Wader Poll - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

chris138 · 11-12-2014, 08:59 AM

Hey guys,

I'm in the market for a new pair of waders. I have always bought hodgeman, but my last pair sucked pretty bad (pipestones). I know they should only last a season if you fish frequently, and they've got some good use. But now it seems that water just seeps through them like they've lost their waterproof-ness. And not just the booties. In my eyes it seems that the shell material wasn't actually waterproof intrensically, but just treated with some hydrophobic agent.

So... I would love to get some recommendations on a different set, and why. My price range is up to about $250 or so. I'm looking at frogg toggs but I can't find any good reviews. Right now I'm leaning toward pilot II's.

Winter is coming!
