Ive only used these for 5 days of fishing, so cant really attest to durability yet. These are really lightweight and pliable. A real problem with lower priced waders the last few to several years has been that the footies are clearly not sized with North Americans in mind. Having to get a XXXL to get a foot size over 9 means the waders completely envelope me, including my head, and Im 6 ft tall. All that extra horizontal material winds up vertical! I would have to cut eyeholes!
The size L I obtained easily and comfortably accommodates a size 11 foot, as claimed on the website. As long as these have a reasonable lifespan before the inevitable leaks start, Ill buy them again. I gave it a 5 for warmth; I should explain that is because they are NOT warm. I dont like getting overheated, and would rather vary the layer(s) under the waders according to water temperature, as I use them in multiple seasons and latitudes. If you want warm waders, these would not be a good choice.
Surprising quality for the price
