Who It's For
Hunters who want neoprene comfort in a briarproof, waterproof hip wader. The Five Star Chap with LaCrosse Alpha Agility Boot is for anyone who covers wet ground from early season through late fall — and wants a wader light enough to move in all day. The Alpha Agility's 3.5mm neoprene construction and adjustable gusset fit like a boot built for your leg, while Dan's Five Star Chap keeps the briars and brush at bay from boot to belt.
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
- Neoprene Fit and Warmth: 3.5mm neoprene hugs your foot and leg more closely than a rubber boot and is warmer, more comfortable, and easier to move in during long days on the water.
- Adjustable Gusset: Dial in the fit around your calf so the boot moves with you. You’ll love this feature on steep creek banks and uneven terrain.
- Lightest Boot in the Frogleg Line: At 4 lbs., the Alpha Agility carries less weight per step than rubber alternatives, making it the go-to for hunters who cover serious ground.
- 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.
- 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: LaCrosse Alpha Agility Boots are available in men's sizes 8–15. If you plan to wear heavy socks, size up.
