I am still dry

Rating:*****
I am loving them so far. They are still fairly new (only used 5 times) but seem built to last. I am 6'2" about 180lbs so tall and fairly thin and the size large fit great. when I first tried them on I didn't like the bulky pocket in front but have since come to really like it (good access to phone, keys, camera, etc.) They seem really durable...time will tell-

Really great and great deal

Rating:*****
I bought extra large so I could wear warm clothes beneath these waders for fly fishing for silver salmon in Alaska. They are great and I love the large exterior chest pouch where I can keep a large box of flies handy and also my camera and car keys.

So far so good!

Fit's perfect. Very slimming. I have purchased 3 set's of Hodgman waist high wadders over the last two years. They all seemed to last about 6 trips before the flood's came. Cra#*y product! These seem to be holding up. Not very breathable though.

Fantastic Waders

Rating:*****
I use these waders in the streams and rivers in central NY. Comes with a handy mesh bag to keep them in while not in use. Couldn't ask for a better pair of waders for the price.

Negative Reviews:

Leaks

Rating:**
I was just getting ready to give these a positive review after about a half dozen outings, and then they started leaking around the top of the gravel guard like other reviewers have warned about. Does not appear to be from abraision, although my waders endure a fair bit of brush busting. Must be a seam problem. I haven't had any complaints about the breathability as others have, but simply because of the dark color I would not recommend for warm, sunny climates (fine for PNW where I am). Only other complaint is that the gravel guards are not long enough -- have to wear a pretty high boot and they still want to pull up over the top, thus letting gravel in and defeating the purpose. Bottom-line: better choices out there for the money.

Wore out fast

Rating:*
I loved the material and the fit, the problem was that the neoprene feet wore out in a matter of a few weeks. I took care to rinse them everytime I wore them and same for my boots, but with a small amount of sand and gravel they wore out faster than they should. The feet are usually the last things to go on other styles, with the material being easily torn or puntured.

Wore out on inseam within days

Rating:*
I was very excited when I received these waders. They looked to be put together with good materials. After two days fishing in Yellowstone the material on the inseam wore through. If you buy these waders make sure you don't walk any distance.

Breathable not!!

Rating:*
Material is bullet proof to be sure but BREATHABLE?!? My dead aunt breathes more than these waders. Good for floattubing in the summer but if you have to hike any distance, be ready to sweat...alot!

wore out

Rating:*
material wore through at the seams, didn't tear, wasn't punctured, it actually wore through it's self after only a couple of weeks (about 6-7 days of actual use)
