These waders worked great for us. I ordered a pair for my husband and I. We both didnt have any issues. It does feel cool/colder when you go into the water like it might be leaking, but we always came out dry. The only thing I wish they had was felt bottoms for the river rocks. We went on a week long trout fishing trip and wore these from sun up to sun down.
Pros:
CHEAP, Good Material for the price (thicker than I expected), dry fast
I caught fish in these waders, cant complain too much
If you are looking for a pair of okay/functional summer fishing HOBBY waders, look no further.
Cons:
My calves are damped after 4 hrs of fishing in a lake the first time I used it. Not soaked, damped.
You will get sweaty in this. Cheap material. Im 62 180 lb, wear 10.5 shoes. Wader boots are a bit small for me.
Summer fishing and light duty use only. Not build for winder and heavy water.
If you are looking for a solid pair of waders, there are better options at the 100 section
I like how lightweight and water proof they are. They work perfect for fishing, stream crossing, and walking around in the water. Because they are lightweight I would be weary about doing strenuous work in them or hiking through thick bushes or blackberry bushes because they may puncture. Otherwise crossing rivers have been comfortable with lots of grip on the boots!
Trying on the waders, I noticed my crotch area is a little tight. Seems to ride up my backside. It could be user error but its uncomfortable a little bit. The material is perfect for trout fishing and we hope to use it during the fall salmon run. The inside pouch is great for easily accessible items and the waterproof zipper comes in handy too. I cant wait to fish in stream.
As long as the water wasnt past my shin, they were fine. Might add some insert, not super comfortable. I did stay dry. If you only fish shallow river, these might be fine with inserts.
Bought them in December, but never used them until today (May). Outside the return window, just my luck. The left leg leaks. Filled up the boot in 15 minutes. I liked them and would recommend them, if they didnt leak. Shouldve tested them right away even if my Koi pond is about 40 degrees. Next time the bathtub will be the test facility. Yall want to stand by your product? Ill change my review.
These are great for the price but dont order if you are a small shorter woman/man because they are super tall/long and huge in diameter. I wish they had a short size and skinny version. Then they would be perfect. I am going to keep them and try to do something at the top so i am not swimming in them with the bibs and strap in my neck area. Lol! Really like them for the price though so if you are big and tall, these are great!
Great product but after using them a couple times it seems like the water/resistance might eventually wear off. Mine were a little tight on the crotch area when I first put them on. It may be because I have short legs but after i increased the overall strap length it seems to help. For 40, what can you expect. Good product, great price.

Have not used them yet but are comfortable and light.
Worth it

They are ok. They work.

There is a leak in the right foot
The wafers are light In easy to get on. The only negative was after about 10 or 15 minutes my right foot started getting wet
Test them ASAP
