Piscifun Breathable Chest Waders - Stockingfoot Waders for Men and Women, Lightweight Fly Fishing Waders, 3-Layer Polyester Waterproof Stocking Foot Waders S M L XL XXL

I just received my Size Large waders today and would like to offer an initial review while they're on my mind. I'll try to do a follow-up once I've put them to good use. For reference, I am 5' 7" tall, 188 pounds and wear a size 10.5 shoe.- The stocking foot is snug, as noted by others, but I believe snug is better than the alternative. I tried on my waders wearing blue jeans and thin socks, but even without socks I believe they'll be a little snug. Once my wading boot is laced up and I'm in the stream fishing, I think I'll forget all about the snugness of the neoprene.- The inseam is longer than necessary (my pant inseam is 30"), but that should not prove to be a problem unless the material folds over underwater and creates a pressure point. That sometimes happens with waders, but I don't expect it to be a problem. The excess length will allow me to bend over and squat if necessary.- The shoulder strap and the belt are both elastic. I think that's a bad idea. They are more difficult to adjust than a regular web material, so once you get them perfect just leave them along. I have other waders with web shoulder straps, and I am constantly adjusting the straps depending on what I'm doing. I suspect that this type of thick elastic will take a while to dry.- Speaking of belts, the three belt loops are totally unnecessary. Unlike with regular pants, when you put your wading belt on it isn't going anywhere. Loops are absolutely useless. I'd go so far to say that the rear loop can be a nuisance, as a lot of people like to stick landing nets into their belts behind them. Suggestion: PisciFun, just eliminate this manufacturing cost and then pass the savings on to the customer.- The handy Velcro fly patch is mounted too low on the front of the waders. Up high, it would be more useful, but I prefer no patch at all. Most people don't use them anyway. If you do attach flies to this patch, you'll likely find that the water current and/or your vest and/or your shoulder bag will knock off the flies. Suggestion: PisciFun, if you're not going to do it right, just eliminate this "feature" and pass the cost savings on to the customer.- The wader "kit" comes with a nice mesh carrying and/or storage bag, but it also comes with a "bonus" clear waterproof smartphone bag. Let me ask you a question. Are your seriously researching your next set of stockingfoot waders based on whether or not they'll come with a phone case? I didn't think so. Neither did I. You're paying for waders, so don't get sidetracked. Suggestion: PisciFun, get with the program. Don't include unrelated crap in order to "sweeten the deal." Just stick to making good products that stand on their own. Surely by eliminating this cost you can lower the price of the waders.- The overall fit of the waders suits me fine. I'm about a 41" chest, and I feel that the waders are somewhat snug on my body, both in the legs and the torso. To me, that's not a problem. These are not pajamas! I'm not sure if I'll wear long pants underneath them; it'll likely depend on the time of year I'm fishing. But, even with long pants, I think they'll come on and off fine with a little patience. Once they're on, you'll be glad they are not huge on you.So, I've made some criticisms, but I believe the overall value for my money is quite good. These waders seem to be well built, and I am anxious to get out on the water to put them to work!

I’ve had these guys for a couple months now, and have used them on 8 fishing trips, all 8 times they’ve performed flawlessly. They have stood up fine to the brush and debris around rivers and lakes I’ve fished, often in the mountains. Easy to clean when back home and they fit good. No complaints from me at all, really happy with them.

Waders fit loosely enough that my legs are not compressed when wearing thick pants. I did order a medium instead of a small which is what the size chart recommended.

Good fit and seem sturdy enough

I'm very pleased with these waders after my first time using them.
