8 Fans Fishing Waders for Men and Women, Chest Waders- Waterproof Bootfoot, Neoprene Waders for Hunting & Fishing

Best waders we have ever purchased, durable and high quality material for a low cost!! Best 1 year warranty you can get and great customer service!! The waterproof coat is a lifesaver and has tons of storage, the back pocket is like a backpack!! Wading boots with the waders fit perfect, they drain quickly so comfortable you can hike for miles in them!! Let’s all stay outside!!!!

I have taken them out about 5 times so far. The light weight means no heat retention, so the cold water will catch up to you quick. They seem sturdy, are easy to get on and off and feel great.

I'll start with this is the first time I felt a strong urge to review any product. I conduct wildlife surveys which require me to walk against a current in North Eastern US streams in spring and fall.... this isn't always an easy feat even when we wear good quality gear, a ton of reading reviews went into me choosing this product and I do not regret it. I have now been out in streams almost a dozen times over the past 2 months. That being said, pros and cons:- Fit is comfortable especially with the sock that fits well with my mens 8 (7.5 womens typically) boot made by the same company. The only downside for me has been that my legs are slightly longer when I bend my knees (but I could adjust the shoulder straps and wear the crotch baggier technically), but the clip that attaches to the boot works its way loose maybe 2x per trip, slightly annoying but does not hinder me.- Durable, as I haven't gotten a hole yet and I'm occasionally climbing downed logs with sharp sticks and snagging through briars.-I like the color and they look good on (actually better than teal like some expensive women's waders).-I love the belt, very comfortable feature.-Inside front pocket would be ok to use and is a nice feature but its not waterproof (would only matter if water tops over into the waders), it does fit my phone but I still choose to carry my phone in a separate dry bag anyways. I would not trust the 2 outer pockets with anything that you do not want to get wet, I've tested these with things that could get wet.I'll just reiterate, they aren't perfect but very functional and comfortable to do the job and withstand lots of activity at a reasonable price!!

Picked these up to do some trout fishing. Fit is accurate to chart. No leaks or issues to report after 6 hours of use.The only thing I’m not thrilled about is the Velcro pocket. There’s little room for the pocket to expand. Therefore, putting the smallest items can still cause the Velcro to pop open very easily.

Can you purchase chest waders and wading boots for around $200.00 and stay dry? Yes you can! 8 Fans waders and boots absolutely kept me dry on my return to fly fishing! Great product and is durable as the access to the river was a hike through brush and down a steep bank. Thanks 8 Fans!

I shop for quality waders cause I fish a lot. I discovered these online and gave it a shot and boy was I glad I did. The waders are a great fit and durability is second to none. I recommend this brand to anyone who is looking for a quality set of waders. Way better than the popular ones that are junk and a total scam. Five stars for 8-fans waders!!!!

Man for the price these are thought to beat. Starting with my cons, the size chart is wack. I’m 6’0, 215, size 11 shoe, 36x34 pants and I got an XL. The size chart showed that a XL was going to be what I needed but I think a Large would’ve done fine. They’re pretty baggy on me but not to the point it makes them look bad or unwearable. The stocking feet are huge and I didn’t think they would, but they’re fine in boots. Nevertheless the fit isn’t bad and I was very comfortable all day.They’re very breathable and we’re comfortable all day. I haven’t tried many other waders but I can’t imagine getting much more for your money. Highly recommend. Don’t worry about it being an off brand.

After doing a bit of research, I bought these for salmon fishing in a river in Michigan this coming late October. I am 5'8", 175#, 30" inseam, and wear a size 8 shoe, so according to the size chart I went with a Medium. Overall I think it fits OK and as expected... except for the chest. Given that Medium has a 32" inseam the legs are quite baggy above the knees. The shoulder straps I adjusted as tight as they can go and it pulls the crotch up to a comfortable position, so the bagginess in the legs isn't due to them not being cinched up enough, so it may be annoying but is definitely workable. The socks are quite roomy but fine with thick socks underneath (and fit well in my boots - not to scrunched up or anything), and it fits great in the hips.The chest is where I really have a concern. I'm not quite fit, but definitely not fat - my belly and chest are average - I think I wear a 40 or 42 chest. The top of the wader has a draw string in it, but even with that completely loosened the waders BARELY fit around my chest, and that was with a t-shirt. Not quite sure how this will work with thermal undershirt, regular shirt and/or a sweatshirt (it can get cold in Michigan in October), and for that reason I am really considering returning these. Seems like these were made for someone 5'10" with small(ish) feet and a chest the size of a skinny teenage boy. I guess it's kind of irksome that they provide a drawstring to cinch it tighter, but not any extra material to where you'd need to cinch it tighter.Haven't taken these in the water yet (and obviously won't if I decide to return them), but if I do I'll update my post with how they held up to a couple days standing in the river. They seem pretty well built, but the proof is in the putting.Oh - and one last thing - the pictures show this having a belt... the waders I received had a couple of belt loops, but an actual belt was NOT included, so that's a bit misleading.Update: after a lot of consideration and angst about being able to layer up with warm clothes (specifically shirts) I decided to return the item. From what I could tell this is good quality, just not the right fit for me if I'm gonna be standing chest deep in a river in Michigan in late October. I ended up going with the Caddis stockingfoot waders cuz they had a medium short stout - never considered myself a "stout", but it gives the room I'm looking for in the chest while maintaining leg length and shoe size.

They fit as they say. And work like they should. Great pair of chest wader

Product has proved to stand the test of time, some slight leaks but these were easily repaired, and resolved. Sizing was as stated on the chart. Would definitely recommend.

Best way I can say it is the small fit perfect when you adjust the shoulder straps to as big as they go, rather than a medium with the straps as small as they can go.They fit like casual pants, with 3 layers of hoodie/ thermal gear easily, and I wore long John’s and sweatpants comfortably. I was in the water multiple times they’re basically as warm as neoprene, I’ve bush whacked in them multiple times now, and they seem like a great pair of waders, I have zero regrets. They are comfortable and completely waterproof. The only reason I give them a star off, is because the elastic in the gravel guard part loses its memory.. but they still hook to your laces and do the job of keeping muck out of my boots. Over all extremely happy with the purchase. I feel a lot more mobile fishing compared to booted clunky waders

Leaking after two wears, absolute garbage.As soon as I saw them I knew they were made in the same factory as the last pile of tosh, just a different name. God knows who gives these things good reviews, but they are a complete waste of money. If they look similar to these, avoid like the plague!

Tried them the first time today, and I'm really happy. Quality with seams, stitching, zippers, buckles, all look and work great. For the record, I'm 5'9" 30in inseam, 180, fit build and choose med. The size is almost perfect. I say almost as I used them in a peddle drive kayak and could use a tad more inseam room for peddling, but not bad at all. Walking, bending over, setting up the gear in the kayak and no tightness. My shoe size is about 8-8.5 so you'll need to go up a couple sizes for footwear. I wore dollar store fake crocks.Kept me warm with a thermal layer underneath, water and fish slime, run right off. I also went up waist height in water and fished a little, again they felt great. Obviously no leaks.Should get good use of these over the coming months to see how the quality holds up.One thing.. I didn't get a patch kit in my order. Hope I don't need it, but because I'm landing fish around my legs, a hook puncture may happen. So for the seller if you're reading this, I'd appreciate the patch kit.Also for the seller. Should I be doing anything to help the longevity of them such as seam sealing or other type water proof maintenance?Update after dozens of uses. Holding up great. And many days walking along bogs and in weeds along shorelines. These things are fantastic. I have their boots too.
