Breathable Waders For Waterfowl Hunting

(1/4) > >>

ChesapeakeMan:
Now that our season is over tell me how your breathable waders performed.  I am most interested in reports for Sitka Gear, Chene, Dive Bomb and High 'N Dry.  I intend to purchase a zip-front, bootfoot wader before next season.   Tell me about the fit/comfort and the durability.   Response to warranty claims and repair work will be a consideration too.  Thanks

The Roger's NXT breathable insulated waders are by far the best I've owned. I've gone through a lot of waders over the years, both neoprene and breathable and these have outperformed them all.  I'm on year 3 of them and wear them for everything from claiming, hunting,  fishing, and exploring outside.

ChesapeakeMan:
My future son in law uses those.  He has had really good luck with them.  I don't particularly like the fit of the body though.  His seem very baggy.  I am looking for a trimmer, more athletic fit.

I’ve been using Simms G3 stockingfoot riparian camo waders with cheapo frogg togg rubber sole boots for a couple seasons.

I’d hope those you listed have some sort of insulation. I’m generally comfortable down to around 30 degrees but below that it’s real difficult to keep the legs and feet warm.

They’re great for hiking in to spots and pulling my feet out of deep muck compared to bootfoots though.

ChesapeakeMan:
I use a similar method.  I have Redington Sonic-Pro HDZ waders and Korkers Buckskin boots.  A base layer and wader pants make them pretty comfy for me down to single digits.  Searching for something that will take on a little more abuse and the convenience of the bootfoot.
