Thanks for a great review of some of what is currently available. I will probably be buying the High and Dry waders soon. Two of my friends have recently purchased the $1000 brand but I just cannot justify that.
I just bought a set of drake waders, expensive, but what sold me was a 40% off discount for military/vets and that discount helped me alot, get a great pair
I recently had a pair of tidewe waders and after wearing them all through duck and steelhead season I wore the heel on the inside of the boot completely out. Due to the waders being literally destroyed after a season I definitely don’t recommend tidewe waders unless you get the higher end options.
@@ryanwehrli9411 They are. Thats why they are left out of comparisons, no one can compare with them. Now you can buy a new pair of waders every couple years , or you can buy a pair of Chene’s with a lifetime warranty and be done. They are high I give you that, but what top of the line product isn’t ?
Thoughts on banded waders? From my research. I wanted some RealTree max-7 camo waders and from what I find Banded and Lacrosse waders are the only brands that have them and Banded has a 2 year warranty. As well lacrosse waders don’t have the best reputation Banded seem convincing with with what I see
@@Owen_5505 I personally have not used the banded or lacrosse waders before so I can’t speak on that, your best bet is it to lookup the pair you want and do as much research as possible and look for reviews. We have been running high and dry waders and they have been awesome for us.
Didnt see the upper end tidewe waders, those are mid grade, do a review on the tidewe 1600g zipper waders and lets see your opinon then, oh and the boots are not anything like those tidewes.
Thanks for the info. Are the High & Dry sized tight or loss in the toe part of the boot and is the ankle part snug? Wide foot/thin ankle syndrome here, who walks. Hip boots are nice until ya step into a 5' gut! Thanks again
I feel like just getting some goofy pins and pinning them up lol. Gotta find some funny ones 🤣. I just got my set today! Can't wait for trout opener! Lol
Can Someone in the industry please let a manufacturer know, if they make a boot foot wader (breathable) with cleats on the boots you will sell tons. Means nothing to you southern guys probably but guys that fish and hunt in their waders will appreciate it. I’m tired of having to buy stocking foot waders and hunting waders.
I bought The High N Dry and got a leak on the first use. 4 holes in 3 years. They are not tough or durable. Personally will never buy again. Like the long straps, makes them easier to grab when putting on.
@@cowboycolt5014 mine has plenty of room the chest area to fit layers on. And I use the hip belt to tighten everything down tight to my body so there isn’t any material flopping around.
