Couple of Quick Banded Reviews after 4 hunts:
Closer 2L Tech Insulated Jacket
Pros: Light, Warm, Waterproof. Spent a full day on a rainy hunt and the jacket kept me nice and dry.
Cons: Fit and finish- a few loose threads. The cuff closures are kind of weak.
Overall I might recommend. Feels as good as any I have had.. fit and finish is a concern long term.
Redzone Breathable Waders
Pros: Breathable, Side Zippers to adjust chest.. great to tuck in a jacket, lots of room. They fit high in the back for more coverage in deeper water. Super comfortable waders with good features.
Cons: Fit and finish- quite a few loose threads. Reinforced knee area (for durability) started to unravel, poor quality. Suspenders do not clip, you have to stretch them to fit. At 6'3", 285lbs.. the suspenders need clips. These are not going to last and are already showing signs of weak spots.
Overall I would not recommend. The fit is awesome and material is great. Features are great. Pattern is great. Quality stinks. Suspender design stinks. Had to exchange for a new pair after 4 hunts.
Banded set out " to develop the most comfortable, lightest, most practical, bad-to-the-bone breathable waders ever made". I would say they succeeded in doing just this as they could have been the best waders I have used. Unfortunately quality control was not included in their quest.
