Used these for duck hunting for basically all of last season, and did quite a lot of it. I had bought a cheap pair before but they ended up leaking, so I bought these to replace them, and it was a huge improvement in every aspect!
The pros:
These are phenomenal for the price! Theyre watertight, warm, flexible, and durable! I had some decent length walks in them to get to the locations for hunting as well as decent walks through water and they held up great while not being very restrictive. Personally I only used the shell holder once, it works for the task but Ill get to that later. The water was very cold where I was hunting and overall it kept me warm despite me hating the cold (I was still layered up of course), and when it started to heat up outside I did not overheat in them.
The cons:
Boots werent quite as warm as I had expected. The sizing is also a bit disproportionate. Im 57 around 120 pounds and am a size 8; the boot size was good, a hair big but perfect for layering, the problem is I had to cinch up the shoulder straps as much as possible and they were still too long for my size so they ended up sagging a little low. As a result of the sagging the shell holder was hanging too low for my liking, also the shell holder holds shells well but doesnt like to release them quite as nicely.
I would certainly recommend these to anyone who is looking for a pair of waders especially people on a budget! While I may not have much to compare them to they did everything I needed and then some. They are perfect for a fairly mild climate and will be great for using all season whether its the warm or cold part of the season.
I returned these only due to size. I’m 5-10 3/4, 180 lbs, wear 34 waist 32 length jeans, and a size 10 shoe. I ordered large based mostly on shoe size because you can deal with a little extra bulk in a wader body but you can’t deal well with a tight small boot. Turns out this large was quite baggy and the boot would fit much larger than 10. I purchased a medium and it was a much better fit all around for my size. Hope this helps others with size choice.
I like the wadders alot the only thing I dislike about them is the larger pocket in the front should be a zipper pocket like smaller one because velcro is not big enough and always comes open other than that there great I just feel for 139 dollars I should have been made alittle better on the pocket
The quality is incredible first of all. I’ve watched my husband spend over $250 for waders not half this nice. I bought the size 10 for my son who is 5’9”, weighs 177lbs. and wears a size 10 boot. They fit him perfect. He loves the straps that are NOT Velcro and he thought the shell holder on the front was good placement. We bought our oldest son who is 5”11, weighs 175lbs and wears a size 12 boot the size 12. He said the same thing, they were perfect fit and loved the quality. The 800gram insulation is perfect for fall waterfowl with the cool Ohio weather. They also came with an extra strap. Would highly recommend this product.
These are awesome! They fit great an so much more comfortable that the pvc ones I’ve had. They are more comfortable than my neoprene ones for the hot days of summer! I love how they pack down well. The boot size is large, I like to have a wade shoe over them. So I will suggest a smaller size for that. But over all great build with nice amount of pockets
I really like that these come with a bag to store in and a way to hang them up. It is very convenient!! My others do not! These are awesome! They are too small for my hubby but they are good for my sons and I. They arent as heavy as other brands. They have kept all of us dry! I like that the boots are built in. I would definitely recommend these.

Quality and comfort
Waders were lite and and water tight breathable , fished for 5 hours in them . Excellent quality!
Really good purchase
Just a bit tight on the knee area when sitting. Really happy with my purchase !
I was impressed it got here so quick
I used the chest waders to work in water filled trenches putting in cable
Works very well!

The one front pocket velcro is to small
I like the wadders alot the only thing I dislike about them is the larger pocket in the front should be a zipper pocket like smaller one because velcro is not big enough and always comes open other than that there great I just feel for 139 dollars I should have been made alittle better on the pocket
