Initial product review before use.
I am an avid FlyFisherman. I have been fly fishing for over 25 years, and have worked in Fly shops so I know product very well. I am particular about the type of waders I wear. I need to have specific things on my waders , not just for convenience , but for safety as well. I purchased these waders in a medium knowing they were going to be a little big. A little big is what I wanted because of layering. I know that these waders are geared more twords mens measurements which means they will fit different than women's waders. I prefer Simms waders ,however I am going through some health changes and needed something for now. With all this being said, I would like to say that these waders are a great price point for what they are with ALL of the things I could ever want in 1 wader! They are well made, andthey are convertible! Meaning the shoulder straps have a system that allows you to push the top of the waders down so you can wear them as pant waders but the suspenders stay on. They have both the inside flip out pocket, the water proof front pocket , and the fleece lined hand warmer pockets. They have two (hidden) caribeaner clips , as well as little loops sewn to the front. I will use the little loops to clip my forceps too and have them attached to the carribeaner. There was a review on here that said the belt does not need loops to keep the belt in place. That is their preference, but I for one will not purchase waders without belt loops. They are needed for safety. If you were to fall in the river or a lake it is important that your belt is secure in place and can not slide. You will have more body mass than water mass, however that secure belt slows the process of the waders filling up. If it slips out of place water can seep in at a faster rate. The belt loops are important for this reason. The neoprene booties are good quality and the proper thickness as well. The seams are taped and they have skid bumps on the bottom for traction. (I will not be walking around in my stocking feet, I take no chances for getting a hole in them.) A lot of people don't know this but neoprene floats. So if I am to fall in the river , my feet go down stream and I lay back, the feet will be floating up with the help of the booties. There are built in gravel guards with a hook that you hook onto the meatl D ring or laces on your wading boots to keep them in place. I also have a habit of shoving a water bottle, fly box etc... down the front of my waders essentially using it as a kangaroo pocket. There is a draw bungee that you can use to cinch the top of the waders tight. There is also a D ring at the base of the "Y" that holds your suspenders together that you can hook your net and other things to. I use a magnetic retractable leash that I will hook to this D ring. The fly patch is a great add too. I will not necessarily use it to dry flies on, but I will use it to hold the flies I am switching over to, while I remove the one I am replacing it with. Or simply have it hold the "Next in line fly " I plan on usingif the previous one is not getting the results I would like. Whoever designed these waders took all of the things one would want or need in a pair of waders and put them on these. I do not have to pay extra for an inside pocket or any of the other little things that a lot of other wader companies make as an "add ons". The good thing is , if you don't use these extras , they do not get in the way at all. I will have to make a minor adjustment in the suspenders as they are a bit too long but this girl is not gonna complain about that! I have not used these waders yet (just got them today) I fish on a regular basis so these will definitely be put to the test. I will come back and do a review on performance after I have used them, an adequate amount of time.

Well made But BIG
They looked quality sent them back because they were very big in the waist and chest and feet . I am 6’2” 180lbs with a size 12.5 foot. I like my waders slightly loose so I can layer up , but I was swimming in the large . They seemed great and I would have been happy to keep them had they fit. If you’re bigger than I in those areas these seemed very well made but they don’t have a size that will fit me .

Returned but...
I did return these as they were huge. The feet and the fit of the waders was way off for me. I took a gamble since the reviews were pretty good. The only thing I really didn't like besides the fit, were the shoulder straps. They are difficult to put on/off since they are permanantly attached. Makes it a challenge to get in and out of them.

Love the Pockets!
I love having pockets because there is always so much stuff to carry, that you want to have on hand. These are easy on, easy off and the hook at the bottom for the shoes is a cool idea. They are pretty lightweight and comfortable. They even throw in a few extras, which is always a nice bonus. For just under $100 this is a nice set of fishing waders. Though if you’re in between sizes I would definitely size up.

365 day warranty
These waders are not heavy at all, or bulky like the old style waders. Comes with plenty of pockets for storage. Seller does provide a size chart but I did not use it when selecting my size, but they fit close enough and will work. Has an advertise one year warranty. Waders are comfortable, easy to put on and take off. They are working great at this time.
