Adrenalin 2P Thermo Shield Wet Wading Pants

There are plenty of wet wading pants out there that cost a lot more. For most flyfishers, these do the job just as well. Warm, light, quick to dry and comfortable to walk in all day. Team them with wading socks and boots and you’ve got a lean, mobile setup for summer streams and long days in the backcountry. 

Don’t let the price fool you. These are one of the best value wet wading layers going, and they’ve built a quiet following with flyfishers heading into the New Zealand backcountry.

They’re made from Adrenalin’s 2P technical polyfleece, which is warm, stretchy and sheds water fast. That matters when you’re crossing the river ten times before lunch. They don’t soak up water like heavier fleece or old school thermals, so you’re not dragging soggy weight up the valley. Once you’re back on the bank, they dry out quickly.

Who they’re for

• Wet wading cold water with neoprene socks and wading boots
• Multiday backcountry trips where you’re covering big distances on foot
• A warm base layer under waders on frosty mornings
• Anyone who wants to leave the waders at home and travel light

Features

• 2P technical polyfleece: warm, stretchy and quick drying
• Water resistant fabric that cuts wind chill in and out of the water
• Adjustable drawcord waist
• Foot loops to stop them riding up (easy to snip off if you’d rather not have them)
• Flatlock stitching for comfort and durability
• SPF 50+ sun protection
