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

I ordered the mens size 8 boot. I am relatively small person 5'5" 160 lbs with a size 8 shoe and a 7.5" foot size. These wader boots fit great. I think these may be too long for anyone shorter than 5'2" as the straps may not provide enough pull up. They fit me fine and made me look like a real fisherman....which is what I was shooting for...well not entirely. I wore them 9 straight days wading in streams and in lakes up to my chest. I experienced no leaks or signs of wear and they are now hanging on the nice hanger provided in my closet. I was grateful to find this pair of waders for the low price point and quality and performance that enabled me to fish in comfort for this relatively rare event. I did not want to spend a ton of money on expensive boots that might not be used again before dry rot sets in. If your looking for a low investment with good functionality and looks, this is the one for you.

Extremely impressed. I've used waders my whole life and after recently puncturing a more expensive set on a stick in the woods, I opted to try these. I was extremely impressed. I used them for the last month trout fishing that consisted of walking through a lot of woods and a lot of streams up to about my waste. They held up much better than I expected, were waterproof, and I would buy them again and not waste my money on sets I've been buying for years at 3x this price. I do wear felt boots over the socks (not sure why everyone does not wear boots of some type). I think they are a bit smaller than most brands, but not too small. I bought according to the size chart, wore thermals underneath and a heavy sweatshirt and it was a perfect fit (although not much room to spare). I actually liked the tighter fit and did not find it restrictive. From a guy that fishes a lot and travels through rugged woods to get to the streams, I could not be more satisfied with these waders and would definitely buy again.

Get the next size up from whatever size wader you normally wear if you’re a bigger built person. For $85 these are definitely surprisingly durable (at least seem that way through first use). I wear XL in all other wader brands (6’, 250lb - “athletic dad bod”). The fit in the feet and legs are actually perfect, but the dad belly and my broad upper half barely fit into the top half with only a hoodie on, it’s going to be real tight with a coat on but I’ll make it work. I would order XXL if doing it again, just to get the extra chest space, and deal with the extra foot/leg material. Overall, I’m ok with them. Have owned several hundred dollar pairs of simms, redington, etc and none hold up longer than a season/aren’t what they were 10 years ago and longer. Figured if the expensive ones are made cheap anyway, might as well just try these cheap ones out and they can’t be any worse. We’ll see how long they hold up.

I purchased the nylon/pvc boot waders by Dark Lightning and decided to send them right back. They didn’t allow very good movement and they were extremely hot. The shoulder straps wanted to try to slip off my shoulders unless I tightened them so much that they gave me a wedgie.These waders have none of those problems. They allow great movement, seem to be very breathable and the shoulder straps are elastic and in a much better position. There is a night and day difference between the two. The front pocket is fairly large and the hand warmer material is very nice. The mesh on the front is not stretchy, but it seems to be ok.I will update my posting after my fishing trip this week. I will be hiking several miles and sometimes in rough terrain. It should be a good test. So far I would absolutely recommend this product. I am 6’2” 230 pounds size 13 foot and the extra large fit perfectly.Update:I am very happy with the waders. They performed very well. No leaks and very comfortable. I did hike up and down the river for about three miles at a time and that exertion made me sweaty, but I was not overly sweaty. I went through thick brush and they held up great. I loved the hand warmer pocket. Really I don’t have any negative comments about them. They seem very durable. Time will tell.

I like the product. It’s reasonably priced, overall I think they worked good. No real complaints. I do believe more pockets would be nice

This product is exactly as described. They are designed for heftier people to get the right stocking size I ended up with an xl for the size 11.5 foot. I don't, mind the extra room due to my need to use extra layers come winter. It allows me to keep my nice warm clothing nice and dry. In warmer weather it is a massive change from the old neoprene waders I had been using the past 10 years, finally not feeling on the verge of heat stroke by the time I get to my hunting spot and set all the decoys out. They help me stay light on my feet and don't hinder my movement when I need to change positions. They are nice and light, the pocket is a nice addition it keeps my keys safe and accessible. The material doesn't collect mud or hold onto water, I am thrilled with less mess in my car. The built in boot covers are a really nice feature boots no longer full of mud sand or gravel.

For the money they are spot onLet's see how they wear one season maybe two? Let's see

Spent a good seven hours in a river recently and everything I had on underneath was bone dry.

Hallo, eigentlich ist es eine schöne Wathose.Leider ist die Naht der Beine an der Innenseite. Bekannte Hersteller haben diesen Fehler erkannt und legen die Naht an die Vorderseite der Beine, as verhindert ein durchscheuern der Naht beim laufen.

due to size difference had to send back, was not amused, as ordered from amazon.uk and had to return to amazon US was cost over £30.
