CADDISMen's Grey and Brown Northern Guide Breathable Stocking Foot Wader

These are great waders at any price point. What makes them so good is the many sizes they come in. These are the first waders I have worn that fit so well. I have only used them since the beginning of this season, but they have held up well, and I think that is because of the fit. The quality of the waders themselves seem to be on par with wader with a much higher price point. I recommend them, especially if you are a hard to fit size.

This is an out of the box first impression.I haven't taken them fishing yet.First off, sizing. I purchased Medium Regular.I am 5'10". Wt. 165lb. 31" waist, 44" chest.They are SO much lighter than my Caddis neoprenes.The overall fit is correct with one exception I will cover later. My range of motion is unhindered.I can sit comfortably and can even run in them. (in place, tested inside, on a rug). I try to never run in waders unless I'm chasing a big fish.They are MUCH tanner than the ugly photo would indicate. For this I am thankful.They appear to be very tough.The reinforced areas look like they will do the job.There is enough room left to layer up for winter steelhead. I can easily sit and stand up with them on.The calves are not generous, but I'm fairly thin.The wading belt would be well served with at least one loop, but that's hardly a deal breaker. They can be converted down to waist highs because the shoulder straps have opposing buckles. That will be nice on hot days standing in a cold river.The feet are a little snug, but that's because of the size breakdowns. The rest of me is Medium, I'd be lost in Large waders with bigger feet.The only real issue I have is that the tape band that runs from the heel over top of the foot is pretty tight.I haven't laced up my boots over them yet and won't do so until I am going fishing, but I think it will work out as I get used to them.Pay attention to size. I am pretty much who they designed Medium for except for my feet.These are some very nice waders.If I wore 10-10.5, instead of 11, I'd probably give them 5 stars.

..... and getting him out of my hair for a few hours of fishing now and then is always a good thing! It took ordering twice to get the size right. You really have to measure your guy and pay close attention to the size chart (there was one on the box and its also on the website). He loves it, so far. Has only worn it a couple of times though. He wears some kind of special socks, thick knee high length made for wearing with waders to keep his feet warm. He says he wishes his boots were a bit larger to fit better over these layers. I worried about him falling and heaven forbid drowning the couple of times he's gone out wearing these, but he recently purchased a retractable rod thingie that will undoubtedly help make his experience much safer. He learned about this tool from some literature that came with the waders. So thank you!

These waders are well build, comfortable to wear and perform as expected. the fact they they have an assortment of sized make them an even better choice since you are more likely to get a set that fits OK without having extra bulk you don't need from them being to tall or big around.there is one quirky design thing though. the front pocked, that has the water resistant zipper, opens to a pocket that is actually just between the front flap and the hand warmer liner. that hand warmer liner is fleece material (to keep your hands warm) but it is not at all water proof, so if you stick your cold wet hands in that hand warmer pocked, what ever was in that zipper pocket is going to get wet. They have a vinyl water proof bag you can get that can be attached inside it with velcro to make it an actual water proof pocked.i just put my phone in the clear vinyl pouch and put it in the pocket though. then eventually came across another pvc coated nylon water proof bag and used goop glue to attach it in behind the zipper and kept the clear vinyl one for other uses.all in all, a very good product at a good price. no regrets on buying it.

These are the first pair of stocking foot waders I have bought. I wear a size 13 shoe and I go about 6'1 and 270 pounds. After reading some reviews, I decided to go with the XXL Stout. If I didn't fish in the frigid cold and did not need layers, then these would be entirely too big for me. As it stands, they are probably a little big anyway. But, I have NO problem putting on several layers of warm socks and fitting into the neoprene boot. They are a bit big in the chest, as well, but nothing that would make me think of returning them. The slight oversize in ordering on my part actually makes these beyone comfortable to wear.The quality seems to be pretty decent. I have only used them twice, for about 7 hours each day. I like them. Waterproof zipper in the front hold my cell and car key and there is even a built-in hand warmer behind said compartment. The suspenders work as they should. No padding, nothing fancy, but I don't really even know they are there. Also comes with the quick release wading belt with the hinge rather than the clip together kind.I paired these with some Korkers Redside wading boots and for $250 shipped for both, I would say I feel like they are definately worth the money. These are replacing a pair of Orvis Tailwater bootfoots that leaked the first time I used them. Those cost me $350.

I trout fish on an average of 3 to 4 times a week, even through cold Ohio winters. After replacing my old neoprene waders with this product, it is like I’m fishing in my pajamas. These waders are so light and comfortable, I’m able to spend more comfortable time in the river fishing. So far, I’ve used them in water temperatures between 40°F to 48°F and with a pair of long johns on underneath, I was not cold at all. These are stocking foot waders. My old waders were boot foot. Stocking foot, with a good pair of felt soled wading boots gives me much better secure footing when wading over hidden tree branches and stones. Definitely worth the money.

Ordered my second pair of caddis waders . My first pair have lasted 15 years and are still going strong . Having a pair of neoprene's ive ordered a set of breathables. Now I'm 6"3" and 24 stone and i ordered the xxls and there is plenty of room . Material is very thick and of the highest quality . Definitely the heaviest breathables I've ever lifted. Here's hoping for another 15 years

The LSS (Large Short Stout) size available in this brand and model of wader made for a perfect fit.It's rare indeed to find this range of sizing choices in reasonably priced waders. And delivered to Australia in under a week. Amazing service. Thank you Caddis.
