TIDEWE Bootfoot Chest Wader, 2-Ply Nylon/PVC Waterproof Fishing Hunting Waders with Boot Hanger for Men Women Green Brown

Ok, I got the Tidewe waders last month. Was finally able to go test in the American River in CarMichael, Ca Sunrise Bridge area known for big cutthroat trout, huge salmon, and fun pan-size fish.Waterproof? Yes!Feel the freezing mountain runoff through the waders? Very much so. Wear long Johns and thick socks.Comfort? Fits perfect. I bought the size 9 mens shoe medium. Im 5'3" size 8.5 shoe.Can you walk comfortably in the waders? Not very far. You will feel the river stones once you're out of the water.Why not a 5-star? These things came stinking to high heaven of cigarettes. Im still airing them out a month later. Seriously, they stink bad of tobacco. You'd think they got blessed up pretty goot wit dem prayer, aye.Otherwise, they're good to go.

Haven’t used it yet as creeks are still deep and water is turbulent in the Denver area after snow and recent rainfall.. but it fits perfectly and exactly what I wanted.. seems durable and all the amenities I need !

I got these for putting a dock in and out at camp. Today was the first use and I was initially impressed, I went in right up to nearly the limit of the waders and was warm and dry the whole time. The boots were comfortable, and the fit was good. We were almost done putting the dock in when I started feeling a little water coming in (maybe 45 minutes in the water). Based on where I got wet I think the problem is at the seam between the boot and the leggings. I'm beyond the return window so I'll have to try to locate the leak and seal it up for this fall. For one-time or occasional use these work well but don't expect much longevity, I might opt for one of the inexpensive neoprene options if I can't find the leak.Amended: This was originally a 2-star review because of the leak but Tidewe refunded the purchase. So your mileage may vary with the waders but they do stand behind their product. Can't go wrong with that.

Took a chance on quality, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve used them multiple times in streams and brooks. Easy to put on, easy to clean, easy to store, and don’t break the bank.

These are my first pair of weighters and I feel like I look silly in them. But they fit well. I have it 4 stars because this was my 3rd time ordering them and keeping them. The other times I had to rerun. I followed the chart but still had to go up 2 sizes to get one that fit me well. Size up as the boot runs small

The material that these are made of is thin and I I was worried at first but they quite durable. Comes with a patch kit in case you get a puncture. I’ve been wearing them at work for a month straight without a hole.

Very reasonably price for the quality. It’s also a good fit based on the shoe size. I certainly would recommend.

I purchased these to wear while putting in our dock at the lake in early Spring and late fall. I was very comfortable and the boots were sturdy on our rocky shoreline.

I received the parcel way earllier than estimated. It is a reasonable price and quality product.

Overall:- Used for fieldwork.- Comfortable when sitting in the boat or bending down to collect samples but can get hot when it is sunny.- Mostly waterproof but my pants felt slightly damp (not soaked) when I took off the waders.(A different amazon reviewer recc. to test them out in the bathtub first. Make sure to sit in the tub for longer than a few minutes (which I didn't do). When I was doing fieldwork in the water, I noticed that parts of the suit went from light brown to dark brown with a seeping water pattern. (Not sure how long it took for this to happen but less than 1 hour).I'd recc. this product for short-term use (i.e., a one-off weekend fishing). If you want to use waders for multiple seasons, I'd invest in a more expensive pair.Package includes:The item came in a plastic bag inside a cardboard box which also included a hanger, cellphone pouch, and repair kit (located in the pocket). This box was placed in a larger amazon box. I tried out the hanger but it was kind of a hassle to use so I just used a regular coat hanger and crossed the straps to prevent it from slipping.I had already bought a waterproof cellphone pouch so I didn't test out this pouch.It'd be cool if the waders had a small loop near the pocket to string the cellphone pouch through to make sure you don't lose the phone.The front pouch of the waders is velcroed and is spacious enough for a phone but is annoying to open. I recc. having the pocket open at the top for easy access.Sizing:I'm 5ft 3in, less than 100 lbs, and a 6 or 6.5 W in street shoes (~ 23 cm)It's a bit big on me even with adjusted straps, belt and drawstring cord.They sit slightly below the chest. Boots fit well with a pair of thick socks.You can wear multiple layers underneath (long sleeve shirt, flannel, hoodie, and bug mesh shirt and thick pants (like sweatpants).Durability:I've walked through bushy shrubs and overgrown vegetation but I try to avoid sharp branches since I worry about punctured holes. You can feel the cool water (in ponds, lakes, rivers) against the waders but don't feel water inside the waders. The boots have pretty good traction (I've had to climb up hills and walk on slippery rocks and muddy areas). It's pretty easy to do fieldwork in them (i.e, bend down and collect samples) but make a pretty loud swishing noise when walking which might scare off animals.

Good quality for a low price. Used twice and didn't leak so call it a win

Feet in these are small watch your sizing.

Product comes in a wide variety of sizes and very comfy to wear. I just found that it can get easily pierced. Just make sure you watch your step and around bolting through bushes or trees with sharp or semi sharp thorns or ends.
