Waders

[RXN]

I've been riding with a cheap Canadian tire pair of chest waders, not sure the brand.
I got 5 years out of them. So thats pretty decent. But boy do I Sweat when wearing them.
I was considering the finntrail ones or the gator wader ones.

Found a gator wader i was leaning towards to find out my size on the size chart isn't available.

How accurate are these charts? Anyone go one size bigger? Any regrets?

Im not a fan of buying on line without knowing the fit 1st.

Also curious to hear any feedback on what guys ride with

I've got ten years out of a pair of neoprene Mosey Oak ....without going to look I believe they're Red Head? [Cabela's]
Yes, they can get warm on certain days. Depending on the weather depends what's warn...If it's a hot dry day, usually a pair of old jeans and rubber boots.
Rain suit and waders both starting to have the same issue, mud/grit wearing out the arse from sliding around on the seat.
Let's face it, no body likes Baboon A$$ from riding with wet jeans all day, lol.

As far as sizing goes, depends on your family tree and how you were put together. None of us got to pick that, lol.
I'm 6'-3" with a size nine foot, so if I buy waders to fit my foot they're usually to short in the body/straps. Male camel toe isn't a good look!

Ordered a pair of the Gator Waders.
Uninsulated. Went with size 14 King.
See what happens.
With shipping the dam things are 500 bucks.

Really hoping they are breathable like they claim

Make sure to share your experience with the new product once you have it. I am sure that it will be of good quality because of its price.

I will be sure to do so.
Buying clothing on line like this worries me.
I like to touch and see what I'm geting 1st.

I rode with a couple that had the finntrails and said they were worth it.

So fingers crossed the gator waders will be a good fit and work well.

I will post back when I get them and try them out.

I agree, relying on what you see on the internet is hard especially when it comes to clothes. They look good in the picture but odd once you have them. I really hope that this purchase will be successful on your end.

Stay tuned for ththe follow up posts

They showed up. Shipping was extremely quick. They are so thin and light. Fit is good. That was a big concern. Now I'm looking forward to trying them out and see how the hold up.
The boots look aggressive, even has side wall thread.

And a water proof pouch for my phone
As well as a patch kit.

And yes this is a mens wader. (I like the brighter colors).

Pretty flashy, should keep you dry

 

[RXN]

Yeah. Looking forward to trying them out.
I am happy how light weight they feel

 

[SHREK1]

They have any stretch to them ?

 

[RXN]

Its a neoprene material. Feels like there is some.

Not getting stuck.
Now thats a problem I'd like to have.

Tried out the new wadders.
Unfortunately the water crossings were shallow. But i found them to not be as heavy and hot to wear as my other ones.

As for fit. Sitting on the quad. I found them tight in the knees. So if you are bigger than me. They probably won't fit you. As these are Gator Wadders largest size.

And as per usual the boot seam rubbed my shin raw. So until they are fully broke in I'll have to wear longer socks. Or pants.


Overall I think they were worth it.
