Who It's For
Hunters working snake country who want a neoprene boot that fits and moves like it was made for their leg. The Snake Protector Chap with LaCrosse Alpha Agility pairs Dan's triple-layer snake protection chap with a lightweight, adjustable-gusset neoprene boot built for hunters who cover serious ground in wet, brushy terrain. At 4 lbs. and with a comfort range of 0°F to 70°F, it's the nimblest snake protection combo in the Frogleg line.
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
- Triple-Layer Snake Protection: Built with three layers of protection — Dan's most serious snake defense in a Frogleg chap.
- Neoprene Fit and Warmth: 3.5mm neoprene fits closer and moves more naturally than rubber, keeping feet warm and comfortable through long days in wet terrain.
- Adjustable Gusset: Dial in the fit around your calf for a boot that moves with you on uneven ground, steep creek banks, and muddy terrain.
- Lightest Snake Combo in the Line: At 4 lbs., the Alpha Agility carries less weight per step than rubber alternatives — important when you're covering ground in snake country.
- Hip-Deep Waterproof: The sewn-and-sealed chap-to-boot construction keeps water out from boot sole to belt.
- Hand-Sewn in the USA: The chap and sealing process are crafted in Ohio for superior quality and field-readiness.
