I bought some at Sports Chalet a few months ago, they now offer extended warranty on waders for $10, anything happens to them you take them back and get a new comparable pair.

ahhh Hodgeman .....

Lodgeman are cast iron pans....

But there great pans to roast fish in.

Don't forget the zipper....

How's the fit on the guidelite? Should you get a size up?

dorado50 · 07-28-2011, 11:47 PM

A size up or a size down, all that matters is how they will look on you in the water. The ass area should be snug. Good luck on your decision!

Go with the zipper on it makes it a million times easier taking a piss while on your your yak.

I have 2 pairs of the older guidelights without the zipper, and they are great and all... however I do have zipper envy!!!
