Who It's For
Hunters and trappers who want Dan's best briarproof chap sewn to a boot built for serious punishment. The Five Star Chap with Dryshod Haymaker Hi combines Dan's tightly woven 420 denier waterproof chap with a boot designed for hunters who cover rugged, messy terrain and need it to hold up season after season. One reviewer's previous pair lasted fifteen years. This one's built to do the same.
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.

Why It's Worth It
- Built to Last: Dan's Five Star Chap and the Dryshod Haymaker are both built for hunters who expect their gear to outlast the years — not just the season.
- Superior Traction: The DS1 molded outsole and compression-molded gum rubber grip rugged, wet, and muddy terrain where other boots lose their footing.
- Hip-Deep Waterproof: The sewn-and-sealed chap-to-boot construction keeps water out from boot sole to belt.
- Briarproof From Boot to Belt: Water-repellent nylon lining runs to the lower ankle, so briars and sharp sticks don't find a gap at the boot top.
- All-Day Comfort: EVA midsole, removable sockliner, and 5mm neoprene keep feet comfortable and warm through long days on the water and in the field.
- Hand-Sewn in the USA: The chap and sealing process are crafted in Ohio for superior quality and field-readiness.
Sizing Guide
- Chap thigh: Measure around the largest part of your thigh over your jeans and add 2–3 inches. Order 2–3 inches shorter than your normal inseam; 3 inches shorter is recommended. If between sizes, most buyers choose the shorter length.
- Boot size: Dryshod Haymaker Hi Boots are sized to athletic-shoe standards — order your regular shoe size. If you plan to wear heavy socks, size up. Boot sizes 6–15 available.
