Reviews Summary
Customers say these waders fit true to size and offer excellent warmth and comfort. The front zipper design makes them easy to put on and take off, and many appreciate the sizing options that accommodate different body types better than typical waders. Users report the construction feels durable and built to last through multiple seasons. The transition from neoprene waders is frequently noted as a significant improvement. Some mention the zipper pockets allow minor water seepage during deep wading, though most find the overall quality and performance outstanding.

    Awesome Waders

    My daughter and I had a late season goldeneye duck hunt to try out my new waders. The guardian elite waders performed flawlessly. Kept me dry and warm. The zipper makes them easy to get in and out of. I ordered a size xl and probably should have got a large as they are a bit big in the chest. I’m a size 10.5 in normal shoe size, so I went with size 10 in boot size. Fit perfectly

    I told my daughter I need to get her a pair for next season.

    Just buy them already.

    Great set of waders. Love the zipper! Warm and breathable. Fit of boot is nice and has good traction. Fairly easy to get on and off. Look forward to any chance I can get away to wear these! Run a little large but I like that as it gives a lot of layering options for weather diversity.

    For the money.

    For a budget friendly wader that looks great and fits good these are it. Never had a zipper front pair of waders but it made on and off easy. ***Recommend a boot puller***.
