OXYVAN Waders Waterproof Lightweight Fishing Waders with Boots Bootfoot Hunting Chest Waders for Men Women

They seemed nice, but leaked in the crotch the first time I wore them. I felt the leak the moment I got to crotch depth, so it was clearly a poorly sealed seam. It wasn't a bad leak, so I think I can seal them up.**Update **The seller contacted me and sent me a new pair since these leaked. Given it is winter and I can't test them until late April or May next year when the lakes up here in the Great white North open up. But you can't beat that customer service. I'll update again after testing these, and will update the star rating up out down based on what happens.**Edit #2 **Pair #2 was completely waterproof, so things up.

I wore these one time to take out a dock and boat lift on a lake. This required me to bend over quite a bit to wrench the wheels up. As I was bending the suspenders ripped where it attached to the wader. After looking at the stitching, it does not appear they are reinforced strongly. There also was not a lot of "give" on the suspenders when bending over. These should be ok for limited activities or just standing straight up and down in the water. I would not recommend these for working or other rigorous activity that you are doing in the water.

This is the best investment I made for a spring fly fishing trip. While some name brand waders cost a few hundreds, and you have to add another $100 for the boots, these waders are perfect alternative if you don't want to spend a fortune.Pros:1. $2. keep me dry for at least 4 hours3. belt is handy - I can tie a net on it4. shoulder straps are comfortable5. boots have good grips (on the rocky boulder river bed)6. material dries fastCons:1. boots still run 1 size too small (strongly recommend getting 1 size larger, my toes are pushing to the tip and it's very uncomfortable)2. boots bottom too thin (I had to add some insole so I can stand longer)3. after wearing 8 hours, my clothes start to become damp, not wet though. Not sure if this is supposed to happen4. can't really bend the knees. maybe I should get the bigger ones5. the chest tie gets loose easily - need to make a knot if you don't want it to get loose6. pocket too small, almost useless

Kept my husband dry. And surprisingly warm in ice cold water. He wasn’t out too long. But these were the perfect solution, and came quickly.

This is a pair of chest waders rubber textures soles. The material is 70D nylon and PVC mix; the outside surface appears to be a woven fabric while the inside surface is solid. The boots are rubber with textured cleats that are ¼” to 3/8” high. The inner seams of the garment are heat-sealed. There is a drawstring around the top around the chest. Just below the top hem in the front is an inner pocket with a Velcro patch closure. In the back there is an overall-style flap with elastic strap ends sewn to regular nylon straps. These straps are adjustable and attach to the snap clips in the front of the garment. There are also belt loops around the outside of the waist and an adjustable belt (separate piece) with a clip closure. Size 10 of these waders weigh 5.2 lbs. The Oxyyvan logo appears in the front top left portion of the waders. The garment was made in China.I find that these waders work OK for me, despite their extra large size. As a scientist working in ecology, I often need to do surveys in or across streams, so waders are essential equipment for me. However, as a 5’2” woman wearing shoe size women’s 7, nobody makes waders in my size and I just have to live with equipment that is ridiculously large. No exception to that problem here, but still, these waders do the job for me. These waders in shoe size Men’s 10 stand about 50” tall, and the boots are 3” too long for my feet (my feet are 9” long). If I’m wearing winter clothes, these waders are comfortably snug around the knees and ankles, and I don’t think I’d want them any smaller there. They rise up to just under my chin, but at least they don’t go past it like some waders I’ve had to wear. I like the fully adjustable shoulder straps and drawstring closure at the top, which allow me to get a reasonably snug fit so that the straps don’t keep falling off. I have plenty of room for wool layers underneath the waders, which keep me warm in some really cold streams, even though the waders are rather light weight and don’t provide warming insulation on their own. I am impressed with the quality of the materials and seams—these waders look like they will last many seasons without rotting. Overall, these waders appear well made, are water tight, but may be a bit snug if you purchase them considering shoe size only.

Bought these on sale as I've been looking for a pair of waders to upgrade the rubber waders I was gifted with years ago' These were nice right out of the box,fit is ok, I wear a 32 inch inseam for regular pants and these are advertised 35 inch,they fit nice but just a big snug they do stretch and I was able to walk around the house with these on and sit in them comfortably on a desk chair do seem to loosen up as you use them belt is flimsy as I surf fish and prefer a dive belt would like to see the suspenders on these as removable so you could upgrade them I ordered a size 12 shoe size it fits great with 2 pair of socks and then some room I wear a 10 1/2 shoe in 6'1''tall have a 48'' chest I got into these ok but I wouldn't want to try and put too many clothes on under these.Cant wait to get in the water with them they should be good for the money!!!

These waders are great for the price. I bought a size 10 in brown and it fits well. I had to buy plastic overalls strap adjusters so I could keep the straps adjusted and from coming undone/loosening. I also bought a new belt as the one that comes with it is kind of dumb.

UPDATE - my experience only got worse since posting this review. The seller contacted me and wanted to make things right. All they did was make me promises and waste my time. Beware of the seller.The first time in the water, these waders leaked around the crotch area. That definitely defeats the purpose of wearing waders, when they are supposed to simply keep you dry. Had to return them immediately, disappointed in response from seller.
