ITASCA 1000gr, $239 what I use in late season....then again if your feet sweat they'll get cold when sitting still

Well finally got my waders in. I wont go into another cuss fit about fed ex. Anyway. Tried them on with my blue jeans and they fit snug so I know they should fit perfect with my fleece bib I normally wear with my waders. They actually seem light for 5mil. Boots are pretty big but very comfy. The boots are new style and go on with ease unlike reports of the older models. More of a hunting boot versus the old standard wader boots. Only thing Im unhappy with is they are not fleece lined. I thought they were.. I guess i just assumed that. All other brands that are 5 mil are fleece lined, not to mention for 260 bucks they should be. The straps are kind of bulky too. We will see later this week if they are sealed lol!

Broke the waders in good today.Ran up to Oklahoma with a buddy and hunted a beautiful oxbow today. Was tough to wade in and with the new bulky [censored] boots, I had a fall of course. One of those where it seems like it takes 30 seconds to fall all the way down and you dont know when your hand is gonna hit bottom to push yourself back up!! LOL anyway on a good note my feet were warm and toasty all morning so That was nice. And we ended up with 6 mallards. Had some nice size groups work and a missed opportunity of a group of about 20 or so. We got greedy and wanted them down low in the hole since it was later in the hunt and knew it would probably be our last chance. So we passed on two swings when they were definitely in range. But I sure was beautiful watch that big group work through those big cypress trees and sunshine on those green heads!! Needed some wind today for sure!

I have the Mack prairie big ditch and like them a lot. Just wish they were longer. But they have held up good.

I got the regular and Im about 6'2" 200lbs and they are plenty long but I think this year they made some changes. Not sure if you older ones. Ive lost 30 lbs since last duck season so i bet these would have been snug last year!
