Description
These no-nonsense Guardian Elite Front Zip Insulated Waders are equipped with a relief zipper and sewn-in, insulated liner delivers a level of comfort never before seen in the wader industry. 
With its robust and flexible zipper pull, the multifunctional TIZIP® MasterSeal 10 offers incredible strength and endurance.  The MasterSeal 10’s waterproof and pressure-resistant properties are secured by the pressing together of the sealing lip across the interlocking elements. The zipper’s outstanding properties make it uniquely suitable for Drake’s Guardian Elite Waders. 
 The body-mapped LokDown 100% polyester insulation keeps you warm and comfortable, while the heavy, abrasion-resistant HD2 material keeps you protected from punctures and tears in the high-wear areas.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these insulated waders are exceptionally warm and comfortable, with many praising the front zipper as a game-changer for easy on-and-off access. The boots fit well and provide good support for long walks, while the sewn-in liner keeps hunters warm in cold conditions. Many reviews highlight the excellent fit and durability of the materials. However, several customers report issues with pocket zippers breaking or splitting, particularly the hand-warming pockets which can also let water in when submerged. Some find the waders too warm for early season hunting but perfect for late season conditions.
