What To Wear Under Waders

A duck hunter should prioritize layering when dressing under their waders in order to adapt to varying weather conditions. In cold weather, moisture-wicking layers are essential to retain body heat while keeping dry. To stay warm and dry under any conditions, wear a combination of specialized base layers, jackets, wader bibs or pants, and vests. Waterfowl jackets are designed to be waterproof and/or windproof, providing essential protection against harsh weather conditions. Wader bibs or pants offer insulation and wick moisture away from the skin, keeping the lower body warm and dry. Vests are useful for layering, offering additional core insulation without restricting movement.

Choose any of the below combinations and pair with your favorite Insulated or Uninsulated waders.

No one wants to leave a hunt early because they are too cold, too hot, or wet and miserable! That's why it's so important to consider gear like our MST CommandXT Eqwader Full Zip Jacket. It's an ideal shell jacket or mid-layer to wear with waders because of the weather-protecting upper chest, shoulders and arms, combined with the moisture-wicking fleece material below. Our MST Jean Cut Wader Pant will keep you dry and comfortable no matter what the weather brings.

Wearing comfortable gear is paramount to ensuring a successful and enjoyable hunting experience. The Drake Ultimate Wader Quarter Zip Hoodie is one of our newest innovations and an ideal layering piece for mid-season temperatures. Paired with our Waterfowl Under-Wader Jogger, you'll be comfortable all day.

For those cold morning hunts, you'll want something like our MST Synthetic Down Hooded Jacket with its comfortable, insulating design and versatility. Pair it with our MST Ultimate Wader Pants which combine functionality and performance with the comfort and casual style of your favorite everyday pants. Together, this combo equips the duck hunter with the perfect blend of practicality and comfort that is needed for those long, demanding days in the field, marsh or timber.


In unforgiving environments, having the right gear is crucial. Featuring waterproof / windproof / breathable fabric our LST BMF Eqwader Full Zip with Primaloft Jacket is engineered to perfectly combine exceptional weather protection with breathability and warmth. Paired with our LST CommandXT Bib with Primaloft, which offer superior waterproofing and insulation, you get full-body protection that ensures you stay dry and warm in the worst conditions this duck season can throw at you.
