I just received my Size Large waders today and would like to offer an initial review while they're on my mind. I'll try to do a follow-up once I've put them to good use. For reference, I am 5' 7" tall, 188 pounds and wear a size 10.5 shoe.

- The stocking foot is snug, as noted by others, but I believe snug is better than the alternative. I tried on my waders wearing blue jeans and thin socks, but even without socks I believe they'll be a little snug. Once my wading boot is laced up and I'm in the stream fishing, I think I'll forget all about the snugness of the neoprene.

- The inseam is longer than necessary (my pant inseam is 30"), but that should not prove to be a problem unless the material folds over underwater and creates a pressure point. That sometimes happens with waders, but I don't expect it to be a problem. The excess length will allow me to bend over and squat if necessary.

- The shoulder strap and the belt are both elastic. I think that's a bad idea. They are more difficult to adjust than a regular web material, so once you get them perfect just leave them along. I have other waders with web shoulder straps, and I am constantly adjusting the straps depending on what I'm doing. I suspect that this type of thick elastic will take a while to dry.

- Speaking of belts, the three belt loops are totally unnecessary. Unlike with regular pants, when you put your wading belt on it isn't going anywhere. Loops are absolutely useless. I'd go so far to say that the rear loop can be a nuisance, as a lot of people like to stick landing nets into their belts behind them. Suggestion: PisciFun, just eliminate this manufacturing cost and then pass the savings on to the customer.

- The handy Velcro fly patch is mounted too low on the front of the waders. Up high, it would be more useful, but I prefer no patch at all. Most people don't use them anyway. If you do attach flies to this patch, you'll likely find that the water current and/or your vest and/or your shoulder bag will knock off the flies. Suggestion: PisciFun, if you're not going to do it right, just eliminate this "feature" and pass the cost savings on to the customer.

- The wader "kit" comes with a nice mesh carrying and/or storage bag, but it also comes with a "bonus" clear waterproof smartphone bag. Let me ask you a question. Are your seriously researching your next set of stockingfoot waders based on whether or not they'll come with a phone case? I didn't think so. Neither did I. You're paying for waders, so don't get sidetracked. Suggestion: PisciFun, get with the program. Don't include unrelated crap in order to "sweeten the deal." Just stick to making good products that stand on their own. Surely by eliminating this cost you can lower the price of the waders.

- The overall fit of the waders suits me fine. I'm about a 41" chest, and I feel that the waders are somewhat snug on my body, both in the legs and the torso. To me, that's not a problem. These are not pajamas! I'm not sure if I'll wear long pants underneath them; it'll likely depend on the time of year I'm fishing. But, even with long pants, I think they'll come on and off fine with a little patience. Once they're on, you'll be glad they are not huge on you.

So, I've made some criticisms, but I believe the overall value for my money is quite good. These waders seem to be well built, and I am anxious to get out on the water to put them to work!

I needed new waders since gaining weight (put on that Covid 20). These not only fit great, but are well made and feel like they will hold up. My old waders cost over four times as much and don't have two zipper pockets and other extras. The fly patch is useless for me because I wear a waist pack. I am a 5 foot 2 inch 165 lb. woman and they are a perfect fit.

Bought stocking foot for wife they looked and fit so well I decided to get an extra for myself when warmer weather. I have frogg toggs insulated ones but these are just as good and 30% of the price. Small for her a Large for me. The large is a tad smaller than FT sizing but I like the foot size for a 10 foot at 5'10" tall. She's had for 2 seasons now no issues. Got her stocking foot to make sure boots fit and she doesn't trip. Small for women's 8 perfect with enough length no bunching in boots. Fabric is very similar to my FTs.

I've had these guys for a couple months now, and have used them on 8 fishing trips, all 8 times they've performed flawlessly. They have stood up fine to the brush and debris around rivers and lakes I've fished, often in the mountains. Easy to clean when back home and they fit good. No complaints from me at all, really happy with them.

Pros: good price for this product; lots of useful features on the design points; light material; good customer service.
Cons: to me as it's kind of flimsy; all the connection points where the sealing meet seems weak (not sure how good it will be in the durability); the overall length (inseam/outseam) does not work so well or make well senses with the foot size.
Recommend: not sure because I haven't used it yet (return), so I don't know.
