I made a trip to see a relative in Colorado in August and did not want to pack my heavy neoprene waders on the plane so ordered these and had them shipped there. Was very pleasantly surprised at how nice these waders are. I only fished in them for a week, but they are lightweight, cool, and most of all they fit exactly like the Caddis website says. I am 5-9" and 180 pounds and usually order a size large in everything, but their website strongly suggested a size medium so that's what I reluctantly ordered. They fit GREAT. Use their sizing chart and you'll love these waders too.

Spent 10 days fishing the Henry's Fork of the snake river, This is a soft section of water and has no overland trips in your waders to fish it. Waders leaked after 5th day. Entry level waders are often lower quality but using them once a year in this type of water I assumed I'd get a couple three years out of a pair. maybe another pair but not this pair. My buddy bought the next level up of caddis waders and had no issues fishing the same water. Fortunately Amazon agreed to take the waders back and credit my account even though the waders were out of the return time frame. Amazon is good. Entry level cadis breathable waders - not so much.

I highly suggest matching yourself up with the Caddis size chart it was spot-on for me fit of these waders is fantastic and the quality seems good. Go online for the Caddis size chart though it is very accurate pay attention to the inseam and the girth and you won't be disappointed. Why would you pay $500 for a pair of waders absolutely ludicrous I think a good comfortable wading shoe is more practical if you're going to spend your money on something

Caddis Men's Taupe Affordable Breathable Stocking Foot Wader, Large
I had intended to use these waders for duck hunting here in California. These were to replace my other Hodgeman fishing waders that lasted 8 seasons. Tried them on over a thermal bottom, another tight fitting pant, and fleece pants (3 layers...it was cold!) Discovered these were very tight in the legs, and I could not use these with three bottom layers. Beginning duck season these will work since one layer is all i wear in Oct/Nov. I have larger calf muscles, so the three layers don't work. If you got bird legs, then they would work just fine. So i haven't yet actually tried these out yet in the field.

I ordered the Small. I'm very disappointed that the stockingfoot is huge. It is not according to the size chart which makes it very uncomfortable in the wading shoes that I have always worn with my hodgeman waders. If you want a small but have a foot that is 6in wide and 12in long, this will be the one for you. Also all my other pairs have had a dry pocket on the inside at the top but this one does not.
