TIDEWE Bootfoot Chest Wader, 2-Ply Nylon/PVC Waterproof Fishing Searching Waders with Boot Hanger for Males Girls Inexperienced Brown

Fitment
I ordered a size 13 as I normally where a 11-12 wide shoe and wanted not to feel cramped and they work perfectly, and the fit great. I ordered them as our property was flooded from Hurricane Milton and many trees are down, since I don’t want to ruin the property or our equipment driving in the water, I wear these to cut trees off of fence lines until the water goes down to wear we can use equipment again. The kept me nice and dry today in waste deep water at times and the pockets are very secure. Great product!

Some leakage, but not bad
I put these things through a pretty tough test surveying creeks and rivers in southern Tennessee. I’d wear them for up to 10 hours straight, hiking through overgrown woods and fields full of thorns, brambles, and other unfriendly brush. We were regularly standing for long periods in water up to our waists.Pros: these are lighter weight than other waders I have seen, they’re more like a rubber coated canvas than full molded rubber. That means they flex easier, are lighter, and aren’t quite as hot. This was great in the south in July. The shoulder straps help them stay up and in place very well. The phone case is handy and durable. I’ve seen other reviews complain about the case breaking, and maybe that was an older design because mine was very durable. I imagine the force necessary to break the case off it’s lanyard would be hard to miss as it pulls at your neck. Overall the fit was exactly as expected. I wear a size 13 and ordered purely off shoe size. The final fit was perfect for me, 6’4″, 230lb, shoe size 13. The boots were a little big but that’s needed to get your foot in something that doesn’t lace up.The con: These do tend to leak a bit. I can’t put my finger on exactly when or why it happens, but it seems like it’s more like water seeping in slowly than what I would consider an actual leak.Overall these work well for the price. They will keep you dry-ish while being more comfortable and functional than others I have seen. I do recommend this product for light duty use, but maybe not if you’re going to plant yourself in a river and fish all day. Get something higher end for that.

Five stars after second use
The price was right, the delivery was fast. But after using these one time, I discovered my clothing underneath was soaked, including pants & socks. ***updated*** after a second use, I’ve discovered they are waterproof, and the moisture inside was my own sweat! So I have moved my rating up to 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Also worth noting, the company reached out to me and offered support via email when I originally rated ⭐️⭐️⭐️. I will definitely use this company again in the future.

Size warnings but look good!
I just opened the box and tried them on! This is my first impression Im a Salmon fishermen born and raised in Alaska and now fish along the Oregon coast and have 60 plus years of fishing experience and I fish where chest waders are a must because of the Ocean surf. I’m tired of paying for expensive waders only to get one season out of them. There’s nothing worse than leaky waders only to have to put them on the next day cold and wet. Its not fun being wet and uncomfortable. So I purchased these budget waders in hope’s of just getting one season out of them. Lets get to it! The packaging was nice and done well after opening the box and plastic bag I could smell the out gasing of the PVC material so you might want to hang them in your garage and not in your clothes closet or you might be in the dog house. The materials however look pretty good the shoulder straps are wide and fully adjustable nice buckles along with the waist belt. There is a small front pocket maybe to hold your fishing License or cell phone. Im 6′-2″ tall and weigh 250 pounds dressed and have size a 13 D foot so I followed the size recommendation and ordered one size larger a 14 however the boots are snug and aren’t wide I dont have much room for two socks so think about that if you’re standing in really cold water could be a issue. The boots themselves are very Flimsy and aren’t made for rough terrain but for sand bars and small sized gravel they will be fine. The boot tread are good and should work. So the overall fit of the waders are really smaller than described the inseam length is alot shorter and the bend at the knees are tighter than I like so sitting down is snug in the legs but it’s just ok. The total height of the waders are ok and I would say they are designed for a Slender skinny guys without a beer belly or if your planning to wear alot of heavy clothes underneath these they might not be for you. Also something to consider is these waders don’t breathe so if your planning to use them in a warm climate you may sweat alot however the waders should work fine in cooler waters and rainy days also they do weigh about six pounds. These waders aren’t for bush wacking but for open areas. So tomorrow I will give these babies the water test and see how they do and will post my findings feel free to ask me questions I would be happy to help. I hope my Experiment worksInexpensive waiters every year. For the price point and what Im seeing so far these might be a hook up.. 2nd entry (The Water Test) well after spending the last five days in the ocean surf fishing the waders have Moisture inside both legs and boots my socks are damp and my pants also are damp. Its really hard to tell if its water weeping into the waders thru the fabric or sweat do to full sun exposure and exercise. but here we are again with damp waders hmmmm its not what I had in mind but Im not Soaking wet either and the waders seem to dry overnight which is good thing, I pulled the upper legs down to the boot tops for maximum ventilation. Im reducing the rating to 3 stars and will try to get another 30 days out of them hopefully. I will date when I have more input. Good luck!

I got these for putting/taking out a dock, plus for cutting large beds of poison ivy with a mower and trimmer so that I don’t get the oil spray from the shredded leaves all over me (trust me, you don’t want that oil to touch your skin). They work GREAT for both applications. In the water, there were no leaks whatsoever and the boots give good grip on the river floor. When I was on shore cutting poison ivy, the boots were fantastic – the thick lugs on the soles of the boots are very grippy on the grass and rocks, and I didn’t get any punctures from branches when I was trimming in heavy brush. Same for the leg/chest material – no punctures at all despite working for hours in the brush, and the poison ivy oils and leaf bits just rinsed off with a quick walk in the river. They are super-strong and resilient, the only downside is that these waders are very heavy to walk in and they don’t breath, so they’re hot. But the quality is excellent, the suspenders and belt make them adjustable for people of different heights, and they even come with a handy little waterproof cellphone case so you can take your phone with you in the small chest pocket. If you’re looking for long-wear all-day comfort, these may not be for you. But they’re great waders if you don’t mind the heavy material, and they should last for years – I highly recommend them if you’re looking for heavy-duty durability for short jobs or fishing outings.

Used to get a load of rubbish out of the dam, clothes underneath got a tiny bit wet, might have been sweat which is why it still gets 5 stars. Got the job done without getting covered in leaches and nipped by toe biters.
