I had a gift card and was looking for some cheaper early season waders for chilly hunting. These definitely fit the bill. I have worn them a lot lately. So far I have done three Teal hunts in them and spent an entire day in them brushing a duck blind. So far no leaks and these puppies are warm. I suspect I will be comfortable to about 30 degrees in them. I leave hunts now covered in sweat and enough sweat you actually think you sprung a leak. The boot soles are comfortable and have held up on two mile long walks into the marsh when I couldnt carry extra clothes and change. The hand warmer is fleece lined which is will be great in wind. The shell holder is appropriately sized for my 12 ga and shells do not fall out. The wader hanger also holds them well and allows for safe storage. The looks good and stitching does not look cheap.
Update/ after only three hunts I entered the water for a duck hunt. I noticed fairly immediately that there were two small holes near the seam. I contacted the companies customer service department due to faulty seams and was promised a partial refund after it was stated a return was not possible due to shipping limitations. Once the amount was agreed upon it took some time but I received the money and feel the company was fair. I patched the hole with some aqua seal and using the refund got a second new pair so I now have two pair of waders. Please be advised and know what you are getting with these waders. As expected.
Light and good waders / with update
