Drake's hybrid Refuge Eqwader quarter-zip jacket combines waterproof HyperShield 2.0 upper body protection with breathable lower panels for balanced weather defense. Features Magnattach call pocket, gusseted underarms, and binding cuffs for active hunting.
The Refuge Eqwader represents a thoughtful approach to waterfowl hunting apparel—one that acknowledges the simple truth that a hunter's needs change throughout the day and across different conditions.
This jacket employs a two-zone design that separates your protection needs from your comfort needs. The upper body and arms use Refuge HS fabric with HyperShield 2.0 technology, delivering waterproof and windproof performance where weather exposure is greatest. Below the chest, more breathable material allows moisture vapor to escape, preventing the clammy buildup that ruins long days afield.
Designed for the working hunter:
The quarter-zip opening makes this jacket an excellent mid-layer choice. You can wear it over a base layer for early-season hunts or under a heavier shell when conditions demand maximum protection. The design philosophy prioritizes the hunter who moves between boat, blind, and open water—where versatility matters as much as durability.
