    Best waders I’ve ever owned

    Awesome waders.

    Bought a pair for me and then immediately bought a pair for my son. Super warm and they fit great.

    Great Waders!

    I have hunted four times in these waders since I received them two weeks ago. They are very comfortable in the boot and through the body, even when walking long distances. The insulation is very nice and I have been warm while my feet and legs submerged while the temperature has been in the 30's.

    These are fantastic!

    Let me start off by saying, I do not hunt, game that is. I do metal detecting in mountain lakes. I spend two to three hours at a time in 40° water. With the right under layers I don't even notice it with these waders. The ease at which I can take these waders on and off is outstanding. I would never touch neoprene again. The Drake Guardian Elites are worth their weight in gold. I am 6', and 250lbs. The fit with underlayers is spot on. Now if they could only help me find the mother lode, they would be perfect. ;o)
