VG waders but Must bare in mind cost of waders
There are ONLY two kinds of waders in this world#1 those that leak#2 Those that are going to leak.I have been through absolutely all of it buying fishing and hunting waders. Bought waders that cost $60-$290 bought Gore-Tex waders bought nylon waders bought neoprene waders.Only had ONE pair of waders last me more than three seasons without leaking. A pair of Red Ball waders made from 1000d cordura and extra ultra heavy duty PVC under the 1000D cordura bonded to the 1000D cordura like it was welded steel. Lasted 10 YEARS before they leaked at all. Then like an idiot tried to cross over a barbed wire fence with them on and that was the end of them.I duck hunt but fish A LOT more with waders talking using my waders for fishing 9-10 months out of the year so I have A LOT of experience with waders.Heck 9/10 nylon non neoprene waders even ones costing $150 to $300 at best were getting no better reviews than these <$60 waders.I am DONE buying waders over $100 because the all of the over $100 dollar waders I bought including ones I paid with tax almost $300 for that were advertised as "tough as nails" waders leaked after 3.5 seasons of careful as possible use. And I take excellent care of my waders.Now my wader purchasing philosophy is odds are overwhelming four pair of $60 waders costing $240 will last me twice as long as one pair of $280 waders. So far my filosophy has proven correct.I just bought these waders for actually my son to use not me, for fishing local lakes in spring till fall. I gave them a shake down use yesterday for 6 straight hours of fishing, and was very happy with them.Again bare in mind these waders with the 15% off coupon cosy under $60 TMD.Now for my review of them.First I would rate these as strictly warmer water water waders as they are of thin material and not insulated so they are excellent for warmer weather fishing as I was last night.AS they are made of thin material I would at ALL COSTS avoid coming into contact with ANYTHING with a sharp point like thorn bushes. Last night all I encountered was soft green weeds and cattails and the waders held up great.Overall I would rate the quality of manufacture very good for waders costing under $60. Their quality of manufacture is on par with waders I have costing $80 but not as well made with thicker materials as waders I own costing $100-$135 I own.waterproof sealed seams and stitched seams were very well done and well sealed especially the seams where the fabric meets the PVC boots. Fit was very good material moves with you and overall save for the boots waders are very comfortable.Shoulder straps are well made and work and adjust well, same for waist belt. Pouches are absolutely minimal but adequate and function well.While waders themselves run accurate for size I bought a XXL-14 because these would be strictly warm weather warm water waders I nore my sons have no plans on wearing anything more than jeans and a short sleeved t-shirt and then a long sleeved sun shirt over that, they fit me very well. If I could order them again I would get the XXXL but boot size 13 VS boot size 14 so I could wear a sweater or lite jacket if need be even a sweater would likely makes these waders feel a bit tight on me, but I am about 50lbs OW.It was 82* yesterday and I didn't overheat or get hot in these waders so they do not make you overly hot or sweat. I normally take a 14 XW boot nand these size 14 boots were mildly to big on me not so large to be a problem or require I return them but size 13 would have been a better fitting choice. So keep that in mind when ordering them. Of all the boots bI have EVER bought on line NEVER once did I have to return a size 14XW shoe or boot because it was to large.Only one use for six continues hours, but they kept me 100% dry as in ZERO moisture or wetness occured.Now for the only negatives and why I gave these waders 4 stars for comfort and not five.The boots are both to big and the PVC to flexible and I wouldn't want to walk a great distance in these and did pack a pair of gym shoes in my fishing tackle backpack so I only wore the waders while fishing which will be SOP as most of the fishing spots my sons and I go to are far far walks.The PVC boots flex so much the water will compress them on your feet, but on your toes is where the problem is. There will be enough force on your toes after about five continuous hours submerged in waist deep water to become notably uncomfortable. No it's not severe or unbearable but definitely noticeable. and becomes somewhat annoying. THis issue is not a dealbreaker for me and I would order another pair of these waders, just one size smaller.But other than the boots running about a size to large and will compress on your toes as I described, I can find no real fault with these <$60 waders and can recommend them to those looking for a pair of <$75 waders for warmer water fishing from spring till fall.Now lets see how many outings my son gest before we break out the patching kit.If you need a pair of warmer weather and water waders and you won't encounter nasty thorny things and your budget is under $70 I strongly recommend you consider these waders.

Excellent Waders
I have not hunted ducks in over 30 years but I recently got the bug. I didn't know what to expect when I started gearing up to get back out there. I was very surprised to see the low price on these Foxelli waders after all these years. And the excellent reviews gave me confidence that they would perform well.I have got to say that these waders outperform even my highest expectations! They are very lightweight which is important when you're lugging a lot of gear. They are also very well insulated, which was surprising considering how lightweight they are. I hunted in 36° weather standing in thigh-deep water most of the time, and my feet were the warmest part of my body (of course the water is not frigid cold yet). I also like how they fit.I am 6'1" and 205 lbs. with normal shoe size of 10-1/2. I got size 11 waders and they fit perfectly. They are VERY comfortable. The bonus waterproof phone case was a nice touch, and it saved my phone a couple of times when I got in water that was a little too deep! I can't say enough about these great waders. Well done, Foxelli.

Great price and quality seems good
I had bought these to go out wading to a spot I can't get my boat back to, plans ended up changing so I returned them before I got a chance to use them. I returned them primarily for two reasons, the first is I ordered way too large. Although width wise, the sizing is appropriate, the boot and length are much larger than expected. I am 6', 190lbs, size 11 to 11.5 boot normally and size 12 shoe. I ordered a size 12 assuming I would want sole inserts and to wear heavy socks or something around my feet as I read the reviews that a common problem was the pressure collapsing the flimsy boots and cutting off circulation. The waders seemed very well built for the price and came with a waterproof phone pouch, hanger, and bag. I would recommend ordering them to true boot size or even smaller unless your a bigger guy then just be prepared for the boots to be too big and excess material. The second reason I returned them was since I was no longer on a time crunch, I wanted to look for something with a better boot. The manufacturer seems to be a good company and reached out to get feedback and quickly approved my refund. I don't think for this price you could find a better option. I can't speak to the longevity as I never got to actually use them but they seem just as well built as the lower priced waders in the box stores. The seller also impressed me enough that I am looking at purchasing the neoprene version as long as the boots are more rigid.

Great buy
This product fit to size. At first I was worried what if it fits the feet but not the body but it has room and is adjustable. Waterproof and does the job.

Decent Waders
I was a bit surprised at how well these waders turned out for the price. After 2 duck seasons they held up pretty well. No leaks or damage. They stayed waterproof and kept me dry. There is a big vest pocket for your your phone or extra shell.The soles are not padded, so through in some inserts if you want a more comfortable walk. The only other downside is the waders smell quite strong at first. You will need to leave them outside for quite some time before they smell normal.Overall, this was a good purchase at a great price.
