So far-so good. But would prefer hip boots that I do not have to hold up by clipping to my belt. I had ones previousely that I did not have to do such. Plus the clip buttons are not easy to click in. Otherwise ok.

Stream fishing is just ok

I tried using these for stream fishing and they are very slippery on rocks. Also, if the water is too deep, the waders fill up quickly and have to be taken off and emptied or else you can't keep going. Other than that, they are pretty good.

Bad Quality and Bad Return Policy

Updated Review:These waders have turned out to be pretty troublesome. Perhaps mine are faulty or maybe they all are, but after a few uses I have started having consistent leaks int he same spots on each leg of the waders. In the front and the back around the seam, in the exact same spots on both legs, water has started to come in through the holes. I have applied Aquaseal multiple times but they just keep leaking through the same spots. Luckily I have more Aquaseal so I will be able to patch them again.I contacted Hodgman about the faulty waders because it is very apparent to me that this was a quality problem on their end. I was given an absurd amount of instructions as to what to do to prove that I bought these waders and that they were damaged. I was also notified that my waders were less than a month outside of the one year warranty so they could not replace them or give me a refund. Quite honestly I wouldn't want another pair of these anyway. They did offer to give me 45% off the purchase of new waders. I took this an insult because why would I want another pair of waders from a company that:1) does not make a quality product.2) who does not value their customers.Hodgman should have offered me a replacement pair at no cost to me, and upon my refusal of a new pair, they should have issued me a full refund.I also have a theory as to why these waders leaked so badly at the seam. One of the conditions on the return policy for my leaking waders was to cut off the boots from the waders as they would instruct, and mail them back to Hodgman, I assume so they can reuse the boots and do another terrible job at reattaching them.In short, don't buy this product. If you don't care about having wet feet in your waders then I suggest save some money and put on some short and wet wade. I will never buy another product from Hodgman again though.

Maneuverability

Waders that I have owned in the past were so stiff it was like they were made out of automobile tire rubber. I would get worn out maneuvering around the stream. These lightweight boots are exactly what I was hoping and expecting to receive.
