3 weekends. AND the gravel hook cut my shoe laces!
I’m a bit disappointed.

6’3” 200lbs size 10.5 foot. I have always had trouble finding a wader that fits properly. I usually end up getting a large in order to fit my inseam, and find them way too bulky. And the booty is always a struggle to get on and off my foot. Usually that is where they fail first, from tearing while removing a sweaty foot.
I end up ordering the Large Long and am very pleased with the fit. The booty slides on and off with extreme ease. I couldn’t be more happy about that. The overall fit is comfortable and the material feels bullet proof. These waders are the best I have owned to date and am confident I will get years of service out of them. I already recommended to a close friend so he also purchased them.
Rory J –
Very unimpressed. I’ve had for these for two years and used them around 10 times. The gravel guards have fallen apart, I’ve had multiple leaks (several in the first year that required me to send them back). Customer service was good when I sent them back but overall these have been a let down.

I’ve had my s14s for close to 2 years now and I will never buy a different brand as long as you guys are around. I have beat the hell out of these waders hiked miles in all terrain. I got tired of buying cheap waders and I couldn’t see spending 450 on simms just for the name. Dryft waders are the way to go.
DRYFT –
Glad to hear it! Thanks for using our gear for your fishing adventures!

Wanting to update my review. I’ve had my s14’s for over a year and I put nearly 40+ hour a week in them. By far, the best waders I’ve ever owned. I’ve destroyed 2 pairs of high end korkers in he same amount of time yet the waders have been bullet proof!
