waders

[Hen Talk]

i am looking to buy new waders. which type of waders are the best in yals mind

[Ben Graf]

I'm not the one to tell you which ones are the BEST being I'm not a wader expert by anymeans. But I've had the Mad Dog DU edition waders for a couple years and have liked them a lot. I picked them up for around $100.

If your like Foiles and spend 100 days in waders, you might want to buy some more expensive ones.

Depends on climate and what your doing.
If your in a colder climate I'd go with at least 1,000 gram insulated boots. For even colder climates, like where I'm at, I wear the 1600 gram neoprenes(very toasty!). I boat into my hunting places and the movement for the day is usually just setting decoys and some walking around.
I've been hearing great things about the breathable waders so if your in a warmer climate or where the temps don't get too cold they might be the ticket for you, especially if your moving around a lot or hiking into your hunting spots. Macks has a pair in the catalog that are 1200 grams of insulation in the boots.....check 'em out.

I Use the Cabelas Super Mags, very durable and used 90% of the hunting season. On 4th season with a few holes that I've patched but otherwise very good-tough waders.

i use the cabelas super mags as well....very comfy and very warm...plus cabelas will stand behind them

I use Cabelas 5mm's, they arent too warm in early season if you roll em down, and when it gets cold I just wear a pair of jeans under em and it usually works.

Got a custom pattern too, Its Max-4/Hodgman Wader Repair Cement lol.

Anyone know if cabelas will exchange em even though ive got about 10 or so patches on them? Noone told me phrag will cut neoprene when it breaks lol

yea were i hunt the climate is not to terrible cold(tennessee). i have had a pair of waders from a local farm store they were about ten years old and were made of canvas and i just have been wondering what type of waders everyone uses and which type seem to be pretty tough

I have had the best performance from Herters and Cabelas waders.

Well I guess I'm just real rough on waders. I only get one year outt a nepprene's before they either tear at the seems or I get a rip in them. I usually go threw 2 pairs of gloves too. I ended up just buying some $50 Northern Relection ones that are made of nylon. They work good. Not as comfortable as the neos but I have hunted them 2 years and xero issues. For the extreme cold (-25*c) I put on 2 pairs of woolies and 2 pairs of joggers and I do "ok". I bought them one size two big for that reason.

I have a cabelas waterfowler waders with 1200 gram insulation. Comes with a neoprene handwarmer, I love them the only problem is that the zipper in the handwarmer I put my phone in and the handwarmer had a small hole that it leaked into that zipper but that may be just a one in a hundred thing other people ive talked to havent had it happen to them. I love these waders and they are very comfortable and durable IMO i'll post a link to it below. Hope this helps you out!

I have the Drake LST Eqwaders. They are not cheap but I couldnt be happier. When I hunt I wear waders so for the time I spend in them it was worth the $.

[chevyman_2000]

am I the only one who eats the neoprene hunting equipment>? I get 1 MAYBE 2 seasons out of them before they leak like a siv.

I get about 2 years as well.

Best pair I ever had were the Cabela neo's with the pack boot liners. Very comfortable, very warm and lasted 4 years. They quit making them for some reason :( Why is it when someone makes a good product, they discontinue after just a couple years?

Well thats simple, they don't make any money if you don't have to upgrade and buy new stuff every year :p

I have never been cold hunting in icy water wearing Cabelas supermags.

[Hen Talk]

i was looking at the drake lst waders but didnt know how they would hold up

[dukbutr]

Cabelas return policy is unbeatable! I have had the Dry Plus waders four years now, If they leak, just return them for another pair no matter what you do to them.:D If you have to walk-in long distances this is the wader for you. Early season to late goose, ice, marsh, pothole, river, you name it they can handle it. AND NO QUESTIONS ABOUT RETURNS;):D

[james stern]

i have the drake LST waders and i have yet to be cold in them they are a little on the heavy side but other then that they flat out rock

[Derek Rambo]

I bought a pair of the Macks breathable's in Buck Brush before last season and have been VERY pleased with them!!

[CMooreDucks]

I bought some columbia quad waders a year ago and they only lasted about 1 season because the boot started falling apart. My next pair will either be hodgman or lacrosse.
