I'm planning on getting into fly fishing, and was getting tired of trying to get my 12ft Smoker Craft back on the trailer on lakes with shallow boat ramps. If the weather is great, no worries - just wade in. If it is cold out, the LAST thing I want to do is get wet or risk having the water go over the top of my rain boots though. In addition, if I'm fishing in the rain I was getting tired of getting wet clothes. These work for both fly fishing, and solve problem with shallow ramps while staying dry on rainy fishing days.

At roughly $35, these were a bargain. I was cautiously optimistic, but still willing to return them right away if I felt they were poorly made. They appear extremely well made, have very heavy duty line fabric, and the seam at the boots looks super solid. They also come with a roughly 3x3" patch and rubber cement in the event they get a hole or tear. The wide suspenders help keep them up and the belt is equally durable and practical.

The two loops at the front of the suspenders are great for clipping on a pair of fishing pliers or other accessories on a short bungee rope. The lone pocket for them rests against your sternum on the inside of the waders and although it doesn't have a zipper or closure, the only way anything should ever fall out is if you do somersaults... The sizing in the chart is a little bit generous, but still works. I'm 5-10, 215 with size 10.5 to 11 shoes, depending on the brand. I bought size 11 based on the chart and found that they fit like I expected a set of waders would, although the boots were a touch large. Not "this simply won't work" large, but "well, I guess I have plenty of room for some super thick wool socks when I go fishing this winter" large. All things said, they fit, are comfortable, and the tread on the bottoms of the boots looks super sturdy with aggressive lugs.

I got to use them today for the first time at one of those shallow boat ramps. I waded in with a little bit of trepidation, and slowly got past my waist with no leaks whatsoever. A pair of sweat pants underneath gave plenty of insulation against the somewhat cold lake water. The lake bottom near the ramp had anywhere from 1/2 to 2" river rocks and the boots gripped just fine. Walked back out of the lake and the water beaded up and ran right off. Fished the next 2-3 hours in my boat (sitting), and they were extremely comfortable to wear.

For $35, I literally couldn't be more pleased. No, they don't come with waterproof pockets, a waterproof zipper up the front, or a velcro chest pad for hanging your flies or tackle. If/when I decide I need those, I will spend more money next time while using these as a spare for family and friends. For someone who will use these 2-4 times per month on average, I'm a very happy camper.

I live by a small river and finally decided to clean up a fallen tree and a bunch of limbs that accumulated along the river bank. I didn't have much hope that these would hold up against the job I was going to do, but figured they were better than nothing. There was a tone of debris under the water, sticks, cans, bottles, and who knows what else. I was sure I'd poke a hole, tear a seam, or slice a hole in the waders almost as soon as I went in the water, but after three full days of work, I didn't find a single hole. The only water that got in was when I tripped and dunked the top of the waders underwater, and even that was minimal with the string that keeps the top of the waders tight to your body.
I'm a big guy, 5'11", around 250 and the size 11 was a good fit. There was plenty of room in the waders and the adjustable straps had plenty of length to loosen or tighten as I needed. I was also pleasantly surprised by the boots. I wouldn't want that go for a long hike in the waders, but I was in them for three days and my feet didn't bother me at all.
I was not easy on the waders and thought I'd be tossing them in the trash when I was done, but they held up great, especially for the price. I'm sure there's better waders out there, but for me, these were perfect.

We got two of this for a duck hunt and I can't be happier. Very comfortable. Great quality, light weight is a plus when you have to be up and down of a kayak and walking thru the mud. We were inside this waders for 14 hrs straight and we couldn't be happier with the product. The boots seemed a little bit loose but we used wide socks and thats it. After 14 hrs going through innumerable obstacles and no even one drop of water in. We highly recommend this product.

Great for the price

Have worn multiple times in the swamp. Fits great. Great mobility. No leaks yet!
