Super fast delivery, 10 days sooner than estimated, quality looks excellent. Cant wait to try on the water.True to sizing, I'm 5ft 9inch with an athletic build and the small is a perfect fit.

First of all I must say how pleased I am with the service I have received from Amazon regarding this purchase. I tried to buy a set of these waders whilst in Florida (Bass. Pro) and was frustrated by a lack of inventory in the store. So when I returned to the UK I tried to order by mail. Still no luck. Then I searched Amazon and found the exact waders in the exact size I wanted. The price was better than Bass Pro and delivery was very reasonable and extremely fast.They fit perfectly. I was pleased that a waist belt was included. As is a repair patch. I have yet to use them in the river but they appear to be well made and comfortable. I am 5'6" and rather a rather rotund 180 lb. So the medium stout are a great fit.

Great looking set of waders for the price, can't wait to try them this Spring to see how they performI am 5'-10", 180 lbs and ordered the medium size, they fit great but the neoprene socks are large for my size 10 feet.

Very happy with these waders, fits perfect, nice and light and great for spring & summer fishing. The only thing is the booties are on the big size but they fit well in a pair of large boots that I ended up buying. I have been wearing them nearly everyday since I've gotten them and holding up very well. For the price I paid I don't think you can find a better wader, I also have a pair of neoprene but just too hot in summer, the caddis are perfect.

Previously I have owned Simms waders and I needed a new pair but I really didn't wanna go drop from 350-750 depending on model on a pair of Simms waders but I still wanted a quality pair of waders. So I got these waders for about 1/3 the price of a pair of sims waders. Are Simms waders better ? Of course. But at the price point are Simms waders 3x better? Most definately not. When I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised that these didn't look like $100 waders they actually looked good. The build quality was good material was good seams were taped. So now it was a happy me. The size. I am 6'2" 225lbs with size 11 ft and I ordered an XL and the fit is damn near perfect. There is a bit of play all the way around so I don't feel trapped but not so much were I feel like you could fit another person in here with me. The belt is a nice feature as well. The socking foot could be a tad smaller but I knew it was gonna be aSize to big anyways. They fit beautifully in my size 11 Simms boots and I am overall super happy with my initial impression upon unboxing and trying on. Now to see how they hold up. I will write a review in a couple months time cause I usually spend 3 days a week In the water so we will see if they stand the test of time. Ok so almost 3 months have past and I am happy to say the waders are holding up beautifully. I have used them maybe 30 times and still just as waterproof. I do take care of them and properly dry them but I am very happy with my purchase. One thing they could do to improve waders is attach either belt loops to waders or Velcro so you can attach Velcro belt holders. I lost my belt first day which sucks. So I want. Elf loops

I purchased these waders a few days before my first two fly fishing trips ever. I preferred the stocking foot option so that I could get a set of boots that were more versatile than the conventional lug bottom rubber boots that come on the complete wader sets. I am a short guy, stocky build, so the sizing is a bit awkward for me but that's no news, sizing sucks for me on everything. At 5'5 with a 34" waist and 30" inseam, the mediums are about 2-3 inches too long but fit well around the midsection. The neoprene booties are entirely too big though. I wear a size 9 wading boot and these waders said they fit up to a 10.5... Yeah, well, they can fit up to about a size 13. I also ordered a size small wader, but sent them back when the waist and butt was too tight and the booties were still 4 sizes too big... doesn't make any sense to me, and that's why I gave these waders 4 stars instead of 5.So other than the neoprene booties being ridiculously huge in proportion to the rest of the waders, these are really great. I have worn them both as chest waders, and rolled down with the belt holding them as hip waders as well. Because they are lightweight, you can hike around in them for a bit without overheating. I have done quite a few up and downstream hikes of a mile or two in 80 degree heat without getting hot. They are comfortable, the pockets are handy, the included wading belt is a must for safety, straps adjust easily and stay put, and the neutral color wears good with dirt/moss from the stream. Because they have neoprene booties, you will get a bit damp from the mid-calf down, but even after a few hours standing in the river up above my knees, I was still dry enough that a couple minutes sitting on the tailgate dried me off. Probably just condensation from my warm legs and the cold river/lake water. Overall, I definitely recommend them, and I have to a few fly fishing buddies. And for the price point, you can't beat these with any other wader I have seen... They're comparable to lightweight waders twice or three times the price! Buy them... now... And be happy.

After convincing my wife to let me get an early Father's Day gift of a full set of fly fishing gear, I set out looking for the best quality products at the best price. After reading several online reviews on waders, having some real-world experience with different varieties, and trying on several different brands and sizes at my local outdoor supply store - I went to Amazon.com! I found these and instantly knew I had come across a can't-pass deal. These same waders cost $130 at my local store - on sale! I had actually settled on a very basic pair of breathable chest waders - with no pockets, reinforced knees, gravel guard, or any other features - which were on sale there for $89.These have excellent reviews and, in my opinion, are the best breathable waders for the money. I bought the X-Large Short Stout size and they fit perfectly. I love the breathable material. As soon as you step out of the water, your legs begin to ventilate - compared to classic neoprene waders that remain stuffy and "tropical" inside throughout the day. There were no holes or leaks in mine, but I love that they came with a repair kit with patching instructions. The gravel guards clip onto my Korker wading boots, and were very successful in keeping gravel out of them.The pockets are plentiful, large, and easily accessible. They are very easy to get in and out of. The reinforced knees are very nice, and the waders look good overall.I highly recommend this product to anyone in need of breathable chest waders. I challenge you to find a better bang-for-your-buck option out there!
