Reviewed by: Anonymous User ,  30 days a year , from Toronto

Price Paid:  $300.00 at LL Bean - Freeport

Body of Water:
Great Lakes Tribs.

Summary:
I cover a lot of water when I fish. Too many times, I came back to the car with damp socks and pants. These breathable waders have significantly improved my fishing experience.

Strengths:
Light-weight … wears like a nice pair of pants.
Slick/snag-proof shell … my flies have a tendency of catching on my neoprenes.
Ultra-breathable … my socks and pant legs remain dry after a 30-minute walk back to the car.
Built-in gravel guards … a great feature often overlooked by other manufacturers.
Fit … slightly long inseam allows you to sit and squat without fear of busting a seam.

Weaknesses:
Nothing to report.

Similar Products Used:
Neoprene hip and chest-waders.

Reviewed by: Charlie ,  50+ days a year , from Monkton, MD

Body of Water:
stream

Summary:
I'm completly happy with these waders and highly recommend them

Strengths:
Very light weight and confortable. Waist high is great for those not so deep streams, and hot summer days. Very easy to hike in. Take up very little space, so good for travel. Amazingly resistant to punctures.

Weaknesses:
Goretex foot, rather then neoprene. Had some problems with leaks around the foot area. LL Bean replaced them free of charge--noticed the foot material on the replacments/new model is much thicker. Since they are only waist high, they are not quite as versatile as chest high waders. It all depends on the waters you fish.

Customer Service:
LL Bean's customer service and return policy is the best I've ever experienced
