If you are considering these waders look elsewhere. I'll start by saying what's good about the them. The wading belt, and the fact that they are lightweight. It ends there. The suspenders are uncomfortable and cheap. I borrowed them to a friend and it took him minutes to break latch on them. They did repair them, but I could have done a b... Read Moreetter job myself. They are definitely NOT durable. If you are going to use the waders without touching anything but water they might survive. If you need to bust brush or wade in water with obstructions, keep the repair kit handy. On my last trip my left bootie filled up, and low and behold when I turned them inside out to dry them out, and check for holes, they had already been patched (I purchased them as new). That brings us to the so called gravel guards. You may as well cut them off and purchase some aftermarket guards (I recommend Mt Sun Gear) and use those. I'm going to repair these and use them, because I wouldn't give them to my worst enemy. Once I permanently ditch these waders I will salvage the wading belt, since it's the only thing worth saving. Thanks for listening.

Bootie design needs work
We returned due to the design of the booties. The plastic booties seemed like a step down in quality we are used to with Patagonia neoprene, plus the seam down the middle of the dorsal and plantar foot was uncomfortable and just felt awkward. Neoprene booties should be the standard.
Big fan of these - I have a pair of the expedition waders that see mostly cold weather use - but for shoulder seasons I tend to wear these when the mornings are super cold and then it heats up over the course of the day. Great to travel with... I find them comfortable and appreciate the no-frills design.
I am 6 ft 2 ~240 and these waders for perfectly. They are flexible/lightweight enough to climb down steep stream beds or over and fallen trees/obstacles. Best pair of waders Ive ever worn with phenomenal customer service.
I hiked over 3 miles in these and they wore well. They are comfortable to wear and I like how easy they convert to the waist or bib mode. They pack very small and are very light but do appear to be durable. Perhaps the most interesting component is the bootie. They are unique and is what allows them to pack so small and weigh less. You may want to ... Read Moreconfirm your boot fit since they don't take up as much space as the more traditional bootie. I would give a slight con to the seam that runs right down the middle of the foot. If you have thinner socks on, you can definitely feel it. With a slightly thicker wool sock, it is less noticeable. I would say that once you have them on for a while you kind of forget about it. I also found the booties don't offer much insulation so take that into account. Overall I am satisfied with these waders.
I travel a lot and fish a wide range of conditions. These are a practical hard wearing solution to my needs. They pack up small but take a beating with ease in the thickets and on the river. Easiest conversion to waist high waders on the market, makes them super versatile. Couldn't be happier.
Ive been wearing Patagonia stuff for years . I love their products for their durability and longevity. Ive been fly fishing for several years and decided to give their waders a try . I love you Patagonia but these waders are trash . Within 4 trips the buckle that holds them up broke . I was like , Im loyal , Ill just use them as pants waders becaus...
