Paramount OutdoorsStonefly Breathable Stockingfoot Chest Fishing Wader

Great fitting, quality waders for a great price. I have the wader pants for summer ( about to buy a back up pair) that are still going strong and just got the stonefly's for winter. Wish the boots were more ergonomic with smoother seams but overall I can't see why you'd ever pay $500+ for waders with quality brands like this availble.

There are many great things about these Paramount waders. I'm 5'2" and medium size fit great even though I cinched the suspenders as far as they would go. The elastic around the ankles might not fit around some thick ankle wading boots as they are pretty snug but gravel guards ate supposed to be somewhat tight. The D-loops are a GREAT addition and the fabric is neither slippery or plastic feeling. They feel like a high quality rain/wind jacket. I didn't get wet at all...However, the bottom stitches of the front pocket were not 100% waterproof. They did leak but not through to my clothing, just inside the front pocket itself. Not horribly bogged down just enough to notice that the hand towel I placed in there for testing purposes was indeed wet. I have yet to find any brand that has a 100% waterproof front pocket....buuuut maybe they aren't supposed to be waded in up to 5 inches below the top of fabric! I'm short gimme a break! What I do love most about these waders is that they are incredibly light compared to other large brand names and does the job of keeping me dry. I would suggest not to wear these for winter fishing season but fall would be fine if you were to layer it with some leggings/long johns. Definitely light enough to wear in the summer and spring! I wear a size 8 1/2 in women's and there is about an 1 inch 3/4 extra on the semi narrow foot booties. The belt sits nicely on my waist without the constant need to pull them up like I've experienced with other brands. Overall, of all the waders I've purchased and returned, I love these ones the most. Keeping them and highly recommend!

Light weight, comfortable and no leaks!
