Wader recommendations

Just buy a Redhead pair at Basspro for a couple hundred and replace as needed. Or splurge on a premium brand that will last longer.

game winner neoprene at academy
100 bucks or so
will last you a couple of seasons minimum

Anyone seeing any waist waders coming available?

Roger’s tough man’s or any of the cheaper breathables. None last more than a few seasons, so go for comfort and value.

I’d go try on a bunch on and go with whatever you are comfortable wearing.

Seriously. If you bought them at Academy, just keep the receipt and box and go return them. I get a new pair every September when they start restocking hunting stuff. Eventually the new ones start leaking by the end of the season but most times they are out of stock after the Christmas rush so I will get an in store credit. If I forget like I said keep the box and the receipt till the next season. Most timed all I need is the box and you really have to do the return inside a calendar year and this cycle is just for 1 purchase and 1 return.

Wait until divebomb comes out with their’s.

Cabelas or Rogers for neoprene. I like the Frog Togg breathables.

Well you can't do that. You have to buy at the beginning of the season when they are full price. Then if they start leaking, go return them or if you just want a new pair, return at the end of the season. The goal is to get the exact same thing but generally Christmas wipes out the wader selection at Academy and they are already moving the hunting stuff off the shelves anyway by January. So it is iffy at best getting replacements but they have always given me an instore credit. Then I just wait till the next September when they start restocking hunting stuff to use it. That is if I haven't used it on fishing gear.
