Thses are my second pair of waders.These are my first pair with the zipper I love them easy on and off and no more findind a spot on the bank to ungear to add to some extra water to the river. OK as you read in other reviews the problem with the zipper leaking guys this is a dry suit zipper yes they are water proof and yes they will leak if you dont maintain the zipper with some zipper wax this will help keep the zipper moving freely as well as keeping the seal between the zippers sealed so if you get some dry suit zipper cleaner and wax and every few trips out just maintain it you really shouldnt have a problem with them leaking.I will suggest for salt water use or dirty fresh water use I might do it after every trip.Other then that these really are a awsome pair of waders.I hope to get 3 year out of them like my last deadfall.Hope this helps fish hard fish safe and make those memories
great waders
