Who It's For
Hunters working snake country who want Dryshod's most comfortable and durable neoprene boot sewn directly to Dan's heavyweight snake protection chap. The Snake Protector Chap with Dryshod Haymaker Hi is for turkey hunters, rabbit hunters, and anyone pushing through wet brush and flooded ground where snakes share the territory.
What Are Froglegs?
Froglegs are Dan's solution to hip-deep conditions. Each pair starts with a briarproof outer chap lined with water-repellent nylon that runs all the way down to the lower ankle. Dan's team then sews and seals that chap directly to the boot of your choice, creating a waterproof hip wader that also sheds briars and brush from boot to belt. Wear them pulled up and attached to your belt with the adjustable straps, or fold them down and snap them at the knee when conditions allow.

- Insulated and Breathable: DENSOPRENE® foam keeps feet warm in cold water, while the AIRMESH lining moves air to keep feet comfortable during hard work.
