What waders are you guys running?

I get the Cabela's Breathable Combo, Waders + felt Boots was like $ 179.

I've got big calves and Tidewe is made for skinny calves - boots wouldn't go on. The polycoated fabric seemed nice tho.

The boots run big too, I had to trade em for a size down cuz I kept losing the boot in the marsh when I’d step in a mud hole lol

Exactly. I’m ten times slower then all my buddies and it’s miserable

I may spring for the Sitka next season and keep these as my backup pair, they have taken a beating with no leaks so although they are awkward I can’t complain too much for 100 bucks

Nobody is running in waders.

Not in neoprene that’s for damn sure

Anyone tried the new Kuiu pro waders?

I have used Sitka waders the past 2 seasons. Had a small leak and they fixed it, no charge. I know it's a hard sell at a grand, but I'm happy with them. High n Dry or Dive Bomb would be my next choice.

Four years with Sitka and still going strong.

Cabelas bone dry. Cheap enough and tough.

I have had unlined gore waders for years for fishing. Had a buddy at patagonia that sent me a couple pairs so I ised those for years. Current ones are orvis I think. They are good, Ive had them for 3 or 4 yrars and they are good. BUT now that the fashionable color for fishing waders is off-white/light grey, and I decided to try duck hunting, I bought a pair of hunting waders. Reading the horror stories of leaky $1000 waders I decided the best value to get started would be a $129 pair of neoprene rogers waders. Just finished my second season in them with no leaks. They do get stiff if its chilly out, though. I will probably buy another pair of these before I spend the price of a new shotgun on a pair.

I’ve always used Cabelas neoprene waders. They leak after 3-5 seasons but work fine for me. I may try breathable next but don’t really need to as I hunt over flooded rice so the walk out the check and back is about all the walking I do.
