CADDISMen's Green Neoprene Stocking Foot Wader

In a hunt for some stocking foot neoprene waders, I wanted to get a pair to replace my Snowbee ones which lasted me some 4 plus years. This time around I wanted to get some with shoulder straps that are all neoprene from front to back without thin straps, unlike the Snowbee ones that constantly slipped off. After some searching I found these waders by Caddis which was the cheapest pair out there.These arrived within the specified time and was in the original manufactured box. The size I got according to the chart was XL stout. To note I'm 5.11ft muscular build of 180lb. My feet size is 10.5 so these are said to cover my size up to size 13 which is quite a drastic jump. I put the waders on and found them to fit perfectly, especially the inseam giving me about 2" crouch room. I could bend in them without any issues.The stocking foot was as expected, rather large, so large in fact that I wondered how I'm going to fit them into my boots. Now for my last pair of boots which I still have, the Snowbee Rockhoppers, these are a size 12. I also had a size 11 pair but these were too tight with both waders. I did manage to get the stockings into the size 12 boot but anything smaller was impossible.The straps are a welcome design as they won't slip off the shoulders. The straps velcro to the waders from the inside but for some reason they put the hooked side velcro on the wader not on the strap so anything such as a jumper worn will get hooked also, which over time will damage your top.I do beach fishing so I went off to try them the next day. I found the stockings molded well into my boot, and although they felt lumpy around the ankles initially this wasn't the case once I had worn them a short time. As these are not thermal-lined I didn't sweat, yet they were warm enough which is welcome because pumping worms in my last pair were just too hot, even in winter. I do miss the front pocket, this is one thing that I felt was missing as you need somewhere to put your car keys, and a wader pocket keeps then dry and warm so as to not drain the car key fob battery in wintertime.So far from my initial impression these waders are well made, they fit well and are easy to get on and off. No leaks as you would expect, and they dry very fast. I will come back with a further review after 1 year from this review to give my findings. In the meantime, these are a great value, and if they were to add a pocket, give more foot size options, and reverse the velcro sides they would be perfect.

Good waders for the price. Only thing about the ones I got, they are hugging. I am not over weight.

Arrived on time, no leaks, fits great and has been keeping me warm in cold Temps. The gravel guards are a bit loose, but I have another set anyways that fits. Great buy, let's see how long they last.

I’m 5’8” 165lb, 10.5-11 shoes size. I ordered the medium and it fit very well, however if I gain anymore weight it will be snug. The shoes size area seem to be over sized but I can live with that. I used a cheap plastic sandals for now to protect the feet . Initially when I received it and try it out, it was hot day and I could not stand it, felt too hot and sweaty. I thought to return it and order the one advertised as breathable, but by next day i decided to keep it and give it a try. In the ocean, it work very well and I did not feel cold at all or hot as at home, it was perfect. It came with something I think they call it guard however I have no clue what to do with it since I can not fastened it to my sandals. With that, I feel comfortable to recommend it to other.

I’m not sure who they model to make the sizes. I am 6 foot tall with a 32 inch inseam (according to a couple of websites that is what is expected). I like extra room in the legs for all the walking I do. So I ordered a pair that says 34 inch inseam. They 34” fit my legs well, but the body literally came up over my shoulders . So I went back to the pair that has a 32 inch inseam which is a little short for the legs, but they are still too long in the body.On the good side, they seem to be well-made, and the material holds up better than many of the other neoprene items. I like the shoulder straps. They are very sturdy and hold well.

Excellent for cold stream fishing and I’ve only used it in late summer / early Fall. It’s likely too hot to use during the summer months. Excellent quality.

It was overdue to get new waders and I did my search. These Caddis waders matched my budget, quality standard. I came of the lake fry, and that hadn’t happened in a few seasons! The gravel guards had been missing. So I called Caddis direct and their customer service blew me out of the water! This lady trusted me in what I shared and the guards are on the way!
