Fit and Features
The DRYFT S14 women’s waders feature 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 four-layer 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, while the lighter three-layer upper vents warm air and helps regulate temperature.
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 women’s 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.

This is my second review of these waders because I just bought my second pair for winter. These are workhorses ! I had my first pair and got a LS and i loved them so much that this year I bought a size up for the winter months to layer more. I love the curve to them to make you not feel like such a man in waders, they fit comfortably and have so many pockets! I haven’t had one pinhole in them in the over a year I’ve had my first pair. ONLY PROBLEM IS, if you’re buying from canada I got slapped with duty. My first pair was 56 bucks Canadian and my second order was almost 200 dollars in duty. That isn’t dryfts fault but it does suck and Canadians please take that into consideration.

As a curvy and short girl..it was refreshing to find waders that FIT! Other wader companies I run into that somewhat had fit…always seemed to be brighter and lighter colors. It was nice to find waders that fit great, amazing quality and didn’t make me stick out among others. THANK YOU DRYFT!

My daughters and I have a small commercial Bristol Bay salmon fishing business in Egegik Alaska where the weather and conditions take no prisoners. We practically live in our waders for 7 weeks. Finally a brand that holds up season after season. Trust me when I say we have tried them all and most of the competitors are single season wonders regardless of claimed quality. Not these – they are worth the money. BTW, the female fit makes my girls happy!

I really like these waders. The fabric itself feels like great quality – a much different feel from the classic wader material, but seems like higher quality. I like that the socks aren’t as thick and bulky as previous waders I’ve had. My only complaint is that they run a bit short – I don’t typically take long sizes in anything else, but the medium is much too short for me and will get a long version next time. I’m about 5’6″. All in all, great quality and excited to see how these hold up!

So far so good! The fit is good and the waders are quite comfortable. I purchased a Small Long. For reference I am 5’5″ about 138 lbs. The widest part of my butt/hips measures 39 inches. Chest is a 34D. I’ve worn leggings with wool long johns and the waders didn’t feel tight around my hips. Top wise, I’ve worn 2 different long sleeve base layers, a flannel, and a light insulated jacket with no feeling of tightness. Love the color! No drab tans or dull greens here!

These waders are very durable and do a great job at keeping me warm. I love the quality of them, but the sizing is off. I am 5’1” and 105 pounds, with a 26 inch inseam. The xs states it will fit an inseam up to 28 inches, but I am barely able to bend my knees in these due to the inseam being so much shorter. Size up if your inseam is within a few inches of the max listed.

I was excited to get these waders on and test them. I’m 5’10 and 185 lbs. I ordered XL which don’t have an option for length. I’m a guide here in Alaska and need durable waders for fishing. I don’t like them at all! The fit is not good. I can’t bend my knees without them pulling down due to the inseam not being long enough. They are extremely thin to the point I won’t wear them hiking into fishing spots due to them definitely ripping.
Maybe if the inseam could be considered in the future I may order another pair for summer fishing from a boat but otherwise I will stick to simms men’s waders. I unfortunately had to purchase $600 waders from simms after trying these out with disappointment.

My favorite waders. Very durable (wading rivers in western WA), keeps me warm and easy to move around in. Love the sizing options for women & best customer service!

Thank you so much for creating the S14 Women’s Waders!! It’s about time that someone invented a durable, sexy and well fitting waders for curvy women! Fly fishing for over 15 years, I never could find a pair that fit perfect, until now. I love the color, the drawstring ties at the top to make them more contoured, the sizing in the booties, the protective sheath for my boots. Everything about them! I will be coming straight to you for my next pair!

Awesome!!!
Got these for xmas for my girlfriend. She has been in the zip waders for a while now. But these fit her so much better. Same bad ass waders, but a better fit for her. Sweet!JJ

Great fit, durable, packable and I love the pocket features. XL provides plenty of room for warm layers, large feet (10), easy on/off, and no movement restriction for festively husky 5’6″ gal. These waders are very tall, provide lots of coverage compared to brands I’ve worn. Just really can’t get over how great the fit is for a curvy gal. Seems like someone really put some thought into the design. Much appreciation!!

Absolutely amazing! Bought these and shipped them to canada. Been wearing them out all season and they are just what I asked for. I love how they are cut more to fit a woman’s shape! I’m 5,3 191 lbs (bigger in the stomach area) bought the L short and they fit perfect. I probably should’ve went to an XL for the winter months for more room but it’s still okay. I put a long sleeve, hoodie and rain jacket in these and they still fit great. SO many pockets to keep all your stuff in. The front pocket is also amazing. I wouldn’t buy waders without a front pocket to keep my hands warm. Thanks Dryft!

The waist/chest area is a little too high for me (5’2” ordered a LP) even when adjusted with the straps.
It would be nice if the shoulder strap clips were a little smaller/slimmer/low profile. I wear a fishing vest and it feels kinda bulky wearing both.
I like the fit of a women’s waders and the color is unique as well! The pockets are very nice and I like the placement and the fleece inside the pockets!

Finally a durable pair of women’s waders that are made with just as high quality materials as the mens. The material feels strong and has yet to show any signs of wear or pinholes after I’ve put them through the wringer (lots of bushwhacking, essentially).
There’s enough room up top for plenty of winter layers without feeling bulky. The footbed fits my size 7.5 feet nicely. The inseam in the regular inseam was a bit too short, so I ordered the long and they fit like a glove. I don’t consider myself very tall, but this size change made a big difference for my mobility while wearing the waders. Overall, very impressed by these and excited to have them for years to come.
I am 5’4,” 125lbs with a small bust and a 31” inseam. I ordered a Small Long.
