Highly recommended from an active small framed /average height woman - Size S
Ill start with this is the first time I felt a strong urge to review any product. I conduct wildlife surveys which require me to walk against a current in North Eastern US streams in spring and fall.... this isnt always an easy feat even when we wear good quality gear, a ton of reading reviews went into me choosing this product and I do not regret it. I have now been out in streams almost a dozen times over the past 2 months. That being said, pros and cons:
- Fit is comfortable especially with the sock that fits well with my mens 8 (7.5 womens typically) boot made by the same company. The only downside for me has been that my legs are slightly longer when I bend my knees (but I could adjust the shoulder straps and wear the crotch baggier technically), but the clip that attaches to the boot works its way loose maybe 2x per trip, slightly annoying but does not hinder me.
- Durable, as I havent gotten a hole yet and Im occasionally climbing downed logs with sharp sticks and snagging through briars.
-I like the color and they look good on (actually better than teal like some expensive womens waders).
-I love the belt, very comfortable feature.
-Inside front pocket would be ok to use and is a nice feature but its not waterproof (would only matter if water tops over into the waders), it does fit my phone but I still choose to carry my phone in a separate dry bag anyways. I would not trust the 2 outer pockets with anything that you do not want to get wet, Ive tested these with things that could get wet.
Ill just reiterate, they arent perfect but very functional and comfortable to do the job and withstand lots of activity at a reasonable price!!
