Best waders for the money |
| Rating: |  |
| I bought this pair as an upgrade from the baseline Orivs Clearwater waders. After one season of fishing 4-5 times a week from April until mid-November in the Fingerlakes region of upstate NY they are still in great shape (read:lots of falls into rocky gorges). The gore-tex material looks lightweight and I was afraid I was going to tear them pretty quickly, but they have held up much better than my previous waders, which the seams gave out on after two years of use. The lightweight material also means that they are much more comfortable for long days on the water and they are cut big enough to allow for layering underneath. Another hugh upside to these waders is the gusseted crotch. They are designed to allow freedom of movement that a lot of other waders cannot match. It is nice to be able to actually take large steps or climb over boulders in my waders. The major downsides are that they sit very high on my chest (almost to my neck. I am 5'10" and got a Large), the gravel guards make slipping my legs in and out of them difficult especially in cold weather and the buckles on the wading belt and the suspenders are not very sturdy (I may have to replace them this coming season. All in all a very good wader however. I would favorably compare them to much more expensive waders. |

| These waders have a great fit and are unbelievably breathable. I do a lot of backcountry fishing, and they are perfect for it. You can hike upriver all day and not get too sweaty - and I sweat a lot! Fabric seems lighter than other waders, but so far it has held up admirably. They are also compact and light for backpacking purposes and they have a great fit. My favorite feature is the upper portion - from the waist up is a lightweight Gore-tex fabric similar to that of a ski jacket. It cuts a lot of unnecessary weight - how often are you really immersed in water up to your chest for any amount of time? It keeps you dry up top without the weight of a 5-ply fabric. And you can easily fold it down and tuck it in for shallower waters and on hot days. Also, nice Scholler gravel guards and warm booties. Perfect for the adventure fisherman who covers a lot of ground in a day. |

| Two intense full seasons and still working perfectly. I fish the Grand Ronde through March with air temps in the teens and with a simple base layer I stay warm while my rod guides freeze. They are also tough, I caught my lower leg in a snag of barbed wire and thought my day was through, it wasn't. Not a rip or tear and no leakage. Lightweight and easy to move in. |

| Very slim through the legs, so they are a bit more difficult to get on and off, but they are great in the water... |
