Intended purpose? hunting? fishing? trapping?
How much use are you planning on them?

When i was researching wafers for fishing they have good reviews for the price point but mediocre longevity, especially in abrasive situations.

I ended up going with a pair of Simms for the buy once cry once theory and they're great but pricey.

I have the Rogers Elite 2 in 1 breathable waders, which I am pretty sure are actually manufactured by Frogg Toggs. I’ve only run them for one duck season but so far I couldn’t be happier. Very well made and very comfortable. The removable insulated liner is super nice as well. Use the liner during the late season and it feels like wearing a warm comfy pair of waterproof sweatpants.

Just so happens I have an opinion on frogg toggs. Had some hunting buddies this year buy 5 pair of them this year. One leaked so far. They seem to be good but I won’t buy them. The waterproof pocket is low and gets wet. Sizing on these is spot on. If your wear 10’s buy 10’s

Have another buddy running Rogers 2-1 waders and loves them. Going on 3rd season. Without the liner it’s like wearing nothing. In these waders drop a size in boot as they run real big. If you wear 10’s buy 9’s.

Banded leaks so bad you can drain rice and drake every other pair leaks by boot seam and/or crotch and if you have a pair that don’t spring a leak by the season end, buy a lotto ticket.

I have a buddy that hunts everyday and loves his Sitka waders. Warranty is great and if needs repairs it’s 60$

Our whole crew runs these and they've been fantastic! I have the old boot tread, which sucks compared to the new version, but these things are super comfortable and plenty warm. I'm a 12-13 boot @ 6'1" 215-225#s in the winter and I needed 14Ls. Huge improvement over neoprene and we've put 2 seasons on them and they've held up well.

Thanks gentlemen. I should have clarified... hunting ducks. I like the idea of the removable liner. I appreciate your help and this forum. Some guys on forums can be real dicks. Haven't run into one on here, yet!
The fleece liner in the Rogers Elites is a game changer. I used to just rely on quality base layers, one of them being a pair of Sitka gradient pants. They are awesome. But adding in the fleece liner increases comfort and warmth about 3-fold. I really hope these waders last because so far I love them. Lack of longevity is about the only thing that will ruin my opinion of them at this point.

If I have to replace my Gators, the Rogers Elites will be my next purchase. Almost went that route to start with. No regrets yet, but if Gator let's me down, Rogers gets the next round.

You guys have been overpaying for ammo for years. Overpaying for floating plastic. Overpaying for dogs. You should probably just overpay for some waders. Pose for pictures (like no one has ever seen a dead duck before). Make yourself look as elite as possible. Maybe do some fake calling for your new wader pics?
















Aint wut round here? 😂
