Breathable Insulated Chest Waders, Perfect for 4 Seasons Fly Fishing Stocking Foot Waders for Men and Women

I bought these for my son who's seventeen years old to teach fly casting to on the local lakes. He's 5'10" 200lbs, size 13 shoe, an inseam of 31"and his waist is a 35" These breathable waders fit him perfectly with plenty of movement and stretch to accommodate. He waded in to his upper waist with no leakage or problem for an hours duration. I also like the inner seam is ousted to the outer portion of the leg as not to create a rub where water can get in eventually. I've only ever seen this with the Simms expensive waders, actually. Overall very happy with this purchase, they look good on also.

For context, this is coming from someone who is replacing her $200 Simm’s waders. I had been wearing my Simms for 5 months when they started to leak. I wear them for 40 hours a week, and I bushwhack through all kinds of vegetation, so I probably just abused them too much. They were my first waders so I don’t know if that’s the general durability for waders. My seasonal job ends in November, so I needed a new pair just for mid-September through November. I bought these because they were cheap and I only needed them to hold up for 6 weeks. I had been wading around with wet legs for weeks, so anything that kept me partially dry was going to be amazing. I’m writing this on 10/7. These have held up since I started wearing them on 9/22. That’s honestly more than I expected given the price and the amount of abuse I put them through. I do miss the luxury of the hand warming pocket of my Simms. The zipped pocket on this pair seems smaller, but possible more waterproof. What I am most impressed about is that the shoe hooks for the gravel guards have stayed intact. On my Simms, they lasted two days. These are holding on great. I am a shoe size 8, 5’4”, 140 lb woman. I bought the smalls. The foot is snug but I’d take that over having too much material. The torso doesn’t seem quite long enough, causing a wedgie, but the elastic of the straps is pretty forgiving (borderline too stretchy). I am so happy with these. I am skeptical that they’ll last me long, but for the price, I am very pleased.

Great product, however you probably should buy a size bigger than you normally wear.

These waders fit me very good. They are comfortable. I fish from a float tube most of the time and I fish most weekends all year long. I usually buy a new set of waders every 15 to 18 months. Most of the ones I have bought the stocking foot is too large and bulky. These waders are just right for me. Very happy with them.

I purchased these waders for local angling. They seemed well made for the price, albeit after using them daily for 2 weeks, the left side started leaking badly. There were not abused, there were no holes that I could find to patch, and the seams still appeared to be intact — it appears that the material itself was no longer waterproof. These might be okay for very occasional use or as an emergency backup pair, but I would not recommend them for situations where you are fishing frequently and need to stay dry.

Bought these so we could get in the water to clean out our koi pond. They worked perfectly. Tried a different type/brand first and they were no good - couldn't bend down in them and the attached boots were too big/bulky. If you were wearing these in open water, you'd probably want to figure out how to put on boots or something with them to make sure the footies are protected but in our backyard pond, I wore a pair of watershoes inside the waders to give me a more solid footing but otherwise wore the waders as they were and it worked out great. My husband didn't do any extra footwear inside his waders and all was fine. The footies are very thick and durable. Happy with this purchase.

Great waders and great for fishing in the summer

These are labeled chest waders, but don't count on that if you are in a "deep" choppy river. I am accustomed to Frogg Toggs coming up to my armpits, and also cinching closed with a bungee at the top of the waders. These do neither. I'm only 5'5" and the torso reaches only to the middle of my boobs. They gape badly in the back. If I don't move v e r y c a r e f u l l y, I am likely to get a dose of cold water right down my back. Otherwise, they seem fine. They have been in use since Jan 2023 & were worn several times a week by my partner during that month. He's 6ft tall so the waders were ludicrously short on his torso, but since he's so much taller than I am, it bothered him less. I wear them only as a last resort when my frogg toggs aren't available. We regularly use waders in up to 4 ft of water, which is too high for these waders to handle. If you are fishing in considerably lower water, say only up to your upper thighs, and don't worry about splashes, then these might be a good choice for you.
