I ordered these waders after having my previous pair for about 6 years, I would have ordered those but they no longer make that style. These arent a household name like Lacrosse, Banded, Drake etc but let me say this, they have the same features as those guys. Velcro pocket, hand pocket, shell loops, and they fit true to size, although as you can see in the pic, they are big in the middle which is fine. I am 6 2 250 and the size 12 has PLENTY of room. I have used them for the past week for the opener here in SC. They are very warm, matter of fact too warm when the temps get above 45.
So here is the reason I didnt give a complete 5 Stars, and its a little petty but to me its a big deal, the shoulder straps, wish they had either used neoprene for the whole strap or none at all or possibly just ran a pad over the shoulder straps. They are a bit uncomfortable but possible wouldnt notice with a coat on, I have been hunting with tshirts or base layers so that could be why. I am going to figure out a way to make a padding but in no way should it be a deal breaker on buying these waders, I feel like for the MONEY I paid they ARE OUTSTANDING. This review is based on only 1 week of use but it was pretty tough abuse. still feels plenty sturdy
Bargain Price but Worth double
