We grow cranberries and harvest on flooded bogs in waders. That requires agility jumping ditches, walking in water all day for several days in all kinds of weather from shirt sleeve to snow, no kidding. Our crew goes through a set of waders each year, most wear heavy duty all rubber or neoprene boots at about 100. By the end of the day they are heavy to lift, If they get wet, take days to dry and by the end of the season invariably develop small leaks. Even the smaller sized boots never seem to fit women well. If you dont hoist the suspenders to your armpits, the crotch is just above your knees. Try to jump a ditch!
These boots were light weight, not constantly pulling downward! adjustable suspenders attached to the boot not buttoned in, with a belt at the waist and a covered pocket in front and 1 inside the boot. I could wear them all day without tiring. Best of all, they gave me the agility that I needed with a much better fit.
The material was comfortable in all weather but I wouldnt call them breathable. On the really warm days I could make condensation inside the boot which was easily resolved by taking off the belt. I will get another year out of these boots easilyat less than half the price! Very well made.
Best wader I ever wore at the best price
