Drake Waterfowl LST Guardian Flex™ Double Down Eqwader™ 1/4 Zip Drake Waterfowl LST Guardian Flex™ Double Down Eqwader™ 1/4 Zip

This jacket features a combination of high-performance materials to provide exceptional protection and comfort for waterfowl hunting. The upper body and arms are crafted from 100% waterproof, windproof, and breathable Guardian Flex fabric. The lower torso utilizes a 200-gram 100% polyester synthetic Double Down fabric, which is 15 times more breathable than the upper waterproof material, effectively preventing the buildup of perspiration and moisture.

The lower sides of the jacket are made from a 100% polyester high-gauge interlock stretch breathable Endurance fabric, further enhancing breathability and helping to keep the wearer dry on the inside. Two Time & Motion Magnattach call and whistle pockets are strategically placed on the chest, providing convenient access to essential hunting gear. Additionally, two Time & Motion zippered chest pockets are included underneath the Magnattach pockets.

The jacket's unique Eqwader technology (patented as #7,318,239) was developed to address the distinct temperature and moisture management challenges encountered when wearing chest waders. Just as the Earth's equator is the dividing line between two distinct temperate zones, the Eqwader technology recognizes a similar dividing line on the body when wearing chest waders: the upper body experiences cold, hostile conditions, while the lower body is subjected to warm, humid conditions.

By combining waterproof/breathable fabric on the sleeves and upper body with ultra-breathable fleece on the lower body, the Eqwader technology introduces a new level of comfort and performance when wearing chest waders. This dual-zone protection system keeps the wearer dry both inside and outside the waders, ensuring a comfortable and efficient hunting experience.

The jacket is available in both full-zip and 1/4-zip versions, providing versatility in terms of adjustability and ventilation. Additionally, the jacket features HD3 fabric on the elbow/forearm for added protection, as well as adjustable Neoprene cuffs for a customized fit.

It's important to note that the lanyard and bands pictured are not included with the jacket. The bands are only provided when the wearer has successfully hunted and harvested waterfowl that have been banded.

In summary, this jacket is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and the pursuit of optimal performance in waterfowl hunting. The integration of advanced materials and the patented Eqwader technology ensures that the wearer remains dry, comfortable, and protected, regardless of the conditions encountered while in the field.
