I bought them for my girlfriends son when he goes to spend the summer in Alaska with his father. Once they arrived he put them on and said they were so comfortable. Took him to the lake to wade in the water, and they are definitely waterproof, and very durable. I strongly recommend these waiters. Amazing product.
These waders seemed like an aming purchase, until the 3rd time I wore them. I was only in the water for a few minutes before they were completely filled with water. At first water started to come in somewhere around my left foot, and then it poured in. Furthermore, as the water started rushing in the left side, it started coming in around my right foot. It wasnt like a small leak either. I had to completely remove them to make it back to shore.
I love these lightweight waders. I had a different pair for winter that were made of neoprene, but they are way too hot to wear when the weather is warm and they are so restrictive that it is difficult to walk more than a few feet. These lightweight waders are fabulous, even for long walks. We live near (okay, you got me//we actually live IN) the swamp and a lot of times, I need to wear waders if I want to cross the streams to see the birds further in the swamp as I go bird watching almost every day.
These waders are light to wear and Ive worn them in water up to my waist and had no leaks. Of course, I plan to spray all the seams with that rubber spray paint in the future to ensure that, but despite my walking around in them in the swamp where there is a lot of debris and water, Ive had no leaks. And they are a pleasure to walk in. I bought a size that was half a size larger than what I normally wear and the feet fit, but were not as loose as I expected, so I would say that buying a half a size to an entire size larger than what you normally wear is a good idea.
The waders come with a belt (thank goodness) so they stay up in the proper position to allow freedom of movement. That was the problem with my old waders//the crotch kept going down to mid/thigh and acted as a hobble: these waders do not have that problem at all so they were very comfortable even when I was walking a mile or more.
They also come with a little halter/hook strap that can be hooked around the boots so that they can be hung upside down to dry them. This is a great idea and works well. In fact, my pair are hanging up now after use yesterday. They also come with a little waterproof pouch for cell phones. The pouch hangs around your neck//my cell phone fit perfectly (I have a Pixel 4XL in a case) and I could still use the phone while it was in the case. That was a real added bonus that I hadnt anticipated.
The waders fit loosely, which is good for me as it allows freedom of movement. I almost forgot to mention that there is also a little front pouch on the chest, and the waders also come with foot pads you can insert in the boots. I actually prefer to insert gel insoles, but at least they did come with the pads which work fine, too, although they are a little thin.
For the price, I cant believe how well these waders work for me. Of course, everyone is different and has different needs, but these have been exactly what I needed to the point where Im thinking of buying a second pair just to keep them on hand for the future. It seems like whenever I find a product I really like, they stop making it. Thats pretty much the story of my life, so as I write this, Im really thinking, hmmm, I need to buy that second pair right now! It works.
My boy needed a size 14 which you can never find in a retail store. Bought this for him for trout season, he loves them! Great quality and are holding up very well! Very good value.
My husband wore these for the first time earlier this week. While he was in the water, he noticed his leg felt wet. Sure enough, there was a small hole near the back of his hip. He couldnt remember a time when he could have ripped it (didnt feel anything). We are unsure if they came with the hole or if they are just such lightweight material that it easily ripped. He needed to use them the next day so they are currently patched with duck tape. Hopefully that holds and no other places rip. Does the job.

Ive never tried Waders before! Im now on a lake and expect to use several times to clean my boat!
Although I have tried these in the water. I like the way they got and they appear very light! Like!
Look like they will keep me dry for years to come!
When I ordered my size, it actually fits like a glove. Nice waders! Beautiful and Sturdy.
Very durable hip waiters!

They leak after a few times of using.

Great product As described would buy again.
Lightweight, comfortable, and comes with nice extras

Light weight but a wee bit tight
They are wonderful except a little small. However useable and very light weight. Works well.
Excellent light weight waders.
Excellent waders. They held water tight. Excellent price. Very durable.
Incredible value
