Anyone have these and use them regularly. Was looking at picking up a pair to have in my pack to use when I hike up and fish some alpine lakes and for small river/stream crossings on my bear hunts this spring. just interested in some first hand experience.
 
I've never used them or even seen them, but they are heavy compared to the wiggy's ones. If I were going to be packing these for a "what if" situation I would pick the wiggy's for weight.
 
I have a pair and they are built t-o-u-g-h. Cordura tops and a very solid sole. I don't think they will ever leak under and normal use. My only problem is that I don't have any more use for them, and I should sell them.
 
I have the Neos River Trekker Overboots. They perform as advertised in use for stream crossings. The sole is very rigid which can be good / bad as it doesn't grip very well to rocks that have any slime on them. When crossing streams with significant current I found it best to use trekking poles for stability and somewhat slide or drag my feet forward because traction isn't that great. They work fine for use as a regular wader. The Cordura upper is well made but noisy.
