Review on Foxelli Waterproof Chest Waders For Men And Women - Camo Hunting And Fishing Waders With Bootfoot Design, Made Of 2-Ply Nylon/PVC Materials by Brett Zhu

I bought these to get out on a pond on my property. It's overgrown with crap and I need to rip it all out, work on the inflow and outfall pipes, restack rocks and such. The boots are very grippy and fit my feet well with thick wool socks- I don't "walk out" of the shoes part.The pond water is very cold, but I was comfortable in a thin poly base layer, BDU pants and a fleece top. The fit was just right- not too loose and not too tight. I found the shoulder straps to be wide and stretchy, with good grip on the elastic. The catches are easy to fasten and unclip; they never came undone accidentally. The belt is wide and helps to reduce bulk. I didn't mess with the pockets. The waders seem just a bit stiff in cold water, but to me that helped me stay stable. I could also feel the extra protection in the knee area, and that's good as I'm not sure what all sticks and rocks are along the shore.I didn't rinse the mud and pond plants off the waders when I was done- they seemed to slide right off anyway. I let them drip dry on the back porch and they dried quickly, with no swamp smell. The storage bag is just big enough; a bit bigger would be nice.I think they are a super value for the price. Whoever specced them out did their homework for a well designed product at a super price. The company seems intent on ensuring each person is satisfied with their purchase, so order a set and see if you like them.
