Best Waders of 2026

"I was honestly surprised by the outstanding quality and material of these waders. I didn't size up as suggested and they still fit me perfectly—I'm 5'9", stocky build, 220 lbs. They're 100% waterproof, and even after testing them in chest-deep water, no leaks. The material is thick yet comfortable, and I really appreciated the included patch kit. Even rolling on rocks and kneeling was no problem. I’m totally satisfied and will buy again if I ever need to replace them!"

"I spend long days surveying creeks and rivers, and these waders have been lighter and more flexible than others I’ve tried—perfect for the heat of southern summers. The shoulder straps keep them in place and the phone case is durable. I ordered based on shoe size (13) and the fit is just right, with boots roomy enough for easy entry. There is a slight tendency for slow seepage, but overall, these waders are comfortable and a solid value for light use."

"I used these waders for several hours in very cold water while removing docks for winter. I bought one size up for layering and stayed warm and dry the whole time. The traction was excellent and I had full freedom of movement. No leaks, and the price was unbeatable for the quality. Very pleased with the purchase!"

"I've gone through countless pairs of waders over the years, and I use them for fishing the majority of the year. I found these to be lightweight and affordable, which is a big plus. While durability is always a concern with waders, I feel these are a good value for the price. They're definitely worth a try if you're looking for something that won't break the bank."

"After being away from duck hunting for decades, I was impressed by how well these Foxelli waders performed. They're insulated yet lightweight, and my feet stayed the warmest even standing in cold water. Fit was spot on for my size, and the waterproof phone case was a lifesaver. I truly believe these waders exceeded my expectations!"

"I switched to these waders because my neoprene ones were too warm and restrictive. At age 75, I wanted something that allowed easy movement. So far, these have been the right choice for me, as they're comfortable and don't limit my mobility. Too soon to comment on durability, but I'm pleased with them so far."

"I wore these waders for a few hours in freezing water, and they kept me completely dry and warm. The fit was true to size and the traction was solid. After a long time, I did feel some pressure on my toes, but overall, these are comfortable, reliable, and great for the price."

"I used these daily during duck season in Texas and they have outperformed my expectations. The boots fit well on wide feet, and the material is comfortable and waterproof. Even after getting submerged, the pockets stayed dry. My advice: get insoles for extra comfort, but otherwise, these are absolutely worth the money."

"I bought these for winter pool repairs and was amazed at how well they kept me warm in ice-cold water. I worked for hours with water up to my ribs and never felt cold. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable warmth and waterproof protection."

"I bought these for my son and they've been extremely durable and do a great job keeping him dry. They're lightweight yet tough, and I really appreciate the value for the price."

"I got a pair for my 4-year-old grandson, and the fit and comfort are fantastic. He absolutely loves them, and I would definitely recommend these waders to other parents."

"The sizing chart was very helpful, making it easy to pick the right size for my kid. The waders are well made and the quality is impressive. I did find the boots run a bit big, but exchanging for a smaller size solved the issue."

"I've been using these waders for cleaning and maintaining my backyard pond, and they fit perfectly, even when I sized down due to a discount. They're lightweight, waterproof, and ideal for light-duty tasks like mine. I wouldn't use them for rugged work, but for my needs, they're amazing."

"As someone who's fly fished for years, I can say these PVC waders have won me over from canvas ones. They don't leak, are simple to put on and remove, and they handle brush and rocky terrain well. Sizing is accurate, and while the boots aren't super supportive, a pair of running insoles solves that. Highly recommended if you want something affordable and practical!"

"I've worn these for long hours in water, and they're lightweight and easy to store. While I've had to patch a pair before, the price makes them worth it. I've learned that no waders last forever, so I just replace them when needed. Still, I'd buy again for the value."

"I’m really impressed with these waders—they kept me completely dry and warm for hours, even in near-freezing water. The fit is snug but flexible, the material feels tough, and the seams are absolutely leak-proof. This is definitely one of my best gear purchases. Highly recommend for fishing, hunting, or cold-weather use!"

"As a woman who struggles to find the right fit, I found these waders in size M8 to be perfect for my shape and shoe size. I wore them with layers in cold, snowy weather and through knee- to waist-deep water without a hint of discomfort or leaks. The included phone pouch fits my large phone and the build quality seems excellent. I’m so happy to have finally found a go-to brand for chest waders!"

"I usually don’t write reviews, but these waders deserve it. The packaging, accessories, comfort, and construction all exceeded my expectations. The neoprene insulation is just right for warmth, the boots have great tread, and the extra pockets and bag are super handy. Foxelli really thought of everything, and the price is unbeatable for the quality. I’ll be recommending these to everyone!"

"My 5-year-old loves these waders! They fit him perfectly (he wears a size 13 in little kids) and he finds them super easy to walk in. We’ve enjoyed both duck hunting and fishing together—he’s had a blast!"

"I’m 5'3” and about 110 pounds, and the kid-size waders fit me well. The shoe area is a bit roomy, but overall the fit is great. I’m happy with how comfortable and practical they are."

"I bought a pair for my nearly 4-year-old twins, choosing the 4–5 size so they can grow into them. The fit is just right—not too big. The girls absolutely love them and they’re completely waterproof. The neoprene is soft, and they are super easy to take on and off."

"I bought these waders for my son, and I'm honestly blown away by their quality, comfort, and durability. The waterproofing is top-notch, and my kid can splash, fish, and explore without getting wet or chilly. I also love how easy they are to put on and adjust, plus the included boot hanger is a thoughtful touch for drying them out. These waders are absolutely a must-have for any young outdoor adventurer."

"I wish I'd considered these before buying pricier outdoor gear. My kids stay totally dry and warm even in chilly weather, and the fit has plenty of room to grow. They’re simple to clean and have held up well for all our outdoor water play. Absolutely worth every penny for families with kids who just can’t stay out of puddles and streams!"

"I picked these waders up for my grandkids' fishing trip and they turned out to be functional, comfortable, and easy to move in. The sizing guide was super helpful, and with layered socks, the kids stayed warm. Only minor issue was that the buckle plastic is a bit thin—but it was an easy fix. These waders are a solid choice for active kids without breaking the bank."

"I found these waders simple to slip on and they fit me quite well. They kept me warm in cold weather (though not as much in cold water), and the quality feels solid for my first pair. I’d recommend them to anyone starting out."

"I bought these for fishing and hunting and have been impressed. They're completely waterproof, the nylon/PVC material feels tough, and mobility is excellent. No leaks, and the boot hanger is a nice bonus. I’d suggest these to anyone wanting something durable and reliable."

"Being 5'3'' and 120 pounds with a size 8.5 shoe, I often struggle to find gear that fits. These worked well for my first duck hunting trip—I stayed dry and fit my hunting bibs underneath. Feet got cold since the boots aren’t insulated, but for something quick and affordable, they did the job."

"I've put these waders through a lot during my duck hunts in southwestern Ontario. They are very comfortable, keep me warm even in freezing water, and offer impressive durability for the price. While I did notice a slight leak after standing in water for hours, it didn’t affect my overall experience. I’d still recommend them and hope to get a couple more seasons of use."

"My boyfriend is 6'7'' and 300lbs, and finding gear that fits is tough. These waders in size 14 fit him perfectly, felt comfortable, and seemed really durable. He’s thrilled with them, and I’m happy we didn’t have to spend a fortune."

"I bought these for my son, who’s hard on his gear, and they’ve held up just as well as much pricier waders. They’re warm, completely waterproof, and the price is unbeatable. I’m definitely buying these again—no need to pay $300 more elsewhere."
