FROGG TOGGS Men's Grand Refuge 2.0 Stout Size Breathable & Insulated Chest Wader

I was skeptical about ordering these for my waterfowl season but these have proven to be the best waiters I have ever purchased! Very happy!

Bought for my husband and he loved them. Fit perfectly

Really like these, I had them not even a month and ripped them on my boat. But patched super easy. Really like these so far.

I just got these waders and I have to say they are the most comfortable waders I have worn yet! The waders themselves run a tad big but that didn’t bother me because I like to layer up in the winter months and the boots are about half a size big which again I enjoy because I like to wear thick wool socks. They are thin, yet warm. Lightweight, yet tough and have a ton of pocket storage. Whenever these crap out on me I will not hesitate to buy another set!

The boots themselves, except for the sole traction I will talk about next, are just fine. BUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE FULLY INFORMED OF THE MAJOR RISK OF WEARING THESE BOOTS WITHOUT EXTENSIVELY SCRUBBING THE RELEASE AGENT OFF THE BOTTOMS! I grabbed my new waders out of the box and went in the lake at the house to move some winter logs of the beach. As i was returning to my garage with wet feet I slipped on a heavily broomed concrete ramp that transitions from one patio to the next at our home. I have navigated this transition thousands of time over the years in all kinds of footwear. When I stepped onto it this time, it was like stepping onto a sheet of black ice. Zero traction, and I went down hard. I tore my patella tendon off the knee cap and after having surgery, I am facing 6 months of serious rehab to get back to full functioning. In trying to figure out what happened, I watched my fall on our security cameras. I looked like a cartoon character rapidly pedaling my feet on ice. I called my brother to warn him as he had purchased the same pair at the same time. He experimented with his and confirmed that out of the box, when wet, they are like ice. He scrubbed the soles of his boots for an hour over the garage laundry tub with every cleaner he could find. Says he managed to reduce the slipperiness by about 75%. I am guessing the release agent chemical they use to be able to pop the boot foot out of the mold is still on the sole when they arrive at your place. BUYER BEWARE! If you do buy a pair, maybe plan to take them on a 5 mile hike on the dry and flat asphalt road to wear the release agent off.

He is a big young man and was thrilled they fit him so well. Two of my grandsons (brothers) are avid duck hunters!

These waders work great. For a short, stout guy like me they fit perfectly. I took out the removable, insulated lining because it's summertime on the trout rivers I've been fishing and they aren't needed. When the ducks start flying later this fall, I'm sure they'll keep out the cold. Great waders.

Five stars so far, saying that cautiously, only wore them 5 or 6 days so far!If they last and don't dry rot this summer, Ill never wear another pair of neoprenes.Coming from a guide that uses hunting equipment often. Next season will tell the tale. I have them dried out and hanging on boot hangers in my shop, where it stays cool all summer. We'll see!
