CADDISMen's Taupe Affordable Breathable Stocking Foot Wader

I have really have enjoyed these. I can fish all day and stay comfortable and dry. The breathable feature is excellent. These waders are feature packed. They come with an easy to use wader belt and built in gravel cuffs. There is a handy front zipper pocket that will hold a cell phone, (pocket is not water proof, so I use a couple of baggies), and there is a space to warm your hands or stow, used line or a used energy bar wrapper. The suspenders on these waders have high quality fasteners and I like that one side connects male to female and the other side is reversed. This set up prevents me from ever getting the suspender straps twisted. The neoprene booties on these waders work well and have kept my feet warm in 50’ water. I have used these five times so far. We fish in rough areas, with some bushwhacking involved and I have had no issues with leaks or snags. No issues at all other than one of the grave cuff coming unhooked from my wader boots occasionally. I have additionally used these a waders a couple of times with an open top kayak and the are comfortable to sit in as well as walk and wade. On one occasion I made a misstep on a big rock and took a quick unplanned “dip” in about three feet of water. The wader belt did it’s job. I was wet on the top, but no water from the wader belt down so I stayed dry. (For safety sake, always wear your wader belt). I have been very pleased with features and quality of these waders. They shipped in the correctly labeled box, with suggestions for care and a small patch kit. I have been very pleased with this purchase. Terry from Texas

It's basic but pretty light. It does the job though. Hubby got those to use during the warm summer months. Does not have an inner pocket so you will need something to store tou stuff. But pretty spacious so you can wear warm clothing underRecommend

I fly fish with the sort of people who laugh at the idea of waders that cost this little. They spend $400, minimum, and even that they regard as "cheap."So these are considered budget waders but these have been in the same water and weeds and brush filled hills on the banks of lone rivers as the $800 waders and THESE came out unscathed and in one piece.I really like these waders. They're really comfortable, fit well, and take a beating.If I could fix one little thing it would be the tightness about the lower calf. But I am also a big guy that doesn't fit clothing well, so to nitpick these waders along those lines seems unfair.The neo attached feet run a little big which, for me, is perfect. I don't want super tight because of both comfort and I count on the tightness to fill up some room in my over sized boot. It's not a ton of extra. They're not a full size too big. Maybe a half size.I am on year two of fishing with these and they have held up to everything including washing and one year left outside in a MN winter. I can't recommend them enough.

There are no belt loops for the belt, very frustrating with it falling off and dropping gear constantly.

Wear a 32 waist 30 inseam pant, size 9 shoe. Took a chance on the size small and they fit great! Not too baggy. Bought the caddies northern guide wading shoe size to match. Good value combo. I like them every bit as much as the more expensive pair being retired.

I just recieved these waders and am very pleased. I had reservations about buying waders without trying them on first. Value priced waders are often one size fits most affairs that are very baggy; these are not. The size charts at the Caddis website are very accurate. These waders are not baggy, but are just loose enough to accommodate a pair of jeans or pants, etc underneath, however they do not restrict movement. I am 6'2" and 230lbs and the large size fits perfect. I also have larger than average legs, which creates problems when buying jeans, but there were no problems with how these fit.These are not the green color in the picture by the way, they are taupe (light tan color) like the description says, so heads up.All in all These are by far the best waders I have seen for under $200 Had they cost twice what I paid ($87) I would have felt they were worth it. I did a ton of research and feel like there was nothing even close to this deal.

I made a trip to see a relative in Colorado in August and did not want to pack my heavy neoprene waders on the plane so ordered these and had them shipped there. Was very pleasantly surprised at how nice these waders are. I only fished in them for a week, but they are lightweight, cool, and most of all they fit exactly like the Caddis website says. I am 5-9" and 180 pounds and usually order a size large in everything, but their website strongly suggested a size medium so that's what I reluctantly ordered. They fit GREAT. Use their sizing chart and you'll love these waders too.

These are the first waders I have used.. I've been wet-wading for 30 years. Feel stupid that I had not made this small investment years ago. The medium size is fine for me at 5-10 190lb. I bought some second had sneakers that are a size too large and am set. Used them about 8 times last summer and once so far this spring. So far so good. I would rate these very high on a cost per performance. very good value.

Before you use these waders I would advise that you turn them inside out and examine the seams closely. I did this and found them immaculately taped.... except for one spot where the leg attaches to the boot. At this spot the tape created a sharp crease in the fabric, a crease I had a feeling would wear through in no time. I considered returning them but it was an easy fix so no problem. Otherwise, the fit is very good and they seem to be well made. I've only worn them a handful of times but they are holding up so far.

I was a little worried about these waders given the price but have found them to be quite sturdy.

Lightweight, breathable and no leaks. The only suggestion would be belt loops for the belt.

Light weight and water proof

Great fit and performance - not too hot for summer fly fishing
